The Energy Gathers

Laz charged forward, swinging again. The giant backed up, waving it's hand over the chest gash and sealing it. Laz brought the sword down on the giant's shoulder, slicing in deep. The giant once again grunted but retreated, this time not stopping until it put some distance between itself and Laz. Laz figured out that the giant could not or would not use the stick on him directly, instead using the shockwaves to attack him or knock him off balance. In Laz's viewpoint, there must have been a reason for that but that fact didn't bother Laz too much.

Instead, Laz was more confused as to why the giant wasn't using the staff to block his sword. They were both enchanted weapons so they should have some sort of restraining effect on each other. Why not block with the stick as opposed to taking the wounds to his body?

Again, there must be a reason. And this was starting to worry Laz.
