Kurt was being forcefully pushed back by the shadow creature that had been taunting him. Beaten and bruised, Kurt was still trying to stand strong. He found a bit of time to take some of his healing paste.
Kurt was distracting his forces' main opponent to a minimum. Kurt wasn't exactly sure where their battle had ended up. Having to move with his water boots focusing on the attacking shadow creature.
The form of the creature could change at his will, sometimes more human, sometimes less so. Melting in and out of the shadows around him.
All he had was his sword, it was unlikely any of his water fists would have any more effect as they were variations of the same skill.
