[Katsuki feels like his skull is being compressed - the shrill in his ears, the spike of his heartrate, and the grind of his teeth as he tries to fight back. He's encountered people like this before, he knows their type. The ones who can't fight in close quarters, or at all, tend to go for disabling effects like this. It really does fit the spider-like visage this girl's taken one - a paralyzing "bite", to subdue prey...keep them from fighting and potentially breaking free of the web. It's an effective strategy, and he has to admit she's got more oomph than most people of her ilk, but Katsuki is one tenacious guy. If he goes down, he usually goes down swinging.
And unlucky for Lucy that he tends to swing a lot.]
I'll decide that...for myself!
[With all his willpower struggling, the young Hero manages to twist his wrists just enough and aim a blast at one of Lucy's many legs. It's not incredibly powerful, but it's just enough to hopefully startle and trip her up enough to break her concentration on pinning him down with her mind. He only needs a second or two to get back on an even playing field.]
