If not the familiar gleam of Sol's magical energy, sticking out of the gash in the boulder, his attack would've left Ido confused and seriously doubting the windmage's combat ability - but as the demon could see the blade's extension, he quickly understood what wicked intent was behind this strike. However, he was already far away from where Sol expected him to be, rendering the windmages efforts futile. A pity, since the poor guy was busy pulling out his sword, he also lost the opportunity to bring down his opponent's cover and let the gunner shoot, as Ido already had both the smokebomb and flashbang at ready.

However, he ended up needing neither, Sol choosing charging into a melee over requesting someone else's aid. Unfazed by by such a recklessly agressive approach, Ido smugly grinned, baring his sharp, carnivorous teeth, and put his right foot ahead of himself, preparing for a brutal counter. Locking onto the blade's path with his eyes, he leapt into the air and sent himself barreling towards Sol by pushing off with the left leg, while swinging his body clockwise around his right. Masterfuly transfering the spin, the forwards motion and mass of his body into a downwards elbow slam with his left arm, Ido would knock the blade away from himself, and then meet Sol with a powerful body slam, bringing him down to the ground.
