Artorias Erobern VS Ibiki Suika [Platinum Heart Event]

Ohohoho~

Things were certainly starting to get a bit interesting as these two opponents started to exchange words with one another. The Lil' Oni's opponent seemed to have taken great offense to his new nickname. It seemed he clearly didn't like being referred to as a piece of clankly metal. With al lthe comical gestures he made, The Suika Child couldn't help but let off a small laugh in return before taking a huge chug of her booze to clear her throat from seeing such a sight. Oh Well~! Just who was Ibiki one to give names to those who clearly didn't desire them? If he didn't like that alias, she'd surely bestow upon him a new one! So, with a snicker, she echoed out her new title for the male:

"Ooooooo, is that so? I guess I'll call you Armor-Chan~ =w="

Then, as Ibiki observed him taking a rather huge gulp of the booze she offered him, at least she could tell that the male wasn't boring. If nothing else, The Demon could now begin to feel his energy pumping up a bit. His vitality would be boosted, speed enhanced, powers augmented by two times and overall he'd feel a sense of empowerment and new willpower coursing through his metaphysical veins. What The Menacing Devil Girl actually did was give her opponent a buff to better allow him to tap further into his powers to give a good show and fight. And, as far as mental aspects go, a sharper and quicker mind was going to be needed to deal with a nimble and fast foe like Miss Suika!

"Oh maybe just Balls, as it is clear you have enough of them to drink my booze. I'm happy you did!"

Ibiki would then let off a massive grin across her face as she was very pleased with his decision. She always loved it when a person partook in her booze because it was, in essence, a reflection of her spirit. And if her spirit was too rotten to drink, then there was obvious adjustments she needed to make in herself to better produce a sweet, rich and tasteful liquor to guzzle down. As at the end of the day -- Ibiki just wanted people to liker her booze and have a merry time with her!

BUT ALAS, ENOUGH ABOUT THAT! There were more improtant things on the horzion to worry about. They were in the middle of a battle for what was essentially The Holy Grail. Such unimportant matters could stand to wait by the wayside until after the match was settled. Many other foes were advancing in their brawls and Ibiki wanted to quickly join their ranks if possible.

Henceforth, for these reasons and more is why The Zaraki Captain starting to become more focused on doing battle. Of course, however, the true and ultimate intent on getting a good fight out of this. So, slowly, but surely, the words of Th Demonic Foe started to drown out and her focus became intent on getting to the fun part of this match-up. She needed some action and this demon was going to provide some. If he couldn't? Well, he'd just have to take the brunt of her oni wrath and call it a day.

"You'll receive no more metal jokes once you actually peek my interest, Ballsy-Kun~!"

Ding-ding-ding!

The match started in a flash. With no more words or filler, The Menacing Devil Guy appeared within a flash before her tall and armored opponent. Judging by his size, Ibiki assumed she was going to have to stay close range and fast in order to make an impact on him. Therefore, The Oni Shinigami started circling around the opponent. Weaving in, weaving out. However, in between each weave, she struck fast and hard. Front torso, back torso, ribs, elbows, upper arms and shoulders were areas she targeted in order to take the wind out of his upper-offensive moves.

Should these even graze him, then the chances of The Erobern feeling pain and damage were more than real. Scratches, dents and holes in his armor could be induced from these fierce punches as her intense strength smashed against his body like a Mack Truck crushing a small sedan. In fact, with enough gutso, the male could even be sent hurdling backwards by around twenty feet or so from the shock wave associated with these strikes. If nothing else, it wouldn't be something easily absorbed or dodged.

In the mean time, Ibiki would emerge behind him one more time and begin thrusting a strong amount of spiritual energy and physical strength into her right elbow. Pressing on her right fist with her left hand, The Menacing Devil Girl let out a shout before diving straight in for a hellish elbow strike to the males spine to finish up her combo of attacks. This could produce a small explosion around a half city block range and induce noticeable damage to the male. Anything ranging from lowered speed, diminished durability or decreased stamina were possible from these attacks.

As, at the end of the day, it was meant to lower his health bit by bit and test the ground a bit to see what he would do. So, The Zaraki would be interested to see if he could keep up with this level of combat as she tried to restrain herself from using too much heavy strength. But she knew, at a vice captain level, he should be able to deal with a little bit of pain, no? So, she'd call out to him one last time with these words:

"So, Ballsy-Kun, are you sitll breathing? If so, let's kick this up a notch. I wanna see what your made of. =w="

And with that, the ball would be in The Erobern's court. What he decided to do with it -- would be up to him!
