Diluc can easily put space between them, as Syrlya is preoccupied watching his shoulder to ensure he didn't actually strike too hard.
His gaze is pulled back to the claymore, which he... also sets alight, and now Syrlya has a conundrum. Diluc has far greater reach, which means he can reach Syrlya before Syrlya can even get in range to try landing a blow of his own. He all but has to flank his side.
So he pulls his blade back into a defensive position of his own, watching to see if Diluc will switch back to the offensive.]
