The blade-wielder easily blocks the spell. For a moment the faceless warrior pauses, as if trying to decide whether to switch its target or not, and Dhaos uses this to get some distance between himself and his attacker.

He doesn't get far before another combatant - a mage this time - joins in with a fire spell of their own that connects with Dhaos' side. With the blond man thrown off-balance, the swordsman decides to ignore the swordmage and proceed to rush at his original target.
