Virathus did in fact go on the defensive blocking the Wolkar's wild attacks. Without a real target they were child's play to defend against, but they blade coming at him was targeted and had a reason behind it. Though it took effort to block, he slammed his body against the wall to dodge the blow and using his forearm he tried to slam the blade down towards the ground, for a rebuttal his other arm came to try and backhand the Wolkar to get some distance again.

Fighting an armed man without any weapons wouldn't be the fairest of fights. He need to arm himself somehow.
