>>6121723Before you can recover, Mira, having rolled to his feet and hands, explodes off the ground back at you. Striking you with a deliberate heavy left to your jaw, staggering you back. Mira then unloads, you getting your guard up as he tries only firing lefts at you. Which you stop with your own left, wondering why he hasn't thrown a right. Then it hits you. You didn't hurt him physically, you struck his PRIDE. A warrior with such a sizeable advantage was knocked down to his knees? He's furious, wanting to prove he's better with the 'same' limitation you're suffering through. You can use this.
“D-Dammit!” you snarl, giving ground as he presses the assault. Still blocking his strikes, you let them get closer and closer, as if your guard is weakening. As if his assault is truly too much for you to handle, that you're barely holding on. Seeing this Mira redoubles his efforts, doubling down and planting himself more left-forward, becoming less tempted to throw a right in frustration that he can't break your guard. He presses forward, more and more recklessly as he can just <span class="mu-i">taste</span> his vengeance, his pride thirsty for revenge. And then you see it, he draws his left back for a guard-breaking blow. Swinging forward at full power, and that's when you smirk.

“What?!” he exclaims, shocked but unable to recover as you slip past him seemingly effortlessly. His momentum carries him past you, but as you move behind him swing with everything you've got in your left. Driving your fist up into his left lower ribs, you feeling several crack from the impact. “Ghluck!?”
“HRRRAAAA!!” you roar, immediately going back in on the offensive with a spinning back roundhouse, right heel catching him square in the face as he staggers back, hands clutching to his sides in pain. Nowhere close to blocking, your heel smashing him square in the nose and knocking the Primal Demon right off his feet. “HAAAAAAA!!”
Your heavy kick sends Mira spinning through the air, landing flat on his back with a solid thud. Yet he doesn't stay down, rolling back up to his feet and immediately launching himself back at you.
