Being as desoriented as he was, Caius was in no position to dodge Akira's attack, and recieved the full blow, knocking him down. Getting back up to a kneeling position, Caius grunted as blood dribbled to the ground. Feeling his wounded, Caius felt that his nose was broken and the skin above his right eye torn. Getting back up, he stared cold murder at Akira as a white sheen and sparks momentarily surounded him, bestowing himself with the Body and Soul spell, increasing his strength, magical prowess, speed and granting him regenerative capabilities. Grabbing hold of his sword again, he forcefully yanked out of the ground, lifting it slabs of tile as he did. With his increased speed, the slammed into the tiles with his sword before they fell back to the ground, sending them caneering to Akira istead.
