Using Teleportation, I instantly appeared behind him, pressing my left fist against his back and shoving upward. Sensing danger, he spun around, swinging the tail of his gun toward my head.
Raising my right Arm Blade, I parried the incoming gun tail. My block deflected the attack, but the sheer force behind the gun tail still sent me stumbling outward. My Arm Blade still found its mark, however, slicing a long gash across his back. Though non-fatal, accumulating such wounds would give me a decisive advantage over time.
It seemed his spear technique wasn't terrifying enough to make quick work of me; otherwise, scoring a victory here would have been difficult. My tactic had succeeded: whether he healed the wound or not, he was bleeding energy. Meanwhile, I had only taken a minor shockwave—it was nothing at all.
