They had the advantage for the moment, but given their target's both tenacity and foresight, he probably shouldn't be underestimated, even so to a seasoned swordmaster like Sordan, such opponents were still manageable, but it was few and far between skilled opponents such as this, and so he felt his blood pumping, this was someone worth killing.

Though it seems his opponent was not used to someone with skill, the wide swing he simply kept just a mere step away before he would close in with the axe. This swing was short, much shorter than what he'd been doing, and as his eyes aligned he saw the axe's vertical form align with his head. A horrible place to aim unless he was close enough, but he wasn't close enough to hit someone who could read it coming. Sordan simply tilted his head, avoiding the strike with minimal movement. It was expected he would continue off of it, likely swinging it to catch him, so Sordan wasted no time to use this opening he had slotted himself into. With him so close his blade would no longer simply graze like his previous attempts to ward off the axeman's swing, but it was a deep, fatal slash, swinging his Killing Edge up, an then back down so quickly it appeared like a single movement, forming an X across his opponent's massive form.
