A slash towards the ankle considering the angle was as effective as the swat it used on the shoe. It set Sleeth off balance and he fell back, did this thing not want to kill him or was it truly stupid? Fast yes but as the boy watched he seen the sloppy and defective fighting style it had. Sleeth frowned, disappointed. If he were that fast the predator would be mincemeat but even though he was fast for a human against that he wouldn't make it. He looked again, waiting for a blind spot and once it was focused on the girl again he set another kick out for the back of the shoulder, a place where it's claws wouldn't even be an option.
