You have likely sensed it too. If you wish to be involved, so be it. But i do not wish to see you fall here."[/color] That was all he had said ahead of time, plenty ahead of time before what came next. It was abnormal for him to say, and yet for Gudrun's sake he spoke like a proper husband in this instance. [quote][center][h1][color=crimson][b]"SIEGFRIEEEEEEEEEED!"[/b][/color][/h1][/center][/quote] That name. Ah. Indeed it was "that" man who had mistaken him for that "other" heroic spirit then. It made sense, the fire, the rage like that of a beast, that armor which was a Noble Phantasm, this particular tactic of attacking method. He had seen this ahead of time, looking a bit into the future between a combination of Revelation and his temporary Clairvoyance. He had seen the results of the battle between the Achaean and Japanese Prince as well and such things as what was to come for this battle. To Sigurd, a hero on par with King Arthur, it was of no consequence to battle this man. In fact, it was both a test and a battle, a setting of combat that would allow their mettle to be tested. His beloved sword, at least for now, was not necessary to use. Had he chosen to do so, this man would be dead in the air before he even hit the ground.

Runic Shield Created.[/i][/color][/center] A barrier, one that could block a high-ranking Noble Phantasm and fully defend against it, was deployed in an instant at the right moment. The right moment that the attack could not be diverted in time, and that the protection of this barrier would be up before any harm could come to he or Gudrun. Primarily the latter. Such was the nature of Sigurd's skill with runes. So as his opponent would make contact, he would never get through. It was a simple as that. [color=aquamarine]"You cannot discern that i am not actually 'that' man, hmm? Ah, but you likely do not care it would seem either way."[/color] And there was his lecture for the day. At least, to this man. [@Cu Chulainn][@Phonic]
