Yes, he was in a bit of trouble. Not that he would admit it to anyone else. Because he didn't do things like that.
He sidestepped out of his own block; that extra bit of strength he usually had was even failing him now. Just a scrawny kid with a sword. That was essentially what he was at this point. If he'd stayed in the block, he would have toppled.
Weak, slow, injured, cold. No, he still couldn't get over that last one. What the hell was going on? Was there a Void nearby? If there was, he was going to gut the damn thing, powers or no. But he had to dispatch this creature first. If he couldn't overpower it, he'd just have to out-think it.
Which would have been easier without blood loss, but the situation was what it was.
Don't waste movement, look for an opening. Turning his back to get away would be more dangerous than fighting. Even without powers, he still had a weapon and he knew how to use it.
And he managed to lop one of the thing's hands off when it came for him, but the damn beast still kept coming. He really hated the Darkness monsters sometimes.
