Dorian doesn't waste a second and rushes straight at Chris.
First, a knee drives into his stomach. Then an uppercut sends him flying into the air, a relentless combo meant only to force him away from Mia, just as Blake ordered.
He knows exactly how furious Blake gets whenever his armor gets dirty... let alone his hair.
The last thing Dorian wants is to earn his wrath.
The moment he sends Chris flying far enough away, he finally goes for the kill.
He thrusts straight for Chris's heart, but somehow Chris manages to knock the blade just far enough off course to make it miss.
Instead, the sword punches through one of his lungs. It isn't a fatal wound for a vampire, but the pain and the toll it takes on his body are overwhelming.
At the same time, Dorian drives his other sword toward Chris's head.
He barely manages to raise his forearm in time, using it as a shield to slow the strike.
Completely drained, the deep wounds in his chest and arm are healing painfully slowly.
