Lloyd might have been caught off guard and at a disadvantage because of his handicap, but that doesn't mean this is over, Yuri. If there's one thing Kratos drilled him mercilessly on that doesn't rely on using mana, it's maintaining and keeping aware of his footing, and of things that would interfere with that. He sees the foot coming, and while he's too off balance to sidestep it, he's in a perfect position to flip over it - almost starting the opening steps of one of his Tempest techniques, but only at the last second reining in that instinct. It's just a normal flip, letting him land more securely on both feet.

But still down to just one sword. Damn it, damn it, damn it! He slashes at Yuri, trying to keep him back. Maybe if he can buy enough time to get his other sword. It doesn't look like it's going to land too far away. No way he'll be able to reach it before it falls, though. Not without turning his back on Yuri, and no way is he going to do that.
