Once again, it boils down to simply being unable to hit the Drifter. Normally the Batter was not one to play fair in a fight. He had identified a few weaknesses within the other: without sight the Drifter could not block him unless they knew how to rely on their hearing for the duration and paralyzation would cripple their reliance on speed. While this was not a fight where someone would 'win', it still paid to know these things even if you had no plans on using them.
But at the same time the Batter was rapidly starting to learn some weaknesses of his own. Still, now was not the time to devote all his thoughts on it.
The Drifter was focusing on simply dodging his swings so he needed another plan. His strikes slow and he backs off for a moment, again trying to get the Drifter to come to him rather then the other way around. It's true the Batter is getting slower and it's likely he's not going to last much longer but that's not all he's planning. If the Drifter presses forward attacking, the purifier will wait until the last second to block...
with his bare hand. And no, he doesn't care if it catches the sharp end. It's a cheap trick but if a deliberate attempt to attempt to harm himself puts them off guard, he'll take it. Here we go.
