You're extremely quick on the draw with your katana, surprising even yourself. Is it adrenaline? Instinct?
<span class="mu-i">THONK-KRRK</span>
You manage to put your sword between you and the strike, and block it, but your knees half-buckle under the weight of the powerful blow, and you widen your stance to push up and get the pipe away. Just a bit of splintering and strain on the wood.
<span class="mu-r"><span class="mu-i">"SHREEEYUUUAAAAHHH-HAAGHH"</span></span>
Rebuffed, <span class="mu-r"><span class="mu-s">Dead Heart</span></span> grasps the kiseru with both hands now, bringing it down again, harder.
<span class="mu-i">THONK-KRRRRKK</span>
More weight, more pressure bearing down as you. You spread your hands on the katana to either side of where the pipe has impacted it, holding it up like a staff instead of a sword to better fend off the creature's unbearable strength. But then it arches it's deformed, extended torso backwards just enough to let up, while you are using all your power to hold firm - the sudden shift catches you off guard, and the ghost punishes your opening by letting go of the pipe with its left hand and arcing it around and under your block to strike your undefended midsection.
You stagger back a couple of steps, winded by the thrust into your sternum.
<span class="mu-s">You suffer three quarters of a Heart of damage from the strike, leaving one Heart remaining.</span>
