The parry was a superb mitigation of Terrance's initial strike, throwing his own strength back at him and shifting the larger huntsman backward a bit, his hammer reeling to his left with the swing uncompleted. It clearly threw Terrance for a moment that a mere sword had deflected his blow so succinctly. His reading was correct as Terrance was forced to take a more defensive stance for Asher's incoming assault, holding his hammer with the head up and forward slightly, intent to use it to block any immediate forward attacks.
