“..You little kid.. smart move however you have one fatal flaw and that is!”
As she adjusted from surprise as her sword hit the shield and her foot stepped back she used the knock back to bent her body the whole way back landing on her hands in a bridge as the blade slid right over her nose as her foot kicked up aiming to land hard on the armpit directly under the foe’s swing her body arcing back as she danced back keeping close not really caring as the darkness came, she had only followed the movements, her foot going directly up missing the males chin but letting her land on the blade with her toes before flipping and landing in a crouch it was of course why she then in the flip as her arm was knocked away and she dismounted however she wasn’t done yet , as manslayers effect would kick in to the wound, causing blood to spray like the foe was anemic that cut basically had 2.5x the bleeding coming from it, and of course the pain was just that much more potent than the foe might have thought it was, and now she moved her own body back slightly sensing the seething black which blocked out all light, however you might understand that darkness didn’t bother her and she could still clearly see the foe.
"note, seeing is something different entirely then eyesight itself, by using her "Minds eye" and the information she had gathered in her working memory earlier, she had effectively "Reconstructed" , a exact replication of the field in her mind, using this and going off of both sound, air disturbance, vibration, and even slight changes in pressure or air current, and things like velocity touch shown to be in shadow blade art, and all her sword techniques, she accurately assessed and then cognatively found the position of the foe, note this is from her training in the arts, and honing of her practiced skills that has allowed this to happen, this is of course the explanation of how she found where she was going, in essence she is using a method a lot like a memory palace , but instead of the norm she is using it for locating and attacking.
So moving quickly she had brought her blade around, right as the words “Drip Of Acid Tooth” Came out of jin’s mouth well, she had her blade arcing up in a strike to the area of his previous wound this would be much faster than previous strikes though it was laido and this literally meant that the sword swing was akin to a teleporting blade, but there was something more than that as she had quickly picked up her discarded sheath with her free hand and brought it directly around smashing it towards the exposed side of the man, aiming to cause rather decent damage to the foe with this quick and crushing blow. However if that was it, well it would have been grand, but the fact was she wasn’t near done at the moment no instead she had decided to use something else bring her sheath around to her backside with a quick look over her shoulder she had brought her sheath directly back to basically collide with the sliding sword, the impacting forces leading to an explosion which hid her presence however as this explosion probably broke any lingering forces she was calm and taking in the entire area around her.
"Note the explosion of the acid sword caused her to be splashed with some acid, the general acid splash itself wasn't enough to cause pain, and quickly had been focused out of the situation, though it did serve to burn off some of her clothing.
You see she rather “Sensed” and saw sudden movement in her peripheral vision coming in low, which was why she quickly hopped into the air, a blade arcing just below her airborne feet, a spin coming next with what at least she could discern to be some form of a kick, which of course she responded in kind to by bringing her inner foot around to collide ankle to ankle as she spun around at the same time delivering a back-kick to the foe’s exposed chest as she had used this momentum probably if it hit, to break some ribs and bring her flipping to the side, and land on her feet. Another low whistle escaping from her lips, while of course she had cracked her neck , feeling the bruise on her ankle she made a “Tch sound, before she switched her game up entirely bringing her hand up and then gripping her blade slightly differently she grinned wildly and then switched the blade to a downward slant and looked up slowly the look in her eyes eventfully had changed too , which was why as she had gripped her hands tighter against the katana’s handle she looked up slowly and then seemed to give a small giggle out.
Next her feet and movement changed all that raw speed turning into direct combat as she lunged to pursue Jin’s frame, the katana’s blade just hovering over the ground seemed to come to life , slashing up in a feinting movement at speeds that made the blade as it reversed seem to literally fade as the true slash just poofed into reality almost like “HERE I AM BITCH” this slash was more of a lancing jab that was aimed to the left inner thigh however this wasn’t a full slash as the katana blade faded (Yet again) to appear quite literally at the direct opposite side of Jin’s body aiming for a gut-cut, however this action was repeated vanishing and reappearing at the middle of the body this unorthodox slash being unlike the other styles quite literally a pain in the A$$ to read for the fact that, well she went from a mili-second near-entry slash to a literally skewering jab to the abdomen just below the navel (aka the previous strike) the only problem being that this was a strike which quite literally vanished moments before impact, as she had using her arm speed and excellent timing skills laid waste to the torso, specifically through random hits targeting four major spots, the left pectoral right pectoral, the lower abdomen, and the sternum, literally a barrage of 20 or more lancing blows, a throw in mix of feints and real hits in the time interval of around 2 seconds at maximum. You see her strikes each had both the ferocity and strength of a battering ram, so these quick jabs had mainly two things going for them, no scratch that three things going for them. 1:Strength,2:speed 3: skill. And when you combine these things it is quite honestly a pain to deal with.
