Dmitri didn't really think his attack would land, in fact he'd be surprised if it did, but it was rather so that he could remove his opponent's higher ground advantage, which succeeded to do. But there was one drawback to his maneuver, his opponent ended up leaping over him with great finesse, which Dmitri was not expecting. He barely dodged the incoming blade, but it still left a fairly small gash (in his back to the right side) at half an inch, though it did sting, it did not hinder (his ability to fight in any way. But now it was time for him to take his advantage on the battle field. Backing away a fiew feet to get into appropriate range, Dmitri opened a portal under himself and above the very pillar his opponent had been perched on moments later, preparing himself for incoming attacks. "Seems this guy likes his throwing knives." Dmitri mumbled, he had had easy times against knive throwers in the past, but he was still cautious, this guy had a certain edge about him, it was completely unkown what this man was capable of.
