Johnathan prepared for the blow as Magnus charged towards him, and shot forward with a punch to the jaw, only to find his fist passing straight through the illusion. As Johnathan realized the trap, he recieved a heavy blow from behind, forcing him to stagger, as Magnus took a hold of his helmet. Luckily for Johnathan, his armor was strapped together quite firmly, as all well-made armors were, and simply pulling would not be enough to remove his helmet. All Magnus would get for his efforts was burned hands.
However, Johnathan wasn't about to give him another try. Turning around, he punched Magnus in the side while he was distracted by his inability to remove the helmet, landing a solid rib-breaking blow. A broken rib wasn't much to a vampire, but it was enough to send the relatively lighter vampire flying, as Magnus crashed almost comically in a tree. Raising his left arm, Johnathan fired Valentia at the vampire, dousing him with the holy smoke as much as was possible while the vampire recovered from the initial blow. Magnus would be too fast to land a killing blow, so this would be a war of attrition. Johnathan would burn and smash his opponent until the vampire was too exhausted to heal his wounds any faster than a human. Then, Johnathan would end the fight.
