The Baka Iramasha Vs The Martial Arts Master! [Platinum Heart Tournament Arc]

If there was something Cirno did gain from her initial attack it was the fact that she understood Sagumi was a pretty fast individual. And after having deduced that, The Angel soon realized that she was going to have to be far more on point with her assaults than that. Thus, as their clash continued, the frigid fairy started feeling him out and getting a sense of what her opponent could do. From her perception, he seemed to be the type that was relatively flexible and nimble in his techniques. Judging from the way he guided her attack, Cirno understood that this was going to be more tricky than once anticipated and soon learned when to pull back after the next few assaults brought her not much success.

Hence, instead, The Angel of The Ice focused on seeing where her strike to the gut would go. As it turned out, the male was able to otherwise push away the attack, but it seemed to come at a price as she noticed a bruise forming on his forearm. Therefore, that's when a light ticked on in her head that perhaps she should continue to further harden her defenses. At the very least it would make it a more risky gamble to otherwise hit her. Therefore, Cirno decided to harden the ice around and within her body even more in order to give herself a better edge than before. Organs were reinforced, bones strengthened and skin as frigid as the depths of the antarctic; the frozen constructs of her winter armor were coming to the threshold at this point.

Should he come in for another assault at this point without proper precautions, then there would be a high chance of him suffering a much worse fate than a bruised forearm. The sheer cold from her body could very well induce frostbite, chilblains, frostnip and outright hypothermia with how harsh the temperatures dipped while within a range of one hundred fifty meters of The Iramasha. And, at the same time, the hardness of Cirno's body may very well force him to otherwise apply more enhanced means of combat. As, without it, the augmented durability The Angel attained from her ice could very continue to harm and injure his limbs each time he went in for a strike.

Ergo, as Sagumi maintained constant close-range contact with the frozen child, the further danger he placed himself in succumbing to the winter elements. That is why The Iramasha didn't seem to be in too much of a rush for him to leave her range at this point. It allowed her an opportunity to see what kind of foe she was up against along with adding in some additional damage. Which is why when Cirno's fist collided with Sagumi's foot there would yielded a decent chance of him straining it or injuring it in some way or another with the combination of these factors against Sagumi's favor.

Furthermore, since Cirno's senses were on edge, she kept notice of the details around the males body and noticed, prior to him kicking her, that he seemed to have a blue aura around him. Now, she was very well-versed in supernatural combat, and it didn't take a genius to figure out that whatever that light was -- it wasn't good. So, out of a counteractive response did The Angel of The Ice produce a makeshift barrier across her arm just strong enough to deflect the effects of Shuhaeru away from him. For, instead of hitting Cirno's skin did it come into contact with this dense shield produced by her energized constructs.

When the smoke cleared, The Angel Of The Ice never took her eyes off this opponent. From the way he maneuvered his body it was clear enough that he wasn't a mook to her. Judging by what she could sense, he was going to be a bit of trouble and she needed to proceed with caution. This fear was going to be what guided her instincts in this fight and help move her to victory if she could make it her weapon. Which is why she now understood that perhaps it was going to be a wise move to otherwise try and evade his kicks as much as possible. That blue aura devouring the male's feet gave her an ominous feeling and she didn't want to find out what it did.

And what was more disturbing is the fact she otherwise felt him channeling his energy into something around them. So, from her battle instinct, Cirno could tell he was setting something elaborate up. The question was: just what had he been planning? Well, she wasn't gonna figure out sitting around like a bump on a log. With a simple release of spiritual energy did she otherwise produce a destructive shock wave around an area comparable to three city blocks. In this eruption of power did she otherwise aim to obliterate every single structure until nothing was left and they were otherwise fighting in mid air. Hopefully, whatever she sensed would be destroyed in the process as well.

More importantly, this sudden explosion pressure and air formed a wall of energy that expanded and otherwise acted as a forced to repel and crush Sagumi's body. It could induce stress to his organs such as his lungs being breathless or outright crushed through swelling and bleeding of those blood vessels; while hollow organs of the gastrointestinal tract would be subjected to intense damage that could otherwise produce extreme pain for Sagumi that would be long-lasting. While the other primary injury would be to his ears as the over pressure could inflict injury upon him to temporarily lower or remove his hearing outright and take away his sense of balance. Something, which she noticed he seemed to use a lot against her earlier.

With that said, there would be a ton of projectiles from the rubble sent flying in the air from Cirno's attack as well. These were all moving at sub-sonic speeds and propelled objects could become embedded in Sagumi's body rather quickly. This may result in extensive blood lost within the bodies cavities and serve to further lower his health. While, the additional element of her ice also helped to accelerate the danger factor of these fast moving chunks of earth. Spreading for hundreds of meters all other, this entire area turned into a hellish zone ripe with the potential to skewer and maim her human foe. Lastly, through a final push back from the shock wave could he then suffer crushing injuries to his bones and organs and otherwise be sent hurdling like a rock to wherever he may fall.

And with all this taking place at the same time, there was a rather high chance his kick would have otherwise been negated or blocked by either the wall of shock waves occurring or through a means of random pieces of frozen debris abstracting his path. Thinking fast on her feet, she needed to figure out a way to turn this into her favor quick. Since he was relatively fast and able to counter her before, she may have to get big in return. And thus: that's the direction she'd go!

"Celestial Crusher: Heaven's Frozen Judgement!"

After a cluster of energy had been summoned, Cirno punched the frigid air around them and generated a curled fist that was comprised of dense ice. However -- it was massive. It expanded to roughly a city block by itself and came crushing down at Sagumi at a fast rate. Four of these would be made so that he was opposed from his top, bottom and sides. This tactic was done to otherwise make it extremely difficult for him to maneuver such vast objects and increase the odds of her making a hit.

With that said, should these make contact, each of these colossal pillars of ice and winter could serve to crush Sagumi under their devastating force. They also acted as an additional agent to bolster and enhance the effects of the cold aura around him and increase the odds of him succumbing to extreme-cold related injuries. And, lastly, their physical strength alone was enough to otherwise level everything within three hundred meters. So it is suffice to say he'd need to have something quite dangerous up his sleeve to otherwise counter their raw power.

Having played her card for now, she'd observe what he could do and remain in place as she hovered in the air and kept high-track of her surroundings. On guard and ready for anything, it didn't matter if he began attack or not when she said these final words to him:

"Alive, but in a deep coma. That is the state of that girl...."

Making sure these words were otherwise echoed throughout the field, Cirno projected her voice via her energy and hoped that he would somehow manage to hear her through all the destruction.

So -- the only thing to do now -- was to wait and see.
