Daxius launched the kick mainly out of instinct, his demonic fighting spirit would occasionally go on auto pilot when he hadnt enough time to think about an attack rationally. He knew the kick would be just a little slower than he would have liked against a human who could dodge throwing knives. He was ready though, his left hand was reaching in towards his equipment belt as he lauched the kick which just barely missed the assasin. 

Daxius flung his grappling claw at the assasin to follow up the kick, he would use this vicious instrument as he would a flail/whip hybrid allowing him to lash out at his dodging oppoenent at a fair distance, aiming the hook at his torso, as his body turned to face him.

Daxius's right hand still holding the sword in typical back hand fashion quickly jerked in the way of an incoming crossbow bolt, allowing him to bat it away, much like the man did with his throwing knives.

The nasty blades of the grappling claw glinted in the street light as they flew towards the assasin.
