He ducked under the scythe, the rush of wind over his head an uncomfortable indication of just how narrowly he managed it. Narrowly was all he needed. Why make excess movement?
He might have made a move to dodge the zaiphon, but that would leave it a clear path to Hinamori and the human they were protecting, and it didn't feel like she had a barrier up yet. Better to take the hit.
The zaiphon shattered the wing he used to block it, sending shards ice scattering into the air and smashing against the ground. The momentum sent him stumbling backward, and only many years of training allowed him to stay on his feet.
But even as off-balance as he was, he was able to fire off a cluster of icy stalagmites, surprisingly well-aimed toward Frau's midsection. And even as he did this, the broken wing regenerated, using the water particles in the surrounding air as fuel. The advantage of fighting on an island? He had a lot of water in resonable proximity for him to draw upon for his abilities.
