Spensir takes the sword in two hands, holding it in a ready stance with the tip facing Sam. It crackles with electricity for a moment, sparks leaping to Spensir's arms as he begins pacing back and to the side of Sam. And then, a glint of metal around those arms...armor seems to unravel from the hilt of the blade, forming gauntlets and vambraces as it reaches out, unfolding into shape from within itself and covering the swordsman in a full suit of plate mail. The armor, though...it's seamless. There are no weaknesses at the joints like most armor has, no eye-slit for the visor, nothing of the sort.
Which, of course, means it's probably magical too. Great.
((Oh hey whats up Hakumen!))
"...Well fuck no way I'm getting around that armor, I have nothing that pierces."
Sam turned his stance around as needed so that he would face Spensir, "If I had attacked as he was getting it I probably could have cut him to ribbons but too late now... FUCK"
He hears a voice from above stating how they don't need to resort to violence. He mentally sighs, "Well I could ask him to join me but I wouldn't want to bring him into this hellish lifestyle... My options are either walk away or die at this point other than that and neither of those I like since walking away will probably just lead to a shock."
Sam remained resolute as he puzzled out in his head what he should do, showing no cracks to Spensir.
Unfortunately, doing nothing would also lead to a shock. Having observed that his opponent would make no move on his own, Spensir decided to start the show himself. With a little guidance from Mabarius, he swung the blade up and around, swinging in an uppercut at the air in front of him. As he did so, the blade lit with electricity, and a small arc of electricity cut through the air, aimed for the ground in front of Sam's feet. While the man was probably alert enough to know he didn't have to move, all the warning he'd get for the second part of the attack was a distortion in the air, a strange rippling haze quickly approaching before the shock wave blasted apart the area. Where there's lightning, there's thunder, after all. Whether his senses and reflexes would be good enough to avoid something the speed of sound was another question entirely.
