[Adrastos]

He didn't know where or why he was sent here. The humans of this time were more bizarre during his absence in the human world. Much to his dismay how they slowly grew to treasure small trinkets and idols. Spartans did no such thing. They held to no ideals that they felt were unnecessary, useless. They only had themselves, and their love for Greece. But more over than all of them, their love for Sparta. The world's greatest warriors were born there. No weakness, no fear, and the honor that they themselves have earned. For every victory was a victory for them, for their families, for Sparta. Deep within the bone made husk of a body resided that same spirit. Adrastos was a living legacy of the old ways of his beloved Sparta. Despite having been drowned in the mountains of souls that made up a Menos, he alone stood on top of them all.

The greatest warriors of all the world. Men above men. His service to his beloved Sparta was as great as his lust for combat. That love and strength was what bestowed upon him the form he possessed now. Yet, even he knew as big as he was that it wasn't the peak of his strength. There was much more to it than what he possessed now. Though, it is only now that he sees that the humans of today are soft, ill mannered..... weak. If only they had learned from their ancient past, the strength that they wielded then, quite possibly they could have developed more than what surrounds the Adjuchas now. The only joy that the great beast had at this time was the environment that he was summoned into. May it be against his will, the sensation that the arena brought was similar to that of the battles he had the privilege of fighting in.

Many of the humans appeared to be so insignificant. Parading in the stands to witness what the King of Beasts could manage in the arena. So many small lifeforms captured in the dark scarred socket of the Adjuchas. The bright light that took him faded away as it cast the beast into the arena against his will. The small life forms setting him into a familiar environment that suited his tastes, reminding the beast of the glory days of his past life. It may have been so long ago, but the burning passion continued on even brighter than ever. However, he only wished that the setting was a bit more elegant. Adrastos had fought on war torn fields before. The dead littering the floor beneath him. The sounds of Seagulls squalling as they complain to feed on more dead flesh. But this was a bit of an insult.

Adrastos had been transported into an arena of what appeared to hold the waste of humans. Trash and litter of scraps of metal and ruins covered nearly every inch of the grounds that the beast stood on. The scene angered the beast. And yet, incited the thrilling pleasure of wanting to test himself on such a plane. The two conflicted upon the arrival of the "other." A life sign in which Adrastos believed it to be reiatsu that emerged on the opposite end of the field. Unknown to the beast as to what or who the reiatsu belonged to, it never ceased to keep the the Tyrant lizard at bay.

Pulling his feet out from the heap of trash and metal, Adrastos sprawled forward. His heavy steps crushed the piles of junk beneath his strength and weight with no resistance. It was as if he were stepping on Ants. Although he was not as fast as many of the opponents he had faced in the past, there was still one characteristic that none of them could have ever matched.......

"RRRRRAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

And that was his strength.

[Yetsuna Yishnir]

With another flash of light Yetsuna found herself transported to a large junkyard. Debris was scatter around the battle field of various sizes, somethings as small as microwaves, others were literal trucks, and in the center of the area was a giant pile of trash, easily bigger then her several times over. "A fight without concerns for death huh?" she thought to herself before taking a deep swig of her beer, finishing it off and throwing the glass casually over her shoulder, "Sounds like it could be fun, a good chance to cut loose." She could sense her opponent was in the battlefield already as well, though it's reiatsu signature was fairly small compared to her own, or what she was even really used to dealing with.

For a moment she thought that the old man, or whoever the hell was in charge of this thing, managed to give her a bad match up and had paired her with someone she was going to crush easily, but she quickly caught herself. An opponents reiatsu signature, while helpful in generally determining how powerful an opponent was, wasn't exactly an overly reliable method; something more then a few broken ribs could attest to. "Time to get rolling," she said to herself, oddly excited to have a chance to fully cut loose. She took ahold of the blade on her back and began to draw it, but before she had finished the motion the blade had turned into a liquid metal and began crawling up her arm, as the rough outline of her first gauntlet began to form she slammed her knuckles together. The metal rapidly expanded to encompass her other arm and as she pulled her fists apart the metal solidified into her shikai; a set of spiked gauntlets.

While plain in appearance, her shikai gave her a great degree of battlefield control and utility, giving her an almost endless supply of tactical options to work with, but today she didn't wanna have to think hard about how to win, she just wanted to wail on something, and hopefully her opponent would give her the chance. As she finished unsealing her sword she heard a thunderous roar from nearby, probably her opponent, and probably a hollow based on the sound, it also helped not many creatures just let out random roars. With her opponent being a hollow this meant one of two things for her; either this was going to be a cake walk or this was going to be an absolute pain in the ass, and considering the fact the butler said to entertain she was willing to bet a whole lotta money on the latter.

