In this case, it implies that after Nemo stared at me and I got goosebumps (or whatever effect I felt), I immediately charge towards her and strike her in the face with my sword.

Okay, perhaps that's fair, like an addition:
~~ Before Aurelius could react, he lunged at Nemo and struck her with a powerful blow to the chest with the blade that Kelenor had once given him. The immense force behind the sword strike pierced her armor and dealt a devastating blow to the enemy's chest. 126/2
