<div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/zgXX7ad.jpg)</div><br/><strong>Name</strong>Dagen Longfield  (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=292821.0)<br/><br/><strong>Time/ day</strong>Day two of the Games<br/><br/><strong>Tagging</strong>Rune, open<br/><br/><strong>Location </strong>Grand Arena<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Dagen entered the arena already geared for a fight. The usually flamboyant male had a fire in his eyes that would be intimidating for those who had never seen him fight. Today, Dagen meant business for the challenge. They had set the bar in the first round, and he was determined to do all he could to help keep Peryton there through any means. As the summoning circle activated, he requipped his sword and shield, choosing a balanced offense and defense until he knew more about his foe.<br/><br/>He put himself intentionally in the front line, between Rune and Melisa specifically, taking a familiar fighting stance with his twin at his back. The beast was incredible, and similar to beasts he had fought before for his past guilds. The eyes however gave him cause for concern. He had a feeling those eyes were going to cause problems for his guild if they opened. In a blink, the beast was upon them, and he threw up his shield to ward off the brunt of the blow, he slid back some, but not as far as the others who might have been caught unaware, and certainly not far back enough that the beast was out of danger.<br/><br/>you will not touch her!! Dagen roared in definance, and charged in with incredible speed of his own. He intercepted the beast, sliding into his reach and slamming his shield into the hip socket of the monster, then used the kinetic energy from the manuever to slash at its chest and ribs with the follow through. He stayed there, in the danger zone throwing blow after blow just to keep the beast unbalanced long enough for his team to recover and retaliate.<br/><br/>He was called The Thousand Blades by past guild mates and enemies alike. Now that the need was great, everyone could see why. He moved with a speed and accuracy that made it seem as if he were truly weilding one thousand different blades in a fight. Another point to that, was his ability to requip in the middle of combat and continue fighting. Here was one of those instances where between his sword arm carrying through a slash and his shield arm drawing back and locking his muscles for another strike. Sword Art: Requip! Fists of thunder and lightning! he roared, his shield and sword glowing brightly. As his shield arm passed through the magic circle, his shield disappeared, and his fist instead clenched a vicious looking punch dagger, a glowing lacrima shining right along the blade, the same happening to his sword arm. As the blade made impact, he used his Mana to active the enchantment within, unleashing a thunderous blast of concussive force slammed into the beast from the point of impact. Dagen hoped that it would be enough to at least buy his guild mates time to recover from the initial blow.