She quickly generated a moderate layer of stone to cover her boots and gauntlets as a "just in case" type move she had learned to keep in her pocket to deal with unexpected issues. She also let our a huge burst of reiatsu, one that even the hollow would be able to sense unless it literally lacked the ability, as she converted her entire area of influence, a 50 foot radius sphere centered on her, into fortified stone. "Alrighty, all set. Let's go meet to soulless bastard." she remarked to herself as she began to casually stroll around the giant garbage pile to go meet the hollow. "You're taking this entire situation a bit too casually." Ishio rang out in her head with the hint of a dad tone in his voice, "Worry about it later. I wanna have some fun right now,"

{*Sigh* Why Not? Just had to.}

The immense spiritual fortitude was staggering over his own. The difference was clear as day and night. Much similar to those that he fought in the past. A wanderer who strove to survive each and every night, and a Shinigami that wielded a bizarre light that mimicked a dragon. Both were weaker than he was in terms of physical strength, yet had other potential means in doing harm onto the Beast King. This was what the beast felt when the foe released their power. It was very much like those of the past, which meant that some level of precaution had to be taken. However, that thought was forfeited over to the thrill of the fight. The pent up anxiousness that could only be brought up by a indecisive battle. His heart, if he had one, drummed the sounds of war.

It was a sensation that all Spartans, that all warriors knew of. The sheer excitement of what was to come, and what may happen. Both the fear and adrenaline pumping through his system made the beast all the more assertive in charging into the heat of what his foe was conjuring. The heaps of trash and scrap of metal were pulverized beneath his nails and bones as he neared the center. Adrastos was foolish not to take notice as to the different abilities that his adversary may have. Tossing caution to the wind, his bestial instincts took over, commanding his inner warrior to face whatever was going to be thrown at him. When it came to a battle between Hollows, the superior creature won. There was hardly a time to analyze the situation, or the determine the strength of the other beasts. It was only through their own efforts that they prevailed. Skill, power, and raw ability; these were the deciding factors in any battle scenario. Numbers, pft.... they meant nothing.

The storming thumps intensified as Adrastos' weight blended with that of his strength. Shattering the ground beneath him as the bone nails dug into the covered surface, propelling the Adjuchas forward at a much quicker pace. From Yetsuna's perspective, the center structure of metal suddenly erupted, spewing the remnants of the tower towards the Shinigami. From its destruction emerged the fifteen foot Tyrant Lizard, the King of Beasts. It's mask ripping itself apart from the lipless ridges to bare the dozens of sharpened fangs at the Shinigami. The tower itself was nothing more than a paperweight to the creature as he continued to charge towards the woman.

May it be metal or the fortified stone created by the Shinigami's ability, the Adjuchas' strength knew no equal. His talons punctured through the refined marble as he continued his charge, prying his talons open to reveal the shredded palm of his left hand, and stoic right. Adrastos continued to cry out, releasing from the black pit of his mouth the ear shrieking roar from deep within the throat at the Shinigami. Lesser beings would become easily frightened when faced with a beast that towered over them. A strength unparalleled and charging with unrelenting force, it was a tactic primarily to strike fear into his enemies before tearing them to pieces. Adrastos knew how to intimidate those around him, whether it be his size, characteristics, or raw power, he knew how to press himself onto others, nearly overwhelming all that he came towards.

Should the Shinigami remain in place, then the beast would have simply grasp the woman in his clutches, dragging her small body against the trash and floor. If successful, the shards of metal and hazardous materials would dig into her exposed areas of skin. If the woman were to create barriers, walls then the beast would simply tear through them with his brute strength. He was slow, much slower than that of the woman. Her speed was unknown to him, which was a fatal flaw. But none of that mattered. All that mattered was his strength. His spirit. It was unmatched by the wanderer's rage, through the Shinigami's pride. This was the strength of an ancient Spartan spirit; Axios.

[Yetsuna Yishnir]

OOC: No, Just.....no. XD

Yetsuna had barely begun to walk when a loud thumping caught her ear, followed by a faint, but growing, trembling in the ground; her opponent was a fairly large creature, and it was also beginning to charge towards her. "Seems like were just gonna jump right into then," she smiled to herself as the beast crashed through the mountain of trash sending it flying through the air before bearing its fangs at her. It was about three times hr own size and seemed to be modeled after some kind of T-rex, except it actually had usable arms, well, partially usable, it seemed a previous encounter had left one of his arms maimed. In an attempt to try and scare her the creature let out a loud roar, louder then the one from earlier, but the female shinigami just stood her ground with a blank expression.

Initial impressions of the beast were obvious strong, possibly fast, though if it was it was no speedster, and probably dumb based on the little show it was putting on. When it's howling finally died down sh'd finally speak up, "You done yet?" she'd ask, her tone reflecting her unimpressed nature, "What are you? Menos? Adjuchas?" she'd continue, though she had no real expectations of an answer from the thing. Already she was working on ways to take the beast down; assuming her assumptions were right she definitely wasn't gonna win a punching contest with the thing, but she could more then likely out maneuver it. It was also likely going to take a lot of punishment if it's size was any indication; chances were that she was gonna have to come at this fast and hard.

When the hollow attempted to make a grab for the she would simply shunpo away from its grasp, appearing a few tens of feet away, "C'mon, you aren't gonna catch a girl like me that easily," she'd taunt the beast playfully, before causing a large piece of stone to erupt out of the ground underneath the beast to strike it somewhere around the mid-chest region. Moving at 800 speed the stone was a fast attack, able to keep up with all but the most speedy of creatures, and striking with the same amount of force only the toughest opponents tended to be the ones to tank hits without being phased. Whether or not the stone hit Yetsuna would be able to gather valuable data, such as the beasts reaction time and speed, or it's ability to roll with a strong hit.

