Ross's blade sailed through the air, and he shifted his left foot with its momentum, quickly spinning to face the oncoming golem. With a single motion, Ross tossed his blade through the air, allowing it to crash into Bruce's colossus, with enough force to shatter it into several pieces on impact. Straight afterwards, Bruce popped up nearby, and Ross set himself into a direct sprint towards the man with his right hand held low, ready to fling out at a moment's notice. Ross' blade however, upon losing its speed and striking the ground, disappeared, and left behind a spiny burst of rocks, shaped like an exaggerated thistle ball. Ross opened his next assault with a left hook, or that's what it may have appeared as, as first. His agility in close combat, already somewhat formidable, had increased further. Ross halted his left fist and dug his right foot into the ground, once again pushing the ground beneath Bruce towards his right foot, which was now flying at him from below.
