====Hunting the Shield Nodes====

When Raboniel finds a node powering the [[Sibling]]'s defenses exposed to Stormlight, the Sibling asks for Kaladin's help, who finds Lezian and Raboniel waiting for him there.{{book ref|sa4|58}}{{book ref|sa4|59}} Lezian immediately engages him in a duel, dropping his first body as a husk and teleporting to get close. This time, he makes it much difficult for Kaladin to predict where he would materialize, but Kaladin still manages to use his powers and spear to immobilize both of Lezian's hands. In response to this, Lezian just drops his second body and teleports away, using its husk to trap Kaladin's spear and keep it away from him. he is able to capitalize on his close quarters fighting style, alongside Kaladin's relative inexperience with fighting an opponent like him, to pin him with a chokehold, and explains that even if Kaladin manages to beat him a second time, he would never stop coming for him, as the presense of the [[Everstorm]] means that the [[Fused]] are no longer bound to [[Braize]].{{book ref|sa4|59}} However, [[Syl]] distracts him by acting as a [[voidspren]], which allows Kaladin enough leeway to break free, leaving Lezian stuck to the floor with Adhesion, who promptly drops a third body and teleports away to reinfuse and resupply.{{book ref|sa4|59}} When Lezian returns to continue the duel, Kaladin quickly makes him drop two bodies by using full lashings to stick him to the floor, and then rolling away out of reach. However, Lezian notices that Kaladin is running low on [[stormlight]], and - using the husk of his second body as an impromptu floor - stops Kaladin from retrieving his stormlight from his full lashings.{{book ref|sa4|59}} Kaladin realizes that in this kind of one-on-one brawl, Lezian will always have the advantage, and simply turns around and starts running away. Lezian uses the respite to resupply from some of the voidlight that Raboniel is carrying with her, and gives chase. This time again, Kaladin is able to bait him into materializing and dropping several bodies quickly, and then, with the Sibling's help, is able to use Lezian's tendency to materialize behind him to trap his fourth and final body in a closed room.{{book ref|sa4|59}}

 

 

The Pursuer next shows up when the second-last node powering the [[Sibling]]'s shield is found, inside the well in the market. He is waiting for Kaladin, and ambushes him as soon as he shows up. He shows some curiosity towards how Kaladin recovered his access to [[Surges#Gravitation|Gravitation]], as the latter was using the modified fabrial glove to quickly traverse the [[Urithiru|Tower]].{{book ref|sa4|70}} He has to drop a body as a husk once, in using his powers to announce his powers and then to catch up to Kaladin. Though, in this fight, Lezian is taken a little off his game by the presence of said fabrial glove, as it affects the close quarters, grappling focused fighting style he prefers, and soon drops a second body as a husk. This time, instead of immediately and aggressively attacking Kaladin again, he keeps to his red ribbon-like spren form, just staying present and distracting him, keeping him away from the node.{{book ref|sa4|70}} Kaladin, however, is able to force him into materializing his third body by gunning towards the node. Lezian successfully grapples Kaladin into a chokehold (again), but Kaladin uses a previously hidden scalpel to cut his arms repeatedly. This forces Lezian to spend precious voidlight healing those cuts and wounds, and he has to drop his third body and retreat to resupply, before he loses the voidlight to do so.{{book ref|sa4|70}} By the time he returns, Kaladin has engaged with Leshwi in single combat, and Lezian has to respect her right to fight Kaladin over his own.{{book ref|sa4|70}}
