Roy's defiant offensive gesture didn't surprise Travis but the speed in which the hunter carried out his attack was unexpected given the injuries that he had sustained. Nevertheless, this was a reply Travis was expecting though had hoped Roy would never enact. Just as Roy became within distance of actually stabbing him, Travis had activated his contingency plan; a Decamp spell. More than once did the former witch hunter hurl knives or try to stab at Travis when he least expected it; now that Travis was acquainted with Roy's maneuvers, responding to them was simple if planned properly.

The spell took effect immediately, thanks in part to the pre-flowing of mana in to his left hand. While nobody would notice it in the brief instance once fired, Travis' body would of quickly emanated a white glow, almost like a flash of artificial light. The spell itself was something he had picked up on while observing Raiya utilizing comparable spells and techniques. Given how uncommonly often he would be chased by cultists and hunters in the past, the ability to enhanced one's maneuverability became a necessity to him. Following Travis' mental instructions and desires, his entire form shifted several feet away from Roy, denying the hunter his kill though for only a few delayed seconds if he tried to continue his attack. Now with a fair amount of distance between him and Roy, Travis wasted no time and discharged all three of his runes at point-blank range.

His two lightning spells would have taken no time at all to strike Roy given the space between him and the source runes, soon followed up by Travis' backdraft rune a split second later.
