Barely avoiding a fatal attack, Dmitri now had his blood pumping and was ready for a fight. He started to approach his opponent as yellow mist formed around his enemie's feet. "Hmm... how peculiar, he ascended that pillar with greater ease than ive seen in my days. No matter, he will still be no match for my power." Dmitri thought this, and thereafter used his ability Withdrawal. A fairly small portal opened up beside Dmitri to his right, purposefully place there so that he could quickly insert DragonWhisker into it with his right hand, and reach across his body with his left arm, offering some protection while he withdrew his GuanDao, a longer weapon than his sword. Dmitri then performed a short sprint and when close enough jumped, and performed a huge slash from right to left with his weapon, attempting to cut open his opponent. (Dmitri holds the GuanDao with his right hand forward, and his left hand further back.)
