Thanks to Vier's intervention, the warrior's axe never reached Fleuri.  Unfortunately, this resulted in his fellow knight taking the blast, throwing him across the room.  Fleuri wasn't sure how injured Vier was- that explosion might have merely knocked the wind out of him, or it could have shattered every bone in his chest.

The Barukstaed man had avoided Fleuri's attack, but his sword was still close to his neck.  As he raised his axe, once again glowing in preparation for another explosion, it was immediately clear that Fleuri wouldn't have time for anything elaborate or risky.  Instead, the knight stepped back out of the range of the axe, sliding the blade of his greatsword against the man's neck as he withdrew.  He wouldn't have enough leverage to decapitate, but he hoped that there'd be at least sufficient force to inflict a fatal laceration.

Unless, of course, the Barukstaedian's neck was protected by mail (Between the tomb's lighting and his helmet, Fleuri couldn't quite discern whether it was), in which case, it would at most annoy him.
