    By... deflecting it? The whole point of deflecting rather than blocking is that it requires less strength. You're not stopping their sword, just changing its trajectory. No, you're not locked into retreating. You can see your opponent's every mistake before it happens, exploit every single opportunity they give you. Well, in all of those cases besides the Koloss army we're talking about Mistborn with Pewter, who have a fair few more options to counter two attacks at once. And in the case of the Koloss, some of them did die, and they were fighting in an organized unit, not surrounded by enemies.

    "No, that's this one." Nameless held up another pack that had a spearhead sticking out the top. "No, that one has the instruments."

    "Excellent!" Nameless handed Lerac a pack. "Careful with that one. It's delicate."

    Unintelligible used his powers to cool the dragon's blood down to -58 degrees.

    Atium in the books has been shown to be better than Pewter. Whether or not you think that is bad writing, it is the reality. The perfect move isn't to block it then. It would to dodge or deflect it. How would you get into that situation while burning Atium? A situation where dodging or blocking all of the attacks coming for you is physically impossible, I mean. Sure, if you wait until you're surrounded and have multiple attacks coming towards you from all sides to burn Atium you'll be in trouble, but if you're actually burning Atium, you'd likely just kill one or both attackers before they can get to you.

    Unintelligible leaps into action, throwing his sword into the dragon's eye.

    So? By the time Vin realizes he's dodged, the knife's already stopped. You want her to slowly lean forward and press it against his chest? Or do you want her to react mid-stab and throw herself forward, in which case Zane could just grab her arm and throw her to the ground or something. Well, yeah, but a seer's ability to not get stabbed in the heart/decapitated/hit with that axe that Vin did is a lot better than the pewterarm's ability to survive those hits. Those situations where it is literally impossible to avoid a lethal hit are extremely difficult to produce when someone has several seconds in advance to avoid them. Yes, exhaustion will be a factor eventually, and a steelrunner will be able to move so fast that it doesn't matter what the seer does, but outside of that making a no-win situation will be nigh impossible. You're not just going up against someone with the ability to see your next move, you're up against someone with the ability to see your next move and the analytical skill to figure out the perfect reaction to it instantly.

    It was at this moment that Unintelligible burst into the room, sword covered in blood.

    Nameless approached, carrying several packs. "Hey guys. And rabbit. You ready for the Tower?"
  10. NameIess
    It was this doubled cult that now defended the fortress against the Vengeance Collective.

    "Indeed. It would appear to be going well." Unintelligible summoned a sword, slashing through several guards that survived the blast.
  12. NameIess
    "What? No. I just wanted to know if you were going to kill Rym." Unintelligible strolled towards the wall, guards spontaneously bursting into flame as he approached. "That would throw quite a wrench in the murder mission."
  13. NameIess
    "Permanently? I died once. Came back to life too."
  14. NameIess
    "You're sure you wouldn't want to kill anyone with that sword first?"
  15. NameIess
    "What, you want to kill Rym and take the sword from him by force?"
  16. NameIess
    Unintelligible shrugged. "I'm sure he won't kill anyone too important. Besides, without that sword it'll be pretty difficult to kill Subversion, if and when we find her."
  17. NameIess
    "You're just worried he'll stab you with it."
  18. NameIess
    "If he wanted to, he could already kill pretty much anyone whenever he wants to."
  19. NameIess
    "Yeah. I wouldn't recommend using that sword against the Witherlord."
  20. NameIess
    "I see. Well, we should probably catch up to the others." Unintelligible gestured for Rym to go on ahead of him. "I'm sure they need our help for right about now."
  21. NameIess
    "I'm going last. If something happens to the portal, I don't want us getting separated."
  22. NameIess
    "Really? That's pretty cool. Didn't know that Avatar's got benefits like that. I don't think Moni ever got anything like that. Maybe that's part of why she... hm. Do you get any other perks from being an Avatar?"
  23. NameIess
    While everyone else charged, Unintelligible hung back, glancing at Rym’s Mordite blade. “You just carry that thing around with you? Aren’t you worried about someone stealing it?” @Ookla the Perpetual

    A gateway split the air in front of them, opening onto the top of a cliff overlooking a forest.

    “Sneak in? Come on. We don’t need to sneak. We’ve got like three Narrators and a bunch of insanely powerful people. Subversion’s just one relatively inexperienced proto-Narrator. This’ll be over in a jiffy.”
