With a nod, Oz acknowledged Alvios' plan. There was little time for talk but closing the gap would even their strengths at the least. The building anomaly in the sky was threatening. If it proved as bad as he was assuming he'd have to deal with it before it gave this assassin too much of an advantage. That would unfortunately leave Alvios to fend for himself for a moment under that circumstance. The shot arcing with electrical energy zipping down at Oz made him think twice. Sure he could try to block it like he did with most things but an attack charged with lightning was a finicky thing. That kind of energy moved on a molecular level so he had no idea how it would interact with his shield. It was best to avoid it and save testing that idea for a day where getting fried wouldn't guarantee death. Oz shifted his arms into an awkward stance as he ran. The split arrow was quick and difficult for him to dodge so he did the next best thing. He swung the flat of his palm against the air beside him. A wave of force mimicking his action hit him from the opposite side and sent him into a controlled tumble out of the shaft's way. He quickly rolled back to his feet and jumped into the air. Oz lifted his hands in mid-air, conjuring another wave of force below him to sail up to the archer on his perch in one quick action. Finally he flung his arms into the air and used that same projecting force to drive himself into the roof, feet first, where their enemy stood in an attempt to stomp him against it.