[Adrastos]

The beast thought as much. His much larger frame and build would be more difficult to maneuver against a smaller adversary. This was the issue when handling pure raw strength, it only made sense that his efforts against the Shini-.. Shinigami. Black garbs, and a Zanpakutou. The presence that the individual gave away was that of one of their kind. The despicable Shinigami that turned on him and his team. They who branded them traitors and sentenced them to death. His claws were empty. Adrastos didn't have time to catch what was to come in the result of him missing his target. The woman was standing before him before vanishing, leaving a small plume of dust and flicked metal behind. Shunpo. He once utilized such a step technique long ago when he served. No longer could he muster it as his overall nature had been malformed by the Hollow that he made a pact with.

A rise in reiatsu surged throughout the beast's senses. Alerting the old Spartan to what may be coming for him. Garret utilized the same tactics as this one did. Using the opportune to strike once Adrastos gave away his sights to that of his own blind side. Adrastos' large stature made it so turning would take too long to confront the threat. The Wanderer assaulted the beast continuously when his back was turned. Not again, not this time. Adrastos made certain that he wouldn't fall for the same vulnerabilities. For that reason, when hearing her words the Beast King braced himself, flexing his muscles. Each muscle crunched together as the body stiffened as his body came to grinding halt. With it, the rise of the stone pillars that came to strike his body's mid-section came to an immediate stop.

Stone and Earth attempted to penetrate the beast? What a foolish notion to believe that the very Earth itself could harm the Tyrant King. Many have tried better than to hurt the beast, and only few managed to accomplish the feat. But looking to Yetsuna, she still had a long way to go. What the Shinigami managed to accomplish was infuriate the Adjuchas. The sight of a Shinigami only inspired rage, regret, hatred, and sorrow. Memories of the past began to swell as his talons curled around the slab of stone that stuck itself against his mid-section. His comrades dying beside him without being offered a chance to reason, to explain, or to at least fight. An honor that warriors such as them at least deserved was lost. Stolen. Deprived from them and Adrastos. All gone because they were deemed dangerous to their so called "home."

In Sparta, such strength would be recognized. Such valor and dedication would be met with honor and a beautiful death. Yet they too were deprived of that. All of it was stolen from them. "...took..from...Adrastos... Stolenn... from Adrastos. Shinigami....THIEVES!" The Adjuchas cried out, tearing the pillar of stone from it's base connection to the ground. It's foundation stood no chance at keeping itself stilled as the beast's raw physical strength tore it away and tossed aside. What was suppose to be a symbol of service and strength became nothing more than disgust and hate. The Shinigami were nothing more than that. For them, there was no need for words. Human speech meant nothing more next to the waste that was around them both. He would not trade words for Shinigami filth such as this one. Talk was cheap.

The roar of the crowd felt nothing next to the intensity of the Hollow's cry. His sole crashed down into the stone marble that covered the ground, cracking it beneath his strength, digging in to what was to come next. Adrastos charged yet again. Every step tore the stone away from the ground as more holes were made for each contact made against the floor. In less than ten feet away the Adjuchas arms rose to slam both into the ground, forcing both his weight and strength into the desired direction. A thousand physical strength implemented into the stone straight ahead of him. The two working in combination created a large ripple, causing the ground beneath their feet to simulate an Earthquake. Immediately, the faults in the arena's ground surged forward as a ten foot wave moving as quick as the Adjuchas was of a 100 speed.

The coming wave wouldn't cross a great deal of distance as it's height quickly died away after 20 feet of distance. But the incoming wave was just the first effect of the monster's strength. The ground itself became easily unstable as his strength shattered the firm foundation, mashing it into chunks of rubble that were about the size of stool chairs. An eruption of trash, metal, and Earth came from the point of contact from where the beast stood, creating a heavy layer of dirt in the air around him. The beast withdrew, baring himself of what would come next from the Shinigami.

[Yetsuna Yishnir]

OOC: Sorry for the long wait, last like 2-3 weeks have been make or break career type deals so I've been busy.

Yetsuna watched as her stone rose out of the ground like an earthen volcano only to grind its tip into dust as it clashed against the hollows hide. Seemed like her hunch had been right again, the beast was a beefy one based on the fact it had only flexed to defend itself against her attack, and with no small amount of reaction time either, though whether it was a conscious action or a reflexive one was up for debate. Regardless this revelation made the battle more complicated for her; it seemed direct damage attacks like she just did went going to work, she was gonna have to be more clever about how she would attack the beast to deal damage so that he would be unable to defend himself like he just had. So much for just getting to use it as a punching bag.

There was a moment of stillness after the impact, after which the hollow began speaking, if it could really be called that, a better term might be half finished utterances completed with some kinda yell. The dirty blonde cocked her head to the side in slight confusion as it spoke having literally no idea what the beast was referring to. With the final roar the beast flexed once more, this time in an attempt to break the stone currently embedded in its chest, something which would have been a lot harder then the hollow had anticipated had Yetsuna not used her abilities to break the pillar. While a seemingly useless move to most people not in her mind, doing what she had allowed her to keep a small ace in the hole via the true durability of her stone, she didn't know how smart the beast was yet so keeping small pieces of info like that close to her chest could prove vital later in the fight.

