[They come at him with the language only spoken in battle. Grimm adored it, the spectacle of violence and the risk of flirting with danger. There was something in battle that made his heart soar and kindled the flames of a God far older then anything in Hallownest save for the Radiance.
It was a wonderful experience. A beauty that was unparalleled.
But this...was not. He snaps back together, whole again and dodges the strikes rather then simply endure them as before. They are making progress in forcing Grimm to dodge rather then take the nail strikes as they come. He was build to endure until the time for the Ritual came.
His end would come from nothing less. But this world was not Hallownest and he was mortal when it counted here. And even within his breaking mind, Grimm was well aware of his limits.
Once again the darkness begins to seep out from its hiding spot, clawing at the Knight to grab hold and never let go. The darkness will hold them in place but as it is always is, being grabbed will cause no harm.
And if not, if they do not want to risk finding out what it does, Grimm is vulnerable.
A curious thought, to think that. The Knight knows Grimm's abilities. If he did not want to be pulled away from the past he could crush the Knight. Tear into them with the same ruthlessness of the Nightmare King and shove them out of his crumbling mind and leave Grimm to parish in the past he so missed.
He clearly has that power but has not used it to its full functionality.
