The swordsman takes a quick step back as she fires the grid at the creature, slamming against it as it attempts to swing downward at the girl. This results in it's arms being sent upward, the recoil being taken advantage of by the burning grid. Oddly, it passes through the samurai as if it weren't there to begin with. Damage has been visibly done, though.

The creature soon begins sprinting after her once more. This time, it dashes in a Zig-Zag pattern, aiming to throw off the girls focus. Not a word is uttered. 

After closing the distance, it strikes upward with its Katana-like blade, before slashing downward. To conclude the combo, it horizontally slashes at her, the blade flowing gracefully with serene poise. It seems like an experienced combatant.

```Action 1: Upper Slash, 61
Action 2: Quick Blitz, 63
Action 3: Horizontal Slash, 73 ```

Having a unsettling amount of fear wash over her she felt dread as it's movement surpassed her own. It's first upper slash bypasses her guard she was unable to react not expecting a creature to shrug off her laser grid so easily. 

It's unpredictable combo follwed by a devastating slash was so swift she couldn't follow it's movement. She recoiled as the feedback from the elegant slashes damage her outfit and thin cuts formed on her pale skin. 

A unsettling rage bellowed from her in pain, ```Some filthy creature a disgusting monster like you dare to raise your blade at me!!!! You will suffer you 

Her once calm collected self she now radiated a faint red darkess like a blood rose tiny wisp eroded off of her. The soundless battle billowed like a silent storm as she she coated her finger tips with her crimson lasers as if in a frenzy she slashed her hand towards the samurai as the claw shaped lazers buzzed at the samurai at the same or equal speed. 

Umbral however was severely injured bearing her limits.

Once more, the samurai is slashed by the claw of lasers. The verbal threats wash off the back of the Swordsman, clearly holding no value in what the girl has to say. Instead of attacking once more, it backs away with graceful steps. It sheathes its blade, before crouching down and resting its hand near the hilt. It seems to want to duel.

```Action 1: Duel Stance, 150```

*The samurai is taking a stance! You may either attack it while it is preparing, or match the stance with your own.
If you fully mitigate the stance, you will deal double it's initial damage back at it. If you fail, it will deal double the damage to you.

You may use multiple actions to mitigate.*
