Voltus felt the hesitation in the air, the first light attack was meant to be followed up by another light one or a heavier one, it was an unwritten law of sword fighting but the second attack didn't come fast enough so voltus took his chance. He swung blindly into the air and felt the blade connect with a body and go through the other end, judging by the time of resistance on the blade it was a shallow wound but it still made voltus smile. As he returned to a defensive stance he suddenly convulsed in pain, the slight wound inflicted by his apponent grew deeper as he twisted back to the non-offensive stance, he must have punctured a muscle point that was anchored to bone.
