But resist the attack Mikkish did not. The physical buff magic was only a brief effect, rather than a constant one, so each ultra powerful strike or extremely quick dodge was a different cast of its own. When struck behind the knees, Mikkish fell over. 

But he did not merely accept defeat. Instead, the air in front of Blink briefly ignited, and if it were not hot or close enough to burn it would be sudden and flashy enough to surprise.

Then, Mikkish rolled backwards, then speed dashed a few feet away yet again, only so Mikkish could speed dash into Blink once more, but this time unleashing a flurry of lighting quick punches and a few kicks and knee strikes.