With the stone pillar broken the hollow once more charged towards her with a surprising lack of speed, she waited while the beast closed the distance, watching it intently to see what its next move would be. About ten feet before she would be within striking distance of the beast it reared upward before slamming itself into the ground, causing it to shake violently and generating some kind of shock wave that also moved with a startling lack of speed. With a quick jump into the air the female shinigami dodged the shock wave entirely, observing it dissipate harmlessly a foot or so from where she had been standing a moment before. Beneath the scrap metal and trash the earth had fractured and broken in various spots around the beast, but any stone down farther then a foot would remain largely intact as Yetsuna's fortified earth refused to yield.

The shinigami remained suspended in the air, having formed a platform for her to stand on while she eyed the beast, "Thief? Me? I haven't stolen anything recently, besides even if I had, how would you know? Have you been stalking me you perverted creature?" she taunted initially acting incredulous before shifting her tone to a tease, "I guess I'll have to teach you not to spy on girls." When she finished speaking a large hole would suddenly open up under the hollow, easily more then wide enough to prevent it from falling by grabbing a ledge. There would be a brief instant where the beast could react and attempt to avoid the pit, but it was possible, and that was also why she had attacked like this. She gave no hit of her trap, no motion, no reiatsu, nothing for the beast to react to, so if it dodged it was purely by its own reflexive abilities, and by knowing that Yetsuna could start to develop a strategy to take the creature down.

[Adrastos]

OOC: Please do not forget to deduct reiatsu for any techniques or manipulations if there are any costs to them.

"RRAAAGGHH" Adrastos wasn't pleased with how things were going. The Shinigami managed to evade the shockwave that the beast had created. Both Earth and metal were broken, and grounded into dust beneath him. The soft terrain didn't do much for him but to help cushion his footing, but even that didn't last long as the ground tore open like a mouth looking to swallow him. Debris and other forms of trash fell into the hole with him. His talons reached out, but to no avail. The edges of the hole were not within his limited reach, posing an immediate issue for the beast to recovery, securing his own safety. Adrastos cried out in utter rage as his footing was lost. Fortunately for him, the hole itself was as deep as he would be led to believe. Due to the nature of the arena, space was limited, and so was the depth of the Earth beneath him.

The fall was short, only about ten feet or so more. That was the thing about fighting in fixed arenas, as the host set the matches so neither participant could escape. No matter which direction they turned towards, there will always be a dead end. When speaking about the depth of the floor to the barrier, the depth in total wouldn't completely submerge the Beast King. His natural height of fifteen feet completely over shot the interior of the hole. If anything, it would mostly comedic as his head would be the only segment of his body to be sticking out of that damned hole. He still maintained direct eye sight with that of the Shinigami woman that resided over the trash heap in front of him. Down below, the barrier burned the bone soles, forcing the beast into the air with it's 300 force. Enough force to propel the beast towards the ledge to climb. Sharp pains struck the beast's feet several times, but honestly child's play considering the amount of pain he had endured before these absurd matches.

A clever plan to begin with, but lacking a follow up meant an opportunity was wasted. Adrastos learned quite a bit of what this Shinigami could to, what she could utilize. From what the Shinigami had already displayed the use of, it was most likely revolving around the Earth Element. He wasn't certain as this remained only a theory. Even trapped within the body of a monster, there still resided some fragments of humanity left. If he could recall his past experiences, then the Shinigami would certainly be utilizing a Shikai; the Shinigami's releasing of their Zanpakutou. If this was indeed the case, then it would explain why the woman was without a sword, or it could be that she didn't have a need for one. Too many ideas would cloud the old Spartan's mind if he wallowed on it for too long. His focus had to remain more on the task at hand in facing the Shinigami thief. From that propulsion, Adrastos' talons found the ledge, pulling himself back onto stable ground. Just like his other fights, this was becoming more and more like a game of cat and mouse. He did not find this to be amusing one bit.

It was just as Adrastos had first thought of the Shinigami. Cowardice, and weak. All the Shinigami had to deal with him were just simple tricks, trash talk, and speed. Beyond them she was nothing that he did not deal with before. Others before her had more willingness to confront the beast. None dared to take him on without a form of tactic, but they did so knowing the fact that they would muster the same strength as he was capable of. No one as such as Garret. The Rogue was human, and puny. But, he was strong. A warrior that confronted Adrastos head to head. Despite being weaker than the King of Beasts, the man still rushed with the intensity that a true warrior were instilled with. Not this one. Not this cheap imitation of a fighter. If Garret were to be an animal, then he would be on par with thta of a Lion. This woman, this Shinigami would match that of a Rabbit. The Adjuchas was not impressed. "Fight like.. warrior... Fight like HOLLOW, RRRAAGGHHHHHH!"

This game of Cat and Mouse was beginning to get old. These matches were to be a test of strength, not escaping. Peeling his lipless mask apart the Adjuchas cried out in utter frustration. Each muscle bulked, hardening the shoulders and arms as they were both withdrawn into the core of the body. Adrastos had enough of such childish games as his head was lowered, entering a stance resembling a battering ram. It would be clear as to what his intentions were as the beast entered into another Bull charge. All that was needed for the beast was to bring the woman in close, within arms length to end this ridiculous match. That was all that was needed to do to win. But before that, the Adjuchas leaped into the air. Not a simple jump, as a simple jump would only take him from point A to point B. This leap wouldn't take him anywhere as his body would plummet into the trash beneath him. This itself would help to draw the woman into the position that was needed.

