Eryx acknowledged this, it was a good course of action given the position but he had run through the scenario already. He put out his rear arm and leaned onto it, lowering himself down. A weight exchange made countering the opposing side. He put the other arm up to block encase his opponent tried to bring the weight downwards suddenly and with his rear arm taking it's place to keep him up. The rear leg shot out, being crouched down it had room to move and gather more force to kick at the unweighted leg. After all, one can't move while they are in the air. Seeing no possible counter options for someone in such a position and no one else around he muttered a single word. "Checkmate."
