There is only so long this can amuse him, and he's reached that limit as he bats away her truly disappointing attempt at offense.

He doesn't run. He flies, drawing his ax from within the well of his mana. He attacks with the staff side first, knocking her toward the wall, hard, and follows with the flat of it, pushing her up against it.

When they're close, he blasts out, with a surge of his not inconsiderable mana. At this range, it's likely to kill her provided she's human, and not monster. He's pleased.
