Tested (Part Four)

Tycondrius stabbed at the retreating Tanamar, only for his sword to be deflected downward and his wrist grabbed. The Holy Lancer directed a powerful knee at his face, which Tycon managed to soften by blocking with his offhand palm. He used the momentum of the blow to throw himself back, simultaneously twisting his wrist to escape Tanamar's grasp. 

A 'Holy Lance' jabbed at his face-- forcing Tycon to dodge and slip the series of attacks. He deflected the fourth thrust... a noticeably shallow strike. 

Tycon was... not a combat class. In a normal combat situation, he often relied on his allies, his skills, his bloodline abilities, and even alternate weaponry. In terms of pure skill... he was being slightly outclassed by the Holy Lancer. 

Tanamar smashed the side of his mana spear against a point between Tycon's neck and collar. A normal person would have been knocked out by such a strike.
