[@Pirouette]

Snarling angrily at his blow failing to stun his opponent and thus spoiling his chance at slicing her to pieces in a deadly combo attack along with the realization that teleportation wasn't merely an insertion method for the Swordswoman, the Knight quickly readjusts the way he held his longsword to facilitate easier and more powerful thrusts, while his initial plan of attack was to once again rush in and try to get within her guard; Red suddenly charging towards him changes matters. Feeling quite insulted that his foe would charge in after her dishonorable sneak attack, the knight responds in kind in a frenzied surge of violence; his speed, near-bestial aggression and the weight of his footfalls bringing to mind a stampede of Cape Buffalo chasing after a calf-killer.

Moments before the clash however, the interloper teleports yet again, knocking sense back into the rage-clouded mind of the Mage-Knight and causes him to come to a sudden halt; his armored boots digging furrows into the Earth as he comes to a fairly long stop. Looking around him to find the distinctive glow of her blade, the Knight was about to crane his head up until Red's pencil-thin laser lances through the air and drills into his dominant shoulder, earning the swordswoman a very visible hole on the Knight's pauldron that was immediately followed up by a spurt of blood to shoot out of the entrance wound, the result of blood flash-boiling from the laser's intense heat and a pained but very enraged groan the Knight.

Judging from the damage dealt to her opponent, Red was right on the money regarding the Knight having incredibly durable armor and a passive shield, which both were much stronger than she had anticipated when the Knight, in desperation and pain-addled rage, blocks the incoming Transistor sword with his left wrist, the desperate block seemingly did more harm than good as the blade dug a good inch and half-deep through the scorched Vambrace and made the Knight howl in anguish... But it evidently wasn't harmful enough as the Knight immediately retaliated by lashing out with a savage but incredibly swift thrust of his longsword aimed at Red's center of mass.
