Stronger than the majority of human warriors, Vos could punch through steel plate with little strain, but even then, he were just an apprentice; crossing the margin of peak human strength weren't enough to rival space-age technological advancment. First, his own hand were forcefuly rammed into his side, painfuly bashing him with the dagger's pommel. Forunately, crouching, he flexed the abdominal muscles, negating any internal damage - but immediately after that, followed Sev's boot, violently throwing him backwards, Danwarge helplessly slipping off the leg's armor as he fell. The sideways stance did save him from sprawling down on his back though, instead, allowing Vos to first fall on his left knee as the leg bent, and then stop the fall altogether with the dagger wielding arm, which were thrown back and now ready to support his weight. There were more than six feet between them, but that would prove to be little of an obstacle for Sev, should the mage continue laying on the ground. He had to get on his feet fast, before he had his skull smashed by the bat, so screaming, half in pain, half with rage, Vos'stoorge brought his right leg in and heaved himself back into position, his right arm raised with the sword pointed towards Sev's face - if his opponent managed to reach him before he were standing straight, Vos would try to prevent his attacks by spraying a tight jet of acids from the tip of Danwarge. If this somehow worked, he wouldn't rush back into combat: his mentors were right about sending him here, his lack of combat experience already showing in such a painful manner. Hewere capable performing feats of agility and speed that could be nigh impossible for a normal human; his body was both powerful and nimble at the same time, making him inhumanly swift and mobile. Unfortunately, that seemed not to be enough to safely incapitate his opponent, as proven just now, the biker having superiour reach, a rather keen combat ability and the advatage of being able to ignore most counters thanks to his armor. To retreat were the best available option right now, and so, Vos backed off a dozen or so feet away from Sev, moving in cross-steps: this would allow him to snap into a battle stance immediately upon any sign of danger. Then, he would swap his sword for a thinner and shorter stilleto - using a more maneuvrable weapon to slip underneath the armor or slit Sev's throat seemed like the way to go. To pull that off, he had to get into and past the bat's range, and skill alone would be insuffcient for that task. Vos gathered his mana and unlocked the seals on two of his spells, letting power flow through and bring them into an energized state. One were Black and White, targeted at Sev, and the other - Boulder Gut. Both grew active in a matter of seconds, and Vos released them, hoping that this would turn the battle to his favor.
