Venator barely had time to react as she fired. He side-stepped just in time to avoid the worst of the blow, but it was still enough to knock him backwards and off his feet. Rolling to recover as quickly as possible, he put his weapon back into rifle form, quickly raising the weapon to load Lightning-type dust and fire off three retaliatory bursts, one in front and two on target.

With any luck, the increased velocity of the bullets would grant him a few more hits, and the residual electrical effect would stun or at least slow the girl down. His goal of using as few tricks as possible getting further and further away, Venator was still hesitant to rely on his semblance if he didn't know more about Pazice's fighting style. After all, the right semblance could counter his completely, which would be a serious problem.
