[Wow he didn't expect that to distract Syrlya enough for him to nail the guy with his sword. It would just be fantastic if Syrlya continued to stay still long enough for 9S to hit him!!
If Syrlya was expecting him to back off or deal with the phantasm, 9S does the complete opposite; now that his sword is back in hand, 9S steps in and thrusts the scabbard covered weapon up towards Syrlya where the solar plexus would be located on a human.
Its an attack that would leave him completely open to the phantasm should he miss, but 9S figures if the strike lands -- in his mind, there's no doubt -- then Syrlya would have to yield.]
