Devonus stumbled backword, astonished by the force of the blow. His sight wavered slightly from the lack of oxygen and when he finally gulped down a breath of air his lungs shouted with releaf...
all that from one knee... damb Neko's are tougher then i thought.
He stumbled back to his feet and steadied himself, bringing his eyes back into focus. The pain of the blow had knocked him into his battle trance, and now his only thought was of beating the neko into the ground. he assesed his target with his now narrow blue eyes, trying to figure out how such an easy tactic had failed... and then he remembered the neko's damb gravity manipulation.
so hand to hand won't work will it...
he spotted one of the discarded training swords and dove for it, completly forgetting he was sparring, he brought it up, tested it's balance real quick and then sped towards the neko, surprisingly fast, it seemed his battle lust had instinctivly activated his own limited gravity control, though he didn't relize it. He aimed for a powerful slash to the neck, hoping to crush the wind pipe or break some vertebret.
