Daxius didn't have time to think about whether the knives hit, he had to be swift and commit to the follow up attack, he knew this was dangerous, he didn't care, he had to buy time while his undead companion made it to the scene. He expected some sort of parry, this human was a skilled swordsman no doubt, as he swung towards the injured leg the assasin dropped his dagger to counter Dax's hand. Daxius could have pulled away last minuite to avoid injury, but he didn't want to go on the defensive, after all he was unarmed. [b]SCHICK[/b] The mighty feline demon's hand smacked against the dagger, it didnt quite impale the palm, his hand was at an odd angle so it sort of cut into the flesh diagonally, Daxius howled in pain but his eyes once again flashed glowing blue as he kept pushing his hand against the blade!! He was using the momentum of the swing and his superhuman strength to try to pull the blade off of the assassin, who was readying his hand to throw a dagger at his right foot. With his hand still on the blade now bleeding, he quickly lifted his foot off the floor to drive a hard knee to the left side of the assasin's abdomen. The thrown dagger sliced past daxius's thigh leaving a fairly shallow but painful cut. He was too focused on the pain of the dagger to cry out again though. Now if the assassin were to leap back to avoid the super quick knee, he would surely forfiet his dagger as Daxius's strength and grip were stronger than any human's.
