Kami stabbed Mithias. Magnus stabbed Kami. 

The pain of the wound completely denied worthy of attention, Mithias pulled back, strategically analyzing his error within a fraction of a second and committing to memory the expert technique he had witnessed. Kami had a repitiore of the unexpected, and that was deadly. Mithias couldn't afford to underestimate him. Recklessness would only lead to a swift death, despite his bravery.

Mithias attacked again, keeping his opponent busy, this time more respectful of the slayer's threat. The vampire quickly began to realize that he was faster than Kami, and that Kami's leg had been grabbed, impairing his movement. With every passing moment, Mithias was gaining confidence and Kami's technology was degrading.

The two relocated as they fought, and Hank charged in and picked up Magnus from where he had been on the ground. There was no way to turn around and attend to Magnus even if he was in danger. Even if Magnus died, Kami was too dangerous to try to depart from. As much as he hated to risk it, Mithias had to let Magnus deal with Hank himself. 

Hale bopped around, forcing Kami out of position frequently, and making it difficult for the assassion to get a good swing at either Mithias or his blades. Meanwhile, Mithias kept his deceptive, parriless bladework going. He wasn't allowing any direct hits against his titanium, and would use leverage techniques and edge-grinding slides to cast Kami's swords out of line. Still, the cyborg warrior knew how to take advantage of every opportunity with his ingenuitive technique, and Mithias wasn't unscathed. A few of his attacks failed. With each cut he received, the vampire lost a little blood, and thus even the immortal also had a limit to his duration. Mithias realized didn't have to be unrelenting so much as patient. His superior speed would win this as Kami slowly ran out of fuel and fell to the aura of ruination. He began to feel hope. 

Surely some trick would be up Kami's sleeve. He would have some poison, some flashbomb, or some suicidal explosive. Mithias kept that knowledge in the back of his cautious mind as he kept dinging at Kami's armor, working on its weak points. A small cross flashed from the vampire's neck.