Next if this wasn’t bad enough well she did one more interesting thing, by moving her blade to the right after maneuvering from these slashes well, it would seem to be aiming for the right side of the face, to be specific for a temple blow, however this was a ruse, as at the last second both her body and her blade shifted, both protecting her body from reproach and delivering a lightning-quick feint/pommel blow to the trachea that would both be a pain to deal with, and at the same time would be quick and very accurate, and because of ratio to time of comprehension well, it was also a hard one to grasp the mechanics of it before it would be too late but it definitively was not impossible to do, just pretty hard to do. Anyways while this was going on this time she did use that pommel blow to go into an upward rising blow with the flat of the blade, as you see while the flat wouldn’t cut perhaps it would do more damage through basically blunt force trauma then the initial slash would, and besides that? It honestly was pretty damned funny to see someone actually get wacked by the back of the blade as they usually don’t expect it.
From there she went into a peculiar slash which seemed like a single hewn cut, however the interesting or peculiar thing about it was while one slash was slower it hit a second slash that was lightning fast arguably as fast or faster than Laido which gave the depth perception and illusion that it is one slash , the slower one of course, however slightly (2inches) below the initial slash inexplicably the anomaly of a second cut or the illusion of a “Displaced” cut would be present, so because this was directed at the sternum it would instead cut the upper abdominal muscles if succeeding in execution. Other than that strike though the reverse of it, a trilateral slash which struck at the left knee , and then followed through with two hidden strikes to both the groin and upper thigh muscle, seemed to follow the same peculiarity of the first change in style base slash. Although the swift follow-through by a half and half forward crescent and reverse arc, slash made the cuts unpredictable while though these landed interestingly enough on the left collar bone, arcing down to the right gut-line, again though this unpredictable tempo would probably make them harder to read, in general, and another thing was, her positioning to the general perimeter of the slashing made her body both counter-ready and well-guarded against reproach in general, due to the way she moved and her foot maneuvering.
Only after these slashes would she seem to using, a pretty little trick and illusion through patterns of light and shadow, kind of “Fade” from sight, when in fact she had been moving just a tad slower than her normal pace at the delivery of those attacks although still this was a formidable pace in speed, so even the slower pace was fast enough to keep up with the current speed in the foe’s quick movement techniques. Anyways this increase in speed in rapid-application would cause generally for the eye to tire and then have to refocus, allowing for the illusion of vanishing entirely, when in fact she just was moving Very quickly, while the tempo of her slashes had been thrown off again by her appearing at one side, to make a feinting slash, this movement being designed to draw the foe’s eyes to the first feint, while then momentarily bursting in speed, allowed her to slide to the opposing and hopefully un observed side at this point, to quickly deliver striking consecutive zigzag styled slashes to a hopefully unprotected side, yet the fact was, tempo was again nothing in these slashes, which was exactly why perhaps she seemed to slow down in the next slash however then speed it up and maneuver it to the left, just as she stamped her left foot down, giving the illusion that this slash would be fading generally as it was happening , basically normal sight would have trouble keeping up with it, however she hoped he wouldn’t have any trouble. It would be moments later although quicker than her normal response time that she would deliver a strike with the butt of her katana to the right side of the next, her foot slipping out to give both a general “Trip-up” or sweeping foot blow hopefully to unbalance a unwary foe at their heel, the right one presumably, even though the fact was this would go from outside sweep to inside sweep before impact and cause the “Trip-up” to be oriented from the left side of the foot, causing generally for the motion to become skewered just like with her tempo itself in general.
Presumably you would think that was it however, as the continuation resumed, her strike with the butt of her katana turned into a reserved and rather slow reverse arc to hopefully strike or seem to strike the lower right muscle in the back right below the shoulder line, however this would seem to again vanish entirely for a mere glimpse of the blade at the opposite side, and going this time in a shallow diagonal slash down the back from the right shoulder to the left butt-cheek, none the less meaning it was fairly diverse, and unorthodox in its execution, generally leading to the common illusion of a “Displaced blade” however this kind of slash was just using motion tricks and mimicry to get the job done.