If nothing was done, then the Hollow would come into contact with the floor again, but this time with an impact matching his strength. If not impeded, the very foundation of the arena would shake. The creature's body making contact with the floor after a power jump into the air would cause the trash and bits of Earth to erupt into the air, engulfing the entirety of the battleground with heaps of scrap metal and thick layers of dust. The air itself would be too thick to use the naked eye to see through it all, as it now leave one to utilize their other senses to look beyond the haze of trash and dirt. One very possible for the King of Beasts to do without trouble. Adrastos had several advantages to this tactic. For one, his spiritual pressure was far beneath the regular norm that the woman would be use to fighting. Nearly faint as it was already, all Adrastos had to do was suppress his own for a limited time, in which this case he chose to do when he made contact with the ground once again.

The second advantage was the different in spiritual prowess. While Adrastos lacked in his spiritual capabilities, Yetsuna didn't. In fact, her release, her nature in of itself, prevented the reiatsu that seethed from her body from being concealed to any degree. And while both of their Energy Sensories were evenly matched, the Shinigami's spiritual pressure stood out like a sore thumb. It couldn't be controlled or hidden from his laughable Energy Sensory. This meant that she couldn't hide in the haze cloud that filled the arena's air. The beast advanced from the newly made crater. The explosion caused from the beast's fall would have surely deafen the both of the them for some moments. Not long to keep himself hidden forever, but enough to allow him to draw closer to that of the Shinigami's position. Though, there was more to the deafening sound. As the arena was closed off from the outside, it would keep the haze and sounds made strictly inside of the battleground. Which meant that no element was going to escape, and were to be amplified even more than usual. This made nearly the perfect cover for the King of Beasts to advance nearly unnoticed by usual means. If successful, then Adrastos would be able to reach Yetsuna without notice, at least until she would find herself in his mouth. No teeth involved, as only the muscles in his mouth would seek to crush the woman with the immense pressure of his strength.

[Yetsuna Yishnir]

The shinigami managed to glean a little more info out of her move then she had figured she would. The hollow indeed managed to perceive and react to her abilities once again despite her giving no indications of what she was doing, though his effort was fruitless as he fell towards the ground. The other piece of info she managed to gleam, albeit as seemingly useless as it was, was that the barrier of the arena only seemed to go about 10 feet down, a bit less then she had really expected. Regardless, she had managed to get the info that she had been looking for, so now it was time to start working on a strategy to take her opponent down. 

Despite its slow traveling speed the beast had managed to react to her attacks within a fairly short amount of time, even at point blank range, and with its ability to flex its muscles as a form of defense it would make actually trying to damage the hollow all the more difficult. In terms of raw strength she knew she couldn't match it blow for blow, more so considering its size and bulk were fair indicators that it could probably take a fair amount more punishment than she could. So far it hadn't shown many techniques, and based on what she had seen so far, she was willing to bet that should wouldn't have to worry about anything like a cero coming her way and any ranged moves coming her way were probably gonna have something to do with application of raw strength. She had a few ideas for thing she could do, but signs pointed to the fact this was probably gonna be a long ass match.

While she mused in her head about how to fight the beast managed to claw his way out of the hole she had made before growling something at her again, "Last I checked hollows are more monster then warrior," she replied, her tone dismissive, "besides, discretion is the better part of valor." Her her retort the beast would hunch over as he prepared to attack once more, initially looking like he was about to charge her again, but instead he jumped into the air and came crashing down with a loud boom. The landing was surprisingly loud, enough that when it reached her ears she heard a faint ringing, "Hmm, I'll have to keep an eye out in case he tries to do this again."

Overall the ringing was mostly just a minor inconvenience and wouldn't last very long, maybe a few seconds at the most, what she was more interested in was the metal and dust in the air. Immediately she knew what the creature was trying to do, so many people had tried this tactic on her for some reason even after she showed off her powers to them. The metal would fall to the ground rather quickly, being heavy it didn't get which distance off the ground and lacked the ability to remain suspended like dust did. The moment that the two fighters disappeared for each others view Yetsuna would turn his own move against him; she formed all of the dust in the air into jagged spikes, all pointed at the now exposed beast, regardless of where he was, "Seriously?" she'd ask the beast almost insulted, "Did you honestly think that would work?"

As she finished speaking the spikes, dozen upon dozens of them each carrying the full strength and speed of her spiritual pressure, launched towards the beast from every direction making physically dodging them impossible. From where she stood, or well floated, the beast had three options, it could continue its attack, assuming it had even started it yet, and risk taking a fair amount of damage, stop and use his flex defense, or do something she hadn't seen yet. In the event he tried to continue his attack, Yetsuna would simply jump back and out of range when the beast got close, if he flexed she'd simply wait until he attack finished before waiting to see what the beast would try to do next. 

Reiatsu: 7500/8000 (Cost from first post setup)

[Adrastos]

Seemed to what had occurred with the beast's little tactic backfired to some extent. The dust storm that was suppose to be his means of cover was altered. Changing in form and shape, the bits of dust and dirt was transformed into that of a legion of spikes. Spikes that remained a float for some time. A time that in which gave Adrastos a moment to think. Foolish for the Shinigami to do in this case. Adrastos was surrounded by the spikes in which were made of Earth. They were not under his control, which meant that the Shinigami had some hand in creating them. But for this much control and manipulation, he wondered as to how much energy that the woman had to use up to create all of them? If the Shinigami required a lot of reiatsu to create them, let alone controlling them, then her focus had to be immense, and strained. Never the less, the creature already knew what to do as he lowered himself into a crouched position. His eyes were keen on that of the spikes, reminding him of the onslaught of Persian arrows that filled the sky. And just like them, the spikes would do little to nothing against the steel like body that the Adjuchas' body turned into.

