Jacos's strike is blocked, but he has more than simple punches up his sleeve. With a quick turn of his hand, he snatches the enemy's wrist and pulls back, trying to send her off balance. At the same time, the longsword in his other hand rises up, preparing for a downward slash at his opponent. She was strong to block even a fractional-strength concussive strike, and the magical flames rising in her other hand were impressive...but such was not enough to prove her worthy.
