*Kibaru would continue his draw forwards. Stepping forwards and putting his weight into it, ramming forwards with his entire body into Alloces in the proses, hilt leading the way, but at a lesser speed then what Kibaru would have like. If his draw was still halted, he would still continue to step into Alloces with his shoulder being next to hit Alloces*
Efrain
*Alloces blinked in mild surprise at this attempt to simply... Tackle him? He quickly sidestepped the rush? Charge? Attempt to ram him via Kiba projectile, using the momentum behind the rush to swing again with Zwei at the mark that he had left before on Kibaru's wrist.*
Sharon
*Kibaru however would continue on his path forwards. It would seem like he would tumble over forwards, but he would roll forwards once before finding his balance and turning around to face Alloces. And he would sheath what little there was of his weapon back. His mask would fall of to reveal blood coming from his mouth*
Efrain
*Alloces would turn to face Kibaru in turn, hopping back a step or so as he assumed another stance with both his swords, both of them set in front and closer to him. He renewed Psionic Speed on himself, glowing briefly. His swords would seem to converge on a point somewhere near the ground. He didn't advance, seeming to give the first move to Kibaru.*
Sharon
*Kibaru would remove his weapon from his side, hold in his sheath in his left hand as he grabbed an arrow from the quiver as he looked at Alloces. He stared at him, but for now he seemed to be back on defence again, still not wanting to attack as he studied Alloces movements while formulating a plan*
Efrain
*Alloces cleared his throat somewhat whilst Kibaru was still grabbing an arrow from the quiver, nodding towards his soldier summons. The one with the arabalest had his weapon trained on Kibaru, and he would be able to fire it off before Kibaru could get his bow, nock the arrow, and fire. In fact, those were his mental orders.*
Sharon
*Kibaru had no intention of doing so, but he did notice the soldier and irritation would be written on Kibaru's face. He then put the sheath between his lega before drawing his katana and dripping the sheath to the ground*
Efrain
*The soldier with the arbalest kept his weapon dutifully trained on Kibaru, finger hovering over the trigger. Alloces kept on waiting, noting the rather improvised weapon that he held with his wounded arm. As the wind rippled, it revealed an incredibly rusty and battered sort of cuirass that he had on. It did not look very combat-efficient at all.*
Sharon
*Kibaru's look of irritation would be shifting to anger. He would try to not look at the soldier, but it help little. He would hold his weapon upwards in front of him as she katana shook a bit*
Efrain
*Alloces continued to wait rather comfortably. He really didn't seem like he was in much of a hurry to begin the next round of the fight, stretching slightly as he yawned.*
Sharon
*And the weapon would shake a bit more as he looked at Alloces stretching. His tails would still before he softly said* "One"
Efrain
*Alloces would cock his head in slight confusion as he continued to wait, frowning at Kibaru.* "Yes, one is indeed a number and a word. Is there some significance to it?"
Sharon
"Two" *He said as his gazed shifted to the soldiers, and back to Alloces as he lowered a bit*
Efrain
*Alloces shrugged to himself, mentally checking his mana. He still had more than enough to get through a lot more turns of this. However, he decided to begin slowly walking forward. He would stop with about five meters between Kibaru and himself.*
"Are you going to fight, flee, or continue counting?"
Sharon
"Three" *He would whisper softly before closing his eyes and putting the arrow in the ground as he wrapped his injured hand around his katana, with his blade suddenly still as he breathed out. He now had a basic stack strategy*
Efrain
*Alloces would wait.*
Sharon
*He would then grip his sword tightly and walk towards Alloces until he was just in range. He then slashed horizontally at his waist, from left to right*
Efrain
*Alloces would step backwards with one of his feet, cementing his stance, before one of his blades shot up in a blurring arc of steel to grate against the Katana. It would enter into the line of attack at an angle, and his higher gen speed would enable him to interrupt the swing handily, coupled with his deflection mastery. Simultaneously, he would slash from below with his free sword, diagonally from right to left, with the intention to slash Kibaru from waist to shoulder.*
Sharon
*But Kibaru would try to block the attack using his katana. He would stare at Alloces in wait for his next atrack.*
Efrain
*Alloces frowned in displeasure at his strike being halted midway, although he did lacerate Kibaru quite a lot. He shifted himself slightly as he leaned into his original strike, pressing against his katana to prevent it from moving as he turned his free blade in his hand simultaneously to do a cut from left to right, diagonally.*
