The Antari's power is beyond what Matthias has seen. He seems able to master light and dark, and the earth. Grisha's powers usually focus in one area, one element.
Matthias thinks the Antari himself is a perfect distraction, and he murmurs, "I'll come from behind." Hoping the shadows don't extend endlessly, he slips deeper into them, away from the Antari, and, he hopes, out of sight of the man the Antari is fighting. The Antari has created his own shadowy zone, Matthias realizes as he slips back into twilight. It's still dark, but the street lights and the moon are enough to see by. He skirts the edge of the impromptu battlezone, dodging a few rocks that fly past him when he gets too close.
He can just see movement, and when he sees an opening, he takes it, tackling the man from behind and slamming him to the ground.