Covering himself beneath his arms, Adrastos' head took cover in the shelter of his body. The tail was brought around, keeping it close as the entire body shifted from a large target to a bit smaller one. Adrastos' heavy form acted out as a shield when flexing. Like the arrows that rained down on him before his death, the spikes came. Striking the beast's body with forceful spiked tips, they served to be nothing more than insect bites. Both annoying and tiresome. However, his flexing in this position made it more difficult to move. While like this, he could only serve to defend his body from oncoming fire from Yetsuna. The spikes grazed the beast's body, scratching it as series upon series struck the Adjuchas. Only in the gaps in between waves could the old Spartan see that the Shinigami held back a few more of her projectiles. Most likely waiting for him to move or to alter himself. Both were seemingly at a stalemate in some ways.

Only when the spikes ceased their assault did the beast rest his flexing muscles. Despite it being nearly invincible, he could only maintain it for a while. Better when immobile, and limited while moving. Adrastos was warring in a game of attrition. Yetsuna had range over the beast, while he had strength over her. The Shinigami possessed an overwhelming amount of reiatsu if she was able to continue this assault for long periods of time. And yet, with each wave of spikes being launched against flexing muscles, less and less there were. This meant that the girl would have to utilize more reiatsu in order to create more. More meant more mental focus, and just as Adrastos would eventually grow tired of flexing, so would Yetsuna's reiatsu pool, and that of her mentality. This was truly a war of attrition as one would tire out the other. The Lieutenant's use of reiatsu, and the growing soreness of Adrastos' muscles. Despite it all, Spartans were use to straining themselves, and Adrastos was no different. He once carried his shield to face the hordes of Persia's elites, and this Shinigami was all but one foe. She has yet to gone up against the hordes that Adastos had faced while alive, and in this form. Adrastos was at a small disadvantage, but not an unwinable one.

Just as he pushed against the shields of the Persian armies, Adrastos crept slowly, only moving inch by inch. The steel skin of his muscles only flexing when needed to. And with that of the Shinigami's inability to hide her reiatsu, with his own limited energy sensory, he knew where she was. As slow has he was, all he had to do was bide his time. "Shinigami........coward...!" He had to think of something, that was his primary thought. The scraps of metal shifted along with his sliding claws, taking in a single deep breath as it merged with his reiatsu. Together, the pool swarmed in the pit of the beast's gut. Adrastos was slow, but adaptable. What would come next would decide how their fight will advance into the next phase. All that he knew was that he had to be ready.

[Yetsuna Yishnir]

Once more the hollow managed to block her attack, but it was of little consequence, she still achieved her goal. Yetsuna's current strategy was just a wear down tactic, relentlessly poke at the beast until it either exhausted itself or just stopped being able to use its main defensive ability. While she couldn't gauge the rate of stamina drain on the hollow she knew that so far she was doing better then it, other then having dropped some reiatsu to turn the entire battlefield into her fortified stone she had spent nothing and other then that single "dodge" she had performed she had barely even moved a muscle. Even the level of usage of her powers was far from taxing in any form, so far she hadn't had to do anything split-second or overly complicated, granted her last trick was a little fancy, but she had done more farther into a harder battle and still kept going. (OOC Note: She's a Perma Release)

After the assault of her spikes had finished she waited for the beast to return to its full height for a moment, but it opted not to, instead deciding just to inch forward slowly like a slug, "Really?" she thought to herself in an exasperated tone. The beast grumbled something at her again, but this time she just brushed it off, fairly certain that the beast was stuck on "repeat" or something. She watch the beast for a fraction of a second, her mind mulling over moves at a speed most others would find dizzying; the beast was obviously in some kind of defensive posture and considering its ability to react to her abilities she had more or less given up hope on trying to get the drop on the beast, then an idea hit her, she could literally get the drop on the beast.

Yetsuna suddenly let out a burst of reiatsu, though when the beast sensed it he would have no way of knowing what it denoted other then something was about to happen. A brief moment after the reiatsu burst a large stone slab with long sharp spikes coming out of the bottom appeared in mid-air a short distance above the beast, low enough that the beast wouldn't be able to rise without hitting it, but that would matter little. No sooner had the slab been made material then it began to descend on the beast, dropping both with her offensive stat and its own massive weight behind it, needless to say, if the beast didn't flex it would hurt. But she was counting on the beast flexing, considering distance and proximity it would take a small miracle for the beast to get out from under the stone, so unless it did something new it had to flex or take damage, either way she was going to profit.

Reiatsu 7000/8000 -500 for slab creation.

[Adrastos]

A surge of reiatsu erupted from within the woman. An amount that could be said to be challenging for whatever it will call upon. There was no doubt that Adrastos wouldn't be able to outrun it. Their little fray here proved that the girl could run circles around him. Utilizing his lack of speed, the Shinigami continued to push the beast, poking him bit by bit. His strength was his best trait. The only trait that the girl didn't have over the beast as much of the woman's tactics were straight forward. Such lacking in planning did a great deal in difference when it came to fighting. Before, when facing Garret, the man learned from his mistakes, just as Adrastos learned from their fights. The scars across his body were testament to the man's efforts, despite being physically weaker than the Adjuchas. The two were different completely by leagues, which was why Adrastos was confident in his victory.

