560 Handle

Eiro took on his proper combat stance, holding his dagger in one hand and leaving his other hand free, so that he could use the combination of the dagger combat style and the hand-to-hand combat styles that he had learned through the puppet.

He also of course quickly released all the things that he did in order to withstand that one attack from Tin, and instead moved everything around perfectly for a fight, concentrating his life force in a way that its shape itself seemed to imitate that of his muscles. Tin properly stood up and pressed the pillar, his weapon, into the ground with an annoyed expression.

"Alright, let's start." Once more, Tin rushed at Eiro, swinging his pillar at him once more. But this time, Eiro bent his body backward, letting the pillar pass by right above his head. The Demon quickly dropped himself down at the right moment, pressing his free palm onto the ground while kicking away at the pillar with both his feet.
