[center][h3][b]A Deft Maneuver[/b][/h3][/center][hr]Noting Jordan's glance at the sky, Raelis wondered why the man had done so. After all, it was not wise to look away from your opponent whilst in the midst of battle. Nonetheless, Raelis did nothing 'cept watch him and wonder when he would notice that he wasn't proactively attacking him as of yet. Then, as Jordan put his hood up Raelis noted him vanish. At first his eyes darted about, then he turned his head to make the motion visible to Jordan. However, a smile rested on his face as he did so, for he could detect him just fine. While the man moved Raelis' nanobots did some measurements and told him the strength of the man's mask and clothing. The clothes were normal 'cept the one that was causing the invisibility. However, the mask was durable to take a few high speed projectiles it seemed.

Not durable enough for what he intended however. With his plan formulated Raelis called out, [color=#fff79a][b]"Show yourself..."[/b][/color]. Even as he did he knew the man had begun his attack maneuver from behind him. Thus it was in the second before the blade would have struck and cut his armor, that Raelis shifted his foot so his back became parallel to the blade. In the same motion his wing whipped back and, if unimpeded, slammed into the man's head, hitting the mask in the process. If it hit the mask would shatter as the force behind his blow was well beyond that given out by whatever the face-piece had been designed to sustain.

If the man were to raise his other blade to block then Raelis would respond accordingly.

The area around him had reached a piping hot 110 degrees whereas the Relic's aura had reached 200 degrees and the Relic itself had reached 300. Raelis made sure to divert the heat to the cutting edges of his weapon. This would keep it from easily saturating the weapon's core and subsequently its handle and his gauntlet.