All the while though she was prepared and hopeful for a counter of some kind, as while this “style” was unorthodox it was believe it or not special in the fact it worked better when on the defensive then it did when it is on the offensive, and thanks to that, while it seemed tricky now, a counter itself was the objective, in essence these tricky slashes had nothing but the a-typical spelling of “RUSE” on them, and this spelled out that basically while these attacks may be a handful to some, they believe it or not had the intention of drawing out some kind of counter or rather a returning blow if you will, as this style specifically excels at countering attacks in general.
So while the slashes continued her pace pretty much had changed again, going from those deceptive cuts to a short spurt in speed that allowed her to get four drastically different spots of contact hopefully in 4 consecutive and strangely enough very diverse slashes, as there was the horizontal straight cut to the chest, the overhead downward crescent to the rib-cage, and the rising diagonal straight to the other ribcage, and the cleaving overhead vertical down-straight going directly down the spine. Of course these slashes each with their timing and movements gave not only a wide “Sample” of her skills but rather also gave a deceptive frenzied look to her attacks, hopefully instilling the illusion of desperation, or over exertion when in fact these slashes where very basic in principle and execution. Just the altering in tempo pace position and style along with speed made them seem much more complex than what someone normally would perceive a basic slash to actually be. This by itself probably was a pretty substantial problem yet this was pretty much just the beginning because her slashes had another affect too.
So in essence basically the speed and change in her movement and slashes, would have moderate to severe varied effects on the terrain in general, causing as she moved for substantial pockets of loose/weak dirt soil, gravel you get the point, to generally occur, so while moving she had in quite literal essence generates loose tree’s and pit falls which around now from her movements and the battle thus far had begun to in short trigger and what this did of course was extended her shadows range, by adding deep pockets of generalized shadow in the ground, it not only probably gave her once more the upper hand but it as well quite literally, made this whole area a ticking mine-field for the opponent at large. More over though by setting the field up in this way, shadows swirling in the depths of basically holes in the ground , it allowed not only for the moment lapse in her shadows to be compensated , but it also very honestly just Greatly increased her plane of both combat and effectiveness. A double whammy if you will, treacherous footing, and extended range for her shadows, combined to give this effect. If you will it most certainly probably by now gave her some advantage but, also the fact that her muscles where built to endure, rather than to be extremely over the top, allowed it to be that, you could say she had gotten in the “Zone” those cold muscles having warmed up to optimal functioning temperatures , as before they had been severely well weighed down by the general cold climate. So you might say that the real battle itself was about to start in earnest at least right now, and everything else well was just a warm up.
By now she had been moving in for the next strike but the thing was, the next one had some changes in it, as instead of a direct slash it seemed at least to be more of a slapping motion then anything else, which could just as fast turn into an actual cutting strike when the need and time for it arose. So you could say mainly right now what she had been doing was trying to coax the foe into atleast a more offensive position, as her attacks all had the capacity to either evade or counter if needed, just due to how she executed and in generally functioned in combat , more than this though strictly speaking, she was also pretty good in energy reserves as the fact was she hadn’t really used a lot of energy in general , strictly speaking she had used very little energy, something that partially attributed to precisely why she still was rejuvenated and pretty much what you might call “Battle Ready” where as if she had used more well energy you could say that she would probably be in a less then well ideal situation, but as it was she still was good for a long time .
Briefly she had been debating the use of her umbra, a state that was pretty much meant to be her “Combat” State however, as things where arabella decided to hold off in her application of the higher state, to see what surprise might be in store for her, since she was interested in the fight in general, or rather she found it definitively to be both fun and entertaining, two things of course that gave this fight a kind of favoritism to it, she was enjoying herself to say the least, and to her well that really did matter in the scheme of things. Anyways though while she was moving around she also was slightly manipulating her own rate of speed, so that perception was marginally thrown off in direct ratio to what her foe may perceive and what was going on actually, however this was only a slight chance of that happening, as trained eyes probably had more of a chance to keep on task and not get overwhelmed, so more or less her movements themselves could end up straining someone eyes, or causing a general amount of problems, just because that was how it was centered to be.
