>>5746570“Dammit!” you snarl, clenching your fists and drawing your aura in. Condensing your blazing emerald light into your hardened Energy Body. But as you do the giant sword swings back again, this time from your left. However, you don't have the means to stop it in time, instead relying on your Energy Body to absorb the worst of the impact. The heavy sword smashes into your right side below your elbow, smashing into your lowest ribs. Fortunately your Energy Body absorbs the blow, keeping your bones from cracking, but the hit still takes you from your feet! He launches you towards the altar, your Energy Body burning from the flames washing over you. But it saves you from what could be serious burns, injuries that would be seriously debilitating. You then slam back-first into the altar, the dark crystals cracking and shattering from the impact. “GUUH!”
You fall down to the ground, landing on all fours as the man rushes over, clearly planning to end this. Thinking that his attack would have broken you. But as he runs in, raising the weapon overhead in both hands, you spring into action. Exploding off the ground, you drive your right fist square into the man's masked face with enough force to send him flying. However, despite the spray of red mist-like energy, he doesn't stop, continuing to swing the heavy blade down. With only a moment to act you raise your left, slamming your left forearm into both of his wrists. You stop the blow, keeping his arms from dropping and swinging the massive sword all the way down. Then, once the sword's drop is stopped, you swing your left out to your side, knocking his giant blade aside. The man staggers back a step from you, the heated blade striking the crystal ground.
“GRRRAAAAAAAA!!” you roar, driving your right elbow square into the masked warrior's face. The heavy blow staggers him, you taking the opening and rushing in. With another war cry you unload a dozen heavy blows, each snapping the man's upper body left and right before following it up with a spinning left roundhouse. Your heel crashes into the man's head, finally knocking him down to the ground. That red energy shrouding his body is sent from him like a splatter of blood with each impact, yet to your surprise he simply rises up once more, seemingly completely uninjured. He turns back to face you, pulling the shield back off his back, holding the small triangle-ish shield forward. But then he does something unusual. He drops his arm down to his side, then starts bringing it back up, dropping and raising it at rapid speed. As if trying to show off how quickly he can defend himself, or something. The hell is wrong this guy?
