Fleuri's attack worked.  Nicomede's magic shattered the flask mid-flight, the liquid splashing on Jarde.  Damon moved to shield his exposed face from the water, and in doing so he let himself go from Jarde and opened himself up to a counterattack by the young knight.  The resulting blow did not appear serious, but the holy water covering the blade ensured it'd cause Damon more trouble than a normal stab wound.  Most importantly, the vampire was injured, distracted, and was no longer in a position to use Jarde as a human shield.  In other words, it was the optimal time to strike.

Nicomede was also charging, and was currently using his water sorcery to recover some of the holy water to form into a weapon.  Fleuri couldn't help but be impressed with the man's aggressive use of Mayonite magic; he had always sort of written it off as weak as an offensive weapon compared to the fire magic of the Reonites.  He wouldn't subscribe to that misconception anymore.

Fleuri raised his sword, careful as to not strike the tomb ceiling, and swung a diagonal downward blow aimed at Damon's neck, intent on ending this with a decapitating strike.  The knight would have preferred to strike the neck at a shallower angle, but with Nicomede and Jarde also attacking, there simply wasn't enough room to swing his claymore horizontally.  This time, he wasn't going to give Damon a chance to pull himself together.  If the attack was successful, he would use his remaining flask on the stump.
