Raln waited out his opponent's mad swings, although he didn't have forever to wait; only 10 seconds from the time he began the magic. He pulled out another dagger, running dangerously low on them now, and tossed it at his opponent's center of mass yet again. It would make it's appearance before it managed to hit him, but because it would be very hard for his opponent to know what he was up to until the dagger was already on it's way, that would severely limit his response time. Raln then rushed around to his opponent's left side to slash out at his neck. Rushing this fast would turn him into a far more visible blur, but he was running out of time to make his move so couldn't waste it slowly creeping around, especially if he wanted to strike soon after his dagger attack came in.
