Litori tried to move closer to him now that she doesn't have to worry too much about the phantom weapons which means it is his turn to run and evade. He can't let her breach the distance between them to 100 meters or she will be able to attack him.
"This is a disgrace. I am the one-man army damn it." Salvin said through gritted teeth as he ran.
He discarded his pride and chose to run. It is disgraceful but it is better than losing to her. He hasn't lost yet so anything can change. The two of them are ranged fighters with pretty lethal weapons. Litori's spiritual attacks are just as dangerous as the phantom weapons that he uses.
He has a longer reach so he should be winning but Litori's specialty has made him lose focus. He has become ineffectual at what he is capable of. Now he is running away from Litori so that she won't finish him off. It is highly unlikely but the one-man army is being chased by a single person.
