Fury had obviously been more significantly injured than he thought when he was taken completely unawares by his opponent and launched skyward by a shield-piercing, bone breaking punch. 

However, finding himself already airborne was quite the boon, as he decided to shoot upwards and far out of his opponent’s range, leaving the fight for greener pastures while he allowed himself some time to heal, after all there wasn’t really any reason to stick around anyway, and Fury didn’t care that much about Khazna, he could fight his own battles. So, without much else to do he floated off, his eyes taking in a large and interesting energy signature which he dimly remembered was their original objective.
