'The exoskeleton looks pretty tough.... Can my dagger even damage it?'
Quite obviously, a dagger would have a shorter reach than a steel longsword Jin-Woo used before. So, if he wanted to cause a deep wound, he needed to strengthen his attacks.
Jin-Woo held the dagger in the reverse grip. He figured that it'd be easier to hurt the monster by holding the blade in this fashion.

'What is it trying to do?'

Jin-Woo sneaked a glance behind him.