The battle of attrition continued as the beast knew it would. One would strive to tire out the other. That too was what the beast assumed the girl conjured when attacking the Hollow. As the explosion of reiatsu came to an erupt end, a shadow consumed the large beast's position. Just mere feet over his head appeared a stone slab. Series of spikes decorated the bottom section of the slab, resembling a sort of battering ram. Except, this one was about to be dropped over him. There was no choice in the matter as the beast's muscles hardened, becoming firm by each second as the spikes stabbed into the steel like texture of his flexed muscles. It was heavy. Very heavy. But it was nothing that the strength of the Hollow could handle. Flexing was only but a few moments until the beast's claws found their grip around the spikes.

He could still feel the spikes against his back even as his arms lift the heavy slab, shrugging it off to the side. The heavy material slid off but pushing it away with his arms. As to where he pushed the slab towards, he did so back to Yetsuna. The difference in strength between his physicality and that of her spiritual pressure was clearly visible. Being pushed by with 1000 strength, even commanding the stone to stop would take some effort. Though, he was already piecing together what this woman's abilities revolved around. Without a proper analysis skill, there will be some time before Adrastos could put the pieces in the right place. With Yetsuna's constant usage of her powers, it slowly came together. It had something to do with the stone? Possibly with the Earth element? Adrastos didn't know yet as there were still some things that needed to be looked over. But for now, he had something to go on. And something more to use against the woman. After all, they were in a junkyard. Metal and other materials that didn't comprise of the Earth element, or at least, weren't in their natural states. This was good.

It was more than likely that the Shinigami already had a counter in mind when the slab was push towards her. Easy to dodge and easy to see coming. That was the point. However, what came next was something that Adrastos sought to exploit all the more. As the slab was half way from the Hollow's body, he swiped his tail around. The large, thick muscle swiped around through the air. It's motion flowing fluidly through the air, pushing the air away from him. However, this very motion was just some ordinary push. With his level of physical strength came a concussive blast of air pressure; a shockwave. A torrent of air and wind blast pierced through the arena towards the direction of the Shinigami. This wave was only as fast as a Hollow's Cero, but possibly more dangerous than one. What was it powered by came from a monster who's strength was unrivaled. It carved through the arena towards Yetsuna. Undoubtedly, with the woman's visual sensory, a distorted wall of wind and air could be seen coming towards her. Slashing, pulling, and pushing all within the wall as the trash and heaps of metal and garbage in front of Yetsuna, and her slab, being torn apart as they were pushed away. This was antoher particular ability that Adrastos was capable of when utilizing greater deals of his strength.

Though it was slow, it wouldn't be alone. A single stomp into the ground would cause a secondary explosion. An explosion caused by applying 800 strength into the ground beneath him. Angled towards the Shinigami's direction, there would some degree of control of where the shockwave will be pushed towards. Rather than being air and wind pressure, this shockwave was that of a combined effort of Earth, metal, trash, and pressure that traveled through the ground towards the Shinigami. Easily seen, as the ground roared with a trail of dust coming towards the woman's position. The woman had options, whether it be running, or using her material to shield herself. If it came to defending herself, then she would find that her material will be able to withstand the amount of pressure being delivered, but those defenses would be forced back quite a bit. As durable as they would be, they were still unable to remain in place when being struck by a power greater than their own.

Adrastos had more than one method of fighting, whether it be close range assault, or ranged combat. If the Shinigami wasn't going to be harmed by the Hollow's own hands, then her body would be torn and beaten by the pressure of it's shockwaves. That was only if the woman was struck by them. Killing her wouldn't be possible with them, but they will hurt nonetheless. Yetsuna will undoubtedly dodge, using the best of her abilities to evade while conjuring further constructs to attack from the safety of their distance. But as the beast utilized the waves of immense pressure, he drew closer towards his prey. Pain was nothing to Adrastos when he drove his feet into the Earth. Countless times did he bare with the pain, to accept it. It only strengthened his awareness, and that of his spirit. For him to lose to a Shinigami was improbable.

[Yetsuna Yishnir]

Like she knew it would her giant stone slab drove into the beast's back, but it failed to pierce his flesh as he once more flexed to avoid her attack. This battle was quickly getting tedious for her, there was no real challenge here, sure the beast had a massive amount of strength over her and if she wanted she could go in for some toe to toe action for a bit to make a challenge, but there was too much risk. Part of her wanted to go in and just wail on the beast with her stone covered fists for a bit, the problem was that she didn't know all of the beasts tricks and all it would take is two or three solid blows before she would begin hurting bad, add on top of that extended use of her powers to amplify her physical attacks would begin to cause herself harm. Overall, it was safer, albeit WAY more boring to just pelt the beast from a distance until it was burned out.

After that last burst of reiatsu the hollow would likely assume that she was tired or had dug fairly deeply into her reiatsu reserves, assuming it had enough intelligence to even analysis the fight which was something she was beginning to doubt, but such was far from the truth. Yetsuna's reiatsu reserves could put a fair number of the gotei's captains to shame, couple that with the fact her release often relied on such large expenditures and what she had was nothing out of the ordinary for her. That said, too many expenses like that would eventually begin to take their toll, but she was unlikely to need many of them, the entire battlefield was under her control and that large slab gave her more then enough earth to work with.

