The same attack? No, he could clearly see Gilgamesh had planned something different, and the difference was soon made apparent. This attack would not be dodged, not while he remained within the area that he himself had locked tight, preventing escape. However, Stein had many tricks up his sleeve, and he had faced such attacks before. Fotunately his defense was the perfect counter. "Resonance technique! Soular Shield!" Stein's soul manifested itself physically, a powerful shield formed by hardened spiritual particles, the wooden and metal stakes shattering and bending on this shield, capable of taking on the attack of the Gorgon, Medusa. Who had later become his wife. Once the attack was done, Stein simply walked out from the field of stakes, unwounded.
'Once more you fail to harm me. The King of Heroes is well known for his arrogance, but who knew? The dog can bark, but not bite." The insults were purposeful, of course. Stein knew that the offensive power of a weapon such as Ea, or even any of the mountain or country destroying weapons in Gilgamesh's arsenal, would surely kill the members of Team RWBY below, who would die. His remaining concern was Fragrach, the dagger that was always aimed at his heart. However, for the sole purpose of avoiding the damage dealt by that dagger, he had had his heart removed, and placed in a different location. The dagger would fly off and land in his now useless heart, out in the forest. "And it seems we have a visitor." Soon, Stein would go on the offensive, once preparations were complete.
