Brian didn't bother exchanging words with the demon knight, continuing his calculated attack. He blocked the claw with his sword while dodging the other with minimal movement once more. He moved closer to the demon knight—too close for comfort—and once again, the claws, like a coiling snake, bent toward Brian. Stagnant Water almost felt like Brian's intention was to kiss the demon knight, but at the last minute, Brian bent down. The demon knight's own claws stabbed into its own body, the speed and unexpectedness of the move catching it off guard.
Seizing the moment, Brian propelled himself upward and swung his sword, creating a deep and long cut, the demon knight's health dropping at an insane rate.
