Cassius moved again, and this time the attack was a combination.
His rapier thrust forward in a series of lightning-fast strikes while his free hand cast Blood Magic simultaneously.
Crimson spears materialized in the air, each one aimed at a different part of Satou's body.
Satou was forced onto the defensive. He used Shadow Step to dodge the rapier, appeared behind Cassius, and lashed out with a kick enhanced by Orc's Might.
Cassius spun impossibly fast, his rapier deflecting the kick by striking Satou's ankle at just the right angle. The force of the deflection sent Satou stumbling.
"Your Shadow Step is good," Cassius noted, "but you emerge from it in a predictable pattern. Always behind your opponent, always at the same distance. Vary it.
Sometimes appear to the side. Sometimes above. Sometimes don't fully emerge—stay half in shadow and attack from there."
