=The advantages of how the unnamed battles are mobility, fluidity, and using opponents' momentum against them. The art of fencing is no different against the strange style he utilizes, and jumping into the fray with assumptions on the brain will only result in dissatisfaction. If his stance is inviting, his movements are quite contrary. If the unnamed made a mistake, it was not in his calculations or his stance. To assume his defensive side can only be that is foolish and fatal.=
=The aim for his heart is simple to avoid. He merely leans back. With his left shoulder leading, his chest is not fully exposed. This is where things get interesting. The unnamed quickly whips the loose-hanging end of his whip forward to quickly change the direction momentum is heading. The result? The second strike to his head is aimed far too high as the unnamed 'ducks' below Corant in an odd, twisting motion. He's actually 'suspended' in midair for a moment, even as the third strike comes for where his shoulder once was. Watching all this, the unnamed whips his chain, once more, to intercept the charged blade. Is he foolish? No. He's already learned quite a bit from carefully observing and analyzing Corant.=
=Perhaps unbeknownst to Corant, electromagnetism runs through those chains. This is usually only released as light-based magic or 'expanded' into shields or barriers. It won't simply 'charge' through the chains and into Corant's being without very specific stimulus. The reason all this is important? The charged blade won't be slicing through the strange material of the chains anytime soon. If the unnamed had simply dodged the first and second strike, there would have been no damage by the third. Instead, the unnamed has decided not to remain still and actually test the worth of this Corant fellow.=
=The end result of the strange maneuver the unnamed pulled is a rapidly incoming chain to wrap the charged blade Corant carries. The aim is not to pull the blade away but to catch it and twist Corant into a mad spin. As the unnamed feels his feet solid against the ground, he pulls his chain to accomplish this. Of course, he has other plans if his chain did not indeed wrap the charged blade or if Corant let go to avoid this. In all things, the unnamed watches and maintains momentum once started.=

It would only take two simple moves to change control. The first of these two was known as a disengage. His blade dropped from it's renewed course at the unnamed's torso, who, to be under him had to be practically laying on the ground ("lunge" implying most of the jumping motion to be forward, not upwards, thus leaving little air between Corant and the ground, as is common in fencing-style), and twisted around the oncoming chain to get closer to the unnamed. His left hand, backwards, shot forwards to grab at the chain in a speed resembling that of lightning or something akin - nearly the full speed possible of living beings using a nervous system, if not even more so.
Corant did indeed know that there was something about the chain; that it was energized, but his suit was shielded as well as being protected form virtually all forms of electromagnetism.
As his feet hit the ground, he knew his newest strike at the unnamed would either hit or miss, but (presuming the chain was grabbed), he yanked on the chain to bring the unnamed close to him as his sword-arm drew back, spinning to his right, using the unnamed's momentum to his advantage, attempting to run the unnamed through.

=Fortunately for Corant, the electromagnetism isn't about to surge through the chains and into his body. This is the full spectrum of electromagnetism, not the limited range expressed in common thought which takes out computer systems. As Corant grabs hold of a few links of the loose end of the chain, the remaining links 'away' from the unnamed wrap that hand. As the unnamed was never laying on the ground, rather a quick twist suspended in midair, the plan behind grasping the chain wouldn't work too well.=
=With feet on the ground, even if not planted, Corant would find pulling the chain that much more difficult. For the unnamed, such an action presents the chance to use momentum. He loosens his knees to be propelled into a near-lunge towards Corant. Normally this would play into the opponent's hand, but the unnamed has his own unconventional way of doing things. As Corant now holds his charged blade in one hand and the loose-end of the chain which tightly wraps the left arm of the unnamed, there's a tactic very easy to pull off now.=
=The unnamed waits and watches for the exact moment Corant would thrust his sword forward. There will be a tell or multiple tells to give this action away. His two-toned eyes watch, and they seem to watch Corant's whole being.=

Corant Ja`Kalie yanked at the chain - his momentum helped there. His footing was not secure right now - that was the full intention. His arm would act more as a connector to his body than the driving force behind the summoning of the unnamed closer to him. He was still traveling backwards in relation to the unnamed, using his feet more as controlling his movement rather than stopping. But now, as he faced him, his suit and arm, now securely having the chain around his hand - that action only helping his cause rather than hurting it - he pulled harder, the total sum of his force being the better half of a metric ton trying to get the unnamed towards him.
His sword, on the other hand, was out-stretched in a stop-thrust, usually used against a charging opponent. It wavered only slightly, not in fear or lethargy, but in readiness and preparation.
Corant noted the fact that, should something give, he'd need to find his footing quickly, and prepared himself to do so, his legs tensing in preparation to stop suddenly.
