Ryu would see that something was happening, and he would take the initiative and back away from the beast. He would see them start to... Change?! No, the chains broke off... They grew stronger?! Ryu would go wide eyed, before gritting his teeth. He needed more power it seems. He would see them come at him with a powerful attack, and immediately Ryu would shout, "HUAAA!!!", as he sent his weapon back at the hammer to clash against it. As he did, his body released a great deal of Darkness, the darkness that was within his heart. Ryu would be sent flying backwards, but was able to maintain himself from being able to cancel out most of the power behind the monsters attack. Ryu would grunt, and let out a groan, his body was struggling. He was in Dark Mode, which he hadn't activated on purpose, he just felt a need for power, and it just sort of happened. Although, this didn't stop Ryu from regaining his balance, and glaring at the monster. May as well use this power...

The Iron Imprisoner would feel its hammer being clashed with Ryu's weapon. The Unversed had been sent back only slightly, as it'd crash its gibbet into the ground and would slow itself down from tumbling backwards. It'd now raise itself once more, before beginning to violently spin its hammer around and aiming to emit fire in order to produce burn damage. The Iron Imprisoner was much more stronger in this state, although its attacks were getting rather repetitive, it simply wanted to destroy Ryu.

Fuck I forgot to say it's just strength

Ryu would watch as the monster was coming at him again, and he waited... He gritted his teeth to bare with this feeling he had, is this what darkness felt like? It was new for him, and so sudden, he had unleashed it on accident after all. Still, he was intending to use it, so he waited for the right moment... And it came. As soon as the creature went to slam its weapon down, Ryu would right away dash off to the left, evading the attack. He would right away redirect himself towards the creature, pouncing at it and striking at them hard, seemingly slashing through them as he ended up to there right. As he was falling towards the ground, he would aim his hand back at the creature, and aimed to inflict slowness on them by releasing some slow magic onto them. He would slide across the ground a few feet after all these actions, panting as he thought, {"This power is getting to me, I cant mess around here. I need to end this fast."}, he would then assume his stance, getting ready for whatever was next...

The Iron Imprisoner would raise its gibbet once more as Ryu would come in with the attack, aiming to defend itself with some form shield from its bottom half as it'd then let out a slight rattling noise from being struck so hard. Now, the Iron Imprisoner got hit with something- Slowness. It'd begin to radiate a darkness from its being, looking straight at Ryu once more and then beginning to swing its hammer left and right, and then swinging it around faster, and faster- and faster! The hammer would begin to be set ablaze as the Iron Imprisoner would begin to swing it around as the fire began to grow in size, and pretty soon, it'd be swinging the hammer right towards Ryu, albeit still under some effect of the slowed down magic!

Ryu would see that the monster was beginning to build up momentum in themselves, swinging there weapon over and over and over again. Ryu would simply raise an eyebrow, thinking to himself, {"Does that thing honestly think it can hit me with something I can see coming?"}, they were making there intention very obvious. So, Ryu would take that to his advantage, he would act ahead of time, and already started to run. He ran right as they raised the weapon up, and then went on to slam it down. Perhaps if Ryu had no used his slowness, this wouldve been harder to see, whatever the case, he would manage to avoid getting struck by the giant monster, although the fiery aftermath managed to get to him. Ryu would end up getting somewhat burnt on the back, his clothing taking a lot of the blazing power as well. Despite his skin becoming burnt, Ryu was not gonna just sit around. Ryu would right away aim out his hand at the creature whenever he could, and released a bolt of light at the creature quickly. After that, he would take out a potion, and swigged it down...

The Iron Imprisoner saw that it's attack didn't hit, and would look at Ryu once more, adjusting itself before seeing that lightning had struck down on it, but would activate a thin barrier in order to save itself a slight bit. But Ryu would see that the monster was beginning to get tired, due to its movements beginning to slow down slightly. It would glare at the man as it'd eventually pick up its hammer once more, and then began to spin around, before eventually throwing the hammer right at Ryu!

Ryu would see the monster was beginning to slow down, he had already been damaging it for a while, so it does make sense, although that didnt mean it was done yet. The monster was clearly not done till it was 100% taken out. Ryu would watch as it started to spin around, getting faster and faster and faster. He was expecting some sort of attack, however was not expecting the creature to just, up and toss its whole weapon his way! But that was fine, Ryu had an idea. Ryu would dash towards the right as the hammer came his way, going around it so to speak. He was gonna try to redirect it, but felt like that would be wasted effort, may as well attack himself. Ryu kept charging at the giant monster, before shouting, "EAT THIS!!", as he went on to ram directly into the creature, all the while exploding with pure thunder magic. Aka, lots of lightning around his body sparked and would strike at the monster in rapid succession if Ryu were to succeed.

Its mainly magical damage so to speak

The monster yelled out in pain as its hammer disappeared, now crashing onto the ground and... Well, not disappearing. Instead, a corridor of darkness had appeared behind it, and would suck it in. The Iron Imprisoner was gone, for now, and would come back later to have its revenge. But it seemed as if Ryu had driven it back for the time being.
Richard
Ryu would land on the ground with a great deal of darkness surrounding him, watching as the creature seemed to... Be taken away? Ryu would grit his teeth, before getting to his feet. He would force his power back into his heart, making sure it was contained. He would then looked down at himself, feeling like he was still struggling even after the battle was over. That darkness, it was really taking a toll on him. Had he not had a way to output his power, something to attack, he may not have remained himself. He would walk off, now tired from taking on such a tough foe...
