A sigh escaped the Hybrid as the male spoke. And when Gruzen inhaled the oxygen the Chaos around the Nephalem flared, only intensifying at the presence of spiritual energy. With his inhuman speed Matthew drew the katana from the sheath, slashing the air within the same motion. A blade of Chaos was shot from the Rift Stone blade, molding into the Spiritual Wind exhaled by the opponent. It would rapidly consume the spiritual essence and nullify the wind before dissipating. The movement caused Matthew to slide his right foot back, his upper body leaning forward.

Then Gruzen charged. Pivoting on his right foot the Hunter swung the sheath up from his lower back, using it to parry the incoming katana. The sheath would knock the katana away and leave an opportune moment. Matthew planted his left foot firm on the ground, spinning the weapon into an underhanded grasp. He was quick to sheath the weapon, jerking his arm back while using his right hand on the pommel of the hilt to propel the sheath with added force. The end of the sheath was directed for Gruzen's gut. The power the Nephalem was putting behind the strike would be enough to wind the Wind Elemental, possibly leaving him gasping for air.
