To Say...
CLANG!
Ryu's knife clashed against Ariad's enormous metallic arm, his dragon soul flaring outward and giving him the strength of mountains. In that instant, the latter was sent flying like a speeding bullet, cutting through the skies and the wild friction of the air.
Ryu's figure flickered. His initial intention was to pursue, but he instead dodge out of the way of slicing wind, appearing to the back of Leolar the instant after the latter had attacked.
However, before Ryu could pierce his knife into Leolar's back, the latter's robes split and a long snaking tail threatened to pierce through his throat.
A wild grin manifested on Ryu's face, his second blade rising up in a reverse grip and parrying the piercing metallic tail to the side.
SHUU! SHUU! SHUU!
Ryu's arms became a blur, assaulting the joints of the tail. His eyes were like two blazing stars, able to see through everything.
