Seeing 2 gargoyles approaching him from opposite sides he quickly sidestepped to dodge a vertical slash made by the right hand of the gargoyle attack from the left all the while preparing a lightning charged roundhouse kick to greet the gargoyle charging from the right which deviated his charging path enough to make it crash with the other one. They both slammed into the wall with one gargoyle **down**, the one who took the full impact of the charge and bashed into the wall, and the other getting a few cracks. He turned around ready for another assault while Xavio waited to see it's next move and hopefully counter it. The gargoyle charged forth while the sorcerer prepared another lightning charged attack which missed as the gargoyle performed a feinting attack and backed off at the last second choosing to perform a low attack with his tail which Xavio dodged by jump. As he was in mid air the tail abruptly changed direction upward then horizontally towards the sorcerer which had enough time to block with his hands as defensive measure against the blow which flew him towards the open area in the middle where the relic had been. Xavio slide/rolled in the ground but quickly recovered intercepting the momentum attained from the attack by "holding" into the ground. The moment he looked up the gargoyle's claw was mere inches away from his face which he managed to dodge in time but not without the left side of his hood getting shredded. Right after the evasion he quickly countered with a charged lightning fist **which pierced through the gargoyle's chest, withdrawing but only for a moment as he leaped towards the gargoyle covering it's face with his palm and releasing a powerful torrent of lightning disintegrating its head to dust.**
