The moment Gabriel twisted away from the assassin blade, the agility type hero rank moved. One moment he was standing several meters away, the next he was already inside Gabriel range, his body a blur cutting through smoke and debris like it was not even there.
The clash was sudden and violent. Gabriel greatsword snapped up just in time, not for a full block, but to redirect his enemy attack.
Steel scraped against steel with a harsh screech as the agility hero rank blade slid off the flat of the sword instead of sinking into Gabriel side.
The force still carried through as Gabriel boots dug into the ground and he was pushed back half a step. He pivoted, twisting his hips, using the momentum rather than fighting it head on, and countered with a low horizontal sweep aimed at the man legs.
The agility hero rank leapt. His feet barely brushed the air as he flipped backward, landing lightly several steps away, the anxiety in his eyes growing.