So all in all while Arabella had begun moving differently it was not really a full out assault but rather this one, was more deceptive then it was overbearing and to the point, although it was tricky and by how she moved would be equally if not harder to deal with then anything she had thrown thus far, just from execution and the sudden switch up in styles to be perfectly honest in general, all these things would probably spell out a tricky situation no matter how you looked at it, and that’s just how she rolled , now then what would jin do to solve this predicament?

Artist: Breaking Benjamin - Song: I will not bow - Word Count: 2000
Jin listened to the woman's words, but he didn't pay any attention to it. He couldn't, he had to focus on her actions right now and her actions alone. If he listened to her words, if he let himself become ensnared in her words, he wouldn't be able to come out of it. He listened, and much like her, unbeknownst to him, he had mapped the area. He was a very intelligent man, he was able to remember the tiniest detail and he could use this to his advantage. The only problem was that Jin was a very visual person when it came to his counters, but he still had his sense of touch, sense of hearing, and his ability to sense spiritual pressure. He wasn't able to hit the woman with his attack, but he did manage to keep her away, and that gave him time to plot his next attack. However, as her foot came up, and connected with his arm pit, instead of risking injury by dodging, or resiting, he went with it, also flipping backwards increasing the distance between the two even greater.
He listened in to the area, he could tell that the woman was running toward him. She was close, and her reiatsu was also closing in. She was almost on him, and as she got within striking distance (having noted the length of her sword more times over than most people could count) Jin leaped back. He needed to keep the distance between the two of them while the darkness covered the area. This allowed him to dodge the next swing, although he didn't However, she had stopped when his acid sword reached her, and with a quick , and strong backwards strike, her sheath managed to deflect the acid sword, but not before the sword dripped onto her. Jin scoffed, his hand clutching his side; he was bleeding more than he had expected, probably due to her sword. But had it cut that deep? No, it wasn't a deep cut, but what else could it be other than an ability? Nothing, she didn't use any shadow arts, he would have seen it. There was no other possibility. And then she was on the move again toward the young looking shinigami.
She had managed to deflect his sword, his acid, and his kick, but luckily Jin was used to changing his momentum on the fly. Feeling her ankle hit his, he rolled away, managing to escape her attempt at a kick to his chest. Jin wasn't sure how much more he could take. The wound was starting to slow, but if he didn't manage to get her change soon, he was going to have to use bankai, and try to end this fight before then. As Jin stood, his body skidding backwards with sword in hand he could see the woman heading his way. The darkness was fading, and her physical frame was coming into sight. She had brought her sword around, but in an instant changed to try and once again cut him with a surprise attack. However, Jin had gotten so used to seeing her change attacks by this point that he almost assumes it. Bringing his blade across in a firm, but weak deflection attempt Jin knocked her blade away, quickly shunpoing back to clear the distance again. She was persistent. He was sure that she was getting frustrated with his shunpos, but with it being one of the only things working in his favor, he needed to exploit it.
Wait! He had made note that there was something else. Jin took in a deep breath, bringing his blade across the same cut she had made, reopening it with a little twist in it. Jin created a dog, but he didn't stop there. Shunpoing from one spot to another, making small cuts at random points on his body, Jin created four more dogs, finally stopping with one cut on either thigh, his side, and one across his chest and arm. These five dogs all lined up beside their master, and with a wild grin Jin winked at the woman. These five dogs ere going to help him keep her attacks one him a minimum. He needed time to plan his counter, and with her consistently pressuring him into dodging, or taking hits. Bringing his blade up, Jin brought it roughly around his chest to give him a greater, and wider range of blocking techniques. Then she was on him again, now taking her sword and trying to cut his left pectoral. Jin quickly shifted his weight and "punched" his blade with his left hand, pushing the blade quickly upward with a jolt of speed. He was able to see her, and seeing her was the biggest problem. He brought his blade down blocking the attack on his abdomen, and taking the time for her to change the slicing direction (albeit a little time) Jin leaped back while the first of five dogs came in taking the other attacks.
