[He sees that ghost hop into the claymore. It's going to make things a lot more interesting, dodging it and seeing how it arcs in the air to come back around and beeline towards him. He has to dodge that too, noting how Kaveh's eyes have blackened now that the ghosts aren't hiding how much control they have over his body. Things aren't looking too good, but Childe grins despite the circumstances, because he's got a trick up his sleeve that barely anyone knows about.]

Why, thank you. Good to know that you're able to give credit where credit is due.

[He accepts the compliment as the claymore finally spins and slams into his blades, his muscles flexing hard as he tries to keep it from breaking his block and cutting him in half. But perhaps the ghosts knew he'd be able to take it, since they wouldn't risk killing him if they want his body to control.

And he's going to use that to his advantage.]

But you've sorely underestimated me. I'm far more than just a swordsman.

[As he fights, he's going to make sure he's getting right up in Kaveh's face, looking for the perfect opportunity for a final strike, one that he's sure is going to end this fight.]
