Rather than make any move to defend himself, Xavier only grinned as the man closed the distance. As Auzs foot fell and the club pressed on Xaviers shoulder, the metallic webbing holding the club retracted, but the stone held firm now. With the club on his shoulder the angle was almost to perfect and the man was dangerously close. The rods position changed in an instant without Xavier physically signalling it . The base elongating at an incredible rate towards the center of Auzs breastplate. It would extend for an extra foot beyond the impact point. If he did not move in time the impact would be substantial. Enough to buckle the metal and potentially knock him off balance, possibly incuring physical damage beneath the metal as well. The extra foot extension would be used to shove him away after the impact should his balance be compromised. All the while Xavier watched for the mans reaction, not having moved and waiting to conduct a physical counter should the next action require it.