This was getting rather old, but Jin needed to keep up on it, and keep up on it he would. Watching the woman move toward him Jin shifted his head to the side to dodge the temple cut, and without a second guess, Jin dropped down into a sprinters stance, dodging the trachea attack. Then, shunpoing the moment he managed to get down into this stance allowed him the distance to avoid her next attack. Wait?! Was she just trying to hit him with the blunt end of her sword? No, no. It was fine that she was trying to cut him, but brain damage was going too far! That was it, he was done with this chick! And then like some sort of energy surge, Jin managed to stand, twirl his body, and face the woman. Before he could even make a retort, or express his anger toward her attempt at knocking him out, she was after him again. Jin waited, his four remaining dogs scurrying around the battlefield waiting to do nothing but protect their master. And one of them would need to do just that.
Having stood by the large tree, Jin directed with his hand movement for one of the dogs to run up from behind him. He needed to hurry as the woman was closing in. Ten feet, five feet, one foot....and in an instant Jin vanished backwards with another dog leaping toward the woman bringing it's jaws open to send a reiatsu blast toward her. This was cut short however with the barrage of attacks the woman had let loose. And because of the utter speed of the attacks Jin watched as each one connected with the dog as it started to turn into a pile of blood water. It almost seemed like this entire world, this fight was taking longer than it should have. Part of him felt like the days were merging, and the night was never ending. This was pounded into his head even more as the woman started making images of herself, they were moving, they were controlled, but there was something that she could never mimic. Her reiatsu. Her energy that she released was something that was unique to her, and not some clone. Jin had three dogs left, and still a lot of thinking to do.
He watched, waited, the illusions were coming, they were close. Closer, closer. Jin paused for a moment bringing his sword up and striking it with hers. She had her speed, and he has his shunpo. Vanishing and reappearing, Jin dodge, and then struck with his blade. His eyes watching her sword move. He wasn't going to get hit again her sword, not by a long shot....or maybe..hmmmm....perhaps A thought crossed his mind, his tongue coming out momentarily wetting his lips. He wasn't going fall for her tricks though. Finally bring his sword across to hers, he clashed once more and grinned as he watched the shimmering metal bounce off of one another. Jin bought himself enough time for one of his dogs to come to his side. They were all dancing around one another, her to him, him to her, and the dog waiting for it's chance. Then, as Jin watched the woman he brough his sword across to try and block her attack, but something was amiss. Perhaps the illusion really did mess with his eye, and there she was.
Grinning wildly Jin rolled to the side just as his dog leaped into the fray taking the blunt of the attack and allowing Jin to escape. Yet, despite his calm nature, prepared attitude, and devious mind, here she was once more trying to take him down. This time, quite literally. Jin watched as she got into such a stance that would allow her to sweep his feet out from under him. However this stance really gave away her motives, and with a sudden shift in his weight Jin hopped over her sweeping leg, and then leaping backwards to clear some distance between the two of them. He seriously needed to get on the offensive if he was going to do anything about this woman. But he had a plan ready, however it was going to take some time to prepare. Generating reiatsu in his left, and right hand; his plan was in motion.
Jin watched her slow, y he needed to gather more reitatsu if this was going to work. He watched her carefully, relying far less on his sight and more on finding her position through his other senses. He needed his three remaining dogs too, and with that they found his side with the woman dancing around him. Jin dodged back and forth, his hands still charging. No dog! And with that Jin shunpoed away as the dog popped up to take the blow. Two dogs remaining. Jin grinned as he watched the woman formulate, and with a sudden interest, Jin leaped into the air, using his ability to "fly" to dodge the first attack, while the dog took the second. Oh no, Jin was waiting for the right moment.In this time, he quickly muttered two sets of words. "Bind them within the holy symbol! Great Power, Form in my hand! Blow them away, and run them astray! As her blade came down to take the second to last dog out, Jin shunpoed down in front of the woman as her place started to rise.
Now Lunging himself forward, impaling his right side with her blade, Jin pointed his left hand at the woman and muttered a couple words as he spat blood out. "Bakudo 20 - Binding Cross". Using the this time that he was implaed, the woman would A be shocked, and B should have some trouble getting her sword from his corpse, leaving just enough time to completely paralyze the woman. And now, for the second attack, the reiatsu in his right hand. "Hadō 59 - Bakuhatsu-ha" Releasing the energy attack at point blank range, should this attack meet, the two of them would certainly be damaged to some greater extent. The attack itself was enough to drain him of reiatsu, but not completely. Jin still had a couple tricks up his sleeve.
