Unfortunately for Priroda, she played right into Herriman's plan. Sure, she might have faked him out a bit by sliding past him, but he was wheeled around to face her almost as quickly as she had passed passed him. It would appear that Herriman wasn't as slow as she thought.
And that wasn't the only thing. The hooks on herriman's flesh weren't there for her hands, since Priroda would have to have been a fool to even think about grappling him. No, the hooks were meant for her sickle. As soon as she tried to cut at his chest with that wide horizontal swing, Herriman slightly angled his chest, and that was that.
Catching on one of the chitinous hooks, Priroda's swing would never take place, and the spell would never happen, not to mention that her momentum would stop dead in its tracks, leaving her even more vulnerable. Giving her as little a chance to recover as possible, Herriman didn't hesitate to tighten his grip on Setrak, and thrust the hand holding it forwards knucke first, intent on landing a swift, brutal punch to the side of Priroda's face, followed by a straight kick to the gut if she was still standing after that.
If they connected, Herriman's blows would be more than enough (individually) to send Priroda to the ground, and could also severely injure her.
If, by any chance, his attacks did result with Priroda on the ground, Herriman would laugh, and glance up to one of the cameras. He was still for a moment, as if allowing Priroda time to recover from her blows, but he broke his silence. Motioning to Sol with his axe, he began to speak. "Run to your sister, earth warden. Fighting you is hardly sport. I will fight both of you.
