[@Xavier Bloodbayne] I'm paying plenty of attention. Just check this out; [quote=@Xavier Bloodbayne] A metallic *clang* echoing as the metal of his blade collided with that on his chest. A small portion of blood began being added to the metal on his chest, in efforts to slowly increase its thickness. [/quote] [quote=@Xavier Bloodbayne] Your mistake is in thinking its a "cheap defense". I have covered his chest with so much metal and caked so much blood to his neck that enough is there for a more than significant defense. [/quote] The initial metal on Xavier's chest had come from a small cut. So no, not a lot to make a sheet from unless he sacrifices the blood he'd use to make a neck bulb. What's more, the force is concentrated along a sharp edge. It won't mushroom and make a hole like a jacketed lead bullet. Steel is harder than lead by far. It'll scythe through whatever it hits. Even dulled, it'd whack Xavier's head from his shoulders through pure force. And no, I didn't pull the fps from thin air, unlike the stats you've been giving me for the last several posts. I clearly gave a ground from which to define Auz's capabilities at the start. It was only today that you went into math with what Xavier could do, and I have no way of knowing if you made up his exact speed on the spot to match Auz's. Make no mistake, it is me giving you the benefit of the doubt in terms of speed, but I can't be so generous if you seek to have every possible advantage, when I literally have a sword at your character's neck. Xavier has extraordinary defence, but if he's so tough that even when Auz slashes one of Xavier's most mortal spots at full power that he can live, I'd have to call this an unsalvageable mismatch. There's no reason Xavier can't block all his vitals, if his blood can pool and harden in any spot it is present as fast as an enemy can attack, with enough gusto to stop something carrying several times the energy of a bullet that can shoot through tank armor. Again, I'll say it. Auz is channeling a direct slash to Xavier's throat with at a bare, bare minimum, four times the power a bullet needs to penetrate a tank.
