The Game Of Spear Mastery Is Momentum.

Her body had leaned forward during her thrust so the force of the hit to her stomach lifted her 5 meters above the fighting ring. Soverick had stolen the accumulated momentum of her attack and transferred it to her through her belly. If she couldn't use her momentum well, he might as well use it for her.

Such was the hit that she almost blacked out, but she didn't neither did she see what Soverick did next. Her mind was still trying to process how and why her stomach was damaged so much. She was falling and she was disoriented. She lacked one with the spear that will let her figure out how to right herself.

So she was unaware of what was coming for her. Even if she did, she wouldn't be able to do anything about it but shout in fright. Soverick placed his spear in a vertical position just beneath where he predicted she would fall.
