[@Xavier Bloodbayne]

Xavier only has one life, but he's tough enough to get stabbed multiple times, including through the neck, and still be in fighting shape. He can be slightly stronger, Auz can be slightly faster. Xavier, however, also has the versatility of homing, armor piercing instant whipswords.

But now Auz is at his best, and so I'm assuming both can kill each other with comparable ease. Now then... The bulb will just make the sword glance up or down after it /blasts/ through his rising chest sheet, thus still cutting his head off, more or less.

I know what I got into, and I'm telling you now, at his current power no cheap defenses summoned on a "whim" will stop Auz's attack.

That's an anti-material rifle. You can guess how big the bullets are. Do they have the weight of a longsword held by a 150 pound superhuman in full armor? Not even remotely close.
