Right after you're parrying an attack you press attack and do the second swing upwards right?

It's a downward slash, not upwards. But yeah, it's triggered by hitting the attack button right after the parry.

oh that's normal. It's a counter attack. If the enemy has 0 defend points and you parry their attack it'll trigger a counter parry which you can then follow up with a downwards slash.

After further experimentation on this... it's only possible on the final hit of the 3-hit combo, that thrust is the only one you can counter.
