[@Xavier Bloodbayne]

At this point, Auz should be significantly faster than Xavier. It's how he breaks even against Xavier's durability and strength. If his best swings can't cut through bone and blood armor, then it was a rather moot fight to begin with. 

Even more credibility to it considering Auz was poised to strike the entire time, and Xavier's left arm was lowered. That's a feint based purely upon Xavier's physical prowess, like if I lowered my arm, let an angry eleven year old girl walk over, and then brought it back up to punch her in the face.

Speed is Auz's game much more so than Xavier's, so saying that Xavier can match Auz's strike is what doesn't cut it. Lending speed to a whip with a foot of motion should scarcely allow it to channel nary a fraction of the speed or power of Auz's swing, as it'd have far less mass behind it and as it grew out during the swing, it'd not have the full momentum of that meager foot. You seem to imply that the raw dynamic strength in Xavier's blood and body can boost him enough to match Auz. That pretty much gives him every advantage, in terms of strength, hard-to-killness, reach, and speed.