After a moment the beast would begin to search for a handhold, finding one fairly quickly before beginning to shove the stone off of him, a task he would find more difficult then he expected. Sure, his raw strength was more then enough to overcome her control of stone, but that wasn't the only thing it was fighting; it had to contend with the weight of the stone as well. Yetsuna had summoned a stone damn near as large as the beast was, and its not like what she summoned was light, so the beast was easily fighting against tens of tons of weight as well as her 800 strength influence, even for something which as much raw strength as it, that had to be tiring at some level. She knew that the beast would overcome both however, and watched as it tried to turn her own element against her, "Again with this trying to use earth against me? Seriously does this thing have any ability to realize when shit won't work?" she sighed mentally to herself, "Fuck it, this is getting told, time to step up the tempo a bit."

One of Yetsuna's best and worst qualities was that she wasn't exactly a ruthless fighter, she avoided killing where she could and tended to avoid cheap shots, even against real enemies like hollows or arrancar, and more then once it had made her lose a fight. She knew this about herself too, and it wasn't something she really had an issue with, but at the same time, she knew she needed to become more ruthless if she wanted to progress as a warrior. Now was a perfect time to practice, no more waiting to see a follow up after an attack, no more just targeting the main body, it was time to go for the eyes, both literally and figuratively. She needed to target areas where she beast couldn't flex it's muscles to defend itself, eyes were one target, interior of the mouth and nose, ears were others, and if she took those out the beast wouldn't be able to fight back regardless of its strength.

As the stone began to topple/get thrown towards her she would cause to explode into a dust, obscuring vision somewhat, but not enough to be an issue for either of them. She saw the beast bringing its tail around like it was going to strike her, but she was out of range and no reiatsu coming off the beast meant it likely wasn't using any special tricks to make its reach longer. As the tail passed in front of her she saw the formation of a shock wave in the air coming in her general direction. It was unidirectional so to dodge it would be fairly simple, just move up or down, though to actually do so in time would require her using a shunpo, which was of little consequence. Spending a small amount of reaitsu the girl would flash out the hollow's vision before reappearing a few more feet back and a few more feet up. She had noticed that the hollow had slowly been creeping towards her, trying to get in range, and she refused to give it the chance. 

While using her shunpo she had noticed that the beast was lifting a leg to stamp the ground, though to what end she didn't really know, maybe it was trying to kick up a sandstorm again? The beasts foot came crashing down on the earth with an astonishing lack of effect, seemed the beast hadn't used his full strength that time. By restraining his stomp he had failed to reach the fracture point of her stone meaning nothing meaningful would occur as her earth absorbed an overwhelming majority of the energy, she almost had to stop herself from letting out a laugh at the failure of an tactic. With his attack done it was her turn once more, and this time she was planning on having it remain her's for a while.

Sand was still suspended in the air having fully had the chance to fall to the earth, which worked well to her advantage. Before the beast could blink some of the sand quickly manifested itself into spikes again, this time two, inches from his eyeballs motion to make a collision. It could try to blink sure, but even if it blocked the attack the spike would remain ground into its eyelids, forcing the beast to have to remove them himself, all the while rendered blind to the world around him. Regardless of if her blinked or not more of the stone would set to work making spike, much like last time, though this time there were fewer, but they were larger and all poised to drive into the beasts flesh like silent daggers. Overall there would be very little for the beast to base his reactions on without vision, there would be the faint sound of air around him, but what it denoted he wouldn't be able to tell meaningfully, and there was no reiatsu expended by her signaling an attack because she was using what she had already summoned. 

On the chance the beast blocked those she was still wasn't done. Regardless of what had happened with her prior to attacks she would follow up with a third, a piece of stone erupting out of the earth flying at its maximum possible speed towards the beasts jaw for an uppercut. This attack would be a bit easier to anticipate considering it would generate some noise, but it was done after her first two attacks, so at this point that sound game away nothing. The result of the uppercut would determine how she next continued her attack. She was ramping up the pressure now, and she had no intention of letting up regardless of if her attacks worked or not.

[Adrastos]

He figured as much that the sliding slab wouldn't make it to it's target. It seemed that his theory about the Earth's connection to the woman was a definite. Manipulating it to the extent that she was able to, it had to be general alteration of the element itself. If that was the case, then he was in trouble in a field that was comprised of the element beneath the trash. This meant that no matter where he went, how much effort he put forth into utilizing the environment, the Shinigami had control of their surroundings. As he proceeded to close the distance, what was the slab of Earth dispersed into a cloud of sand and dirt. He had to be careful, or else- The sand moved about, formulating a new shape in front of him. Purely out of reaction, the beast would go to turn his gaze away the obstruct to his eyes as his nails dug into the ground beneath him. The jerking halt with his motion would have prevented his eyes from being gouged, or at least his good eye. But the distance was too great, too close to avoid injury. As the beast's body shifted in posture, shifting his head along, the twin spikes cracked the mask that the Adjuchas donned, piercing the side of his left socket, and near the inner tear duct of his right.

The pain struck both sockets, annoying the great beast with particles of a grainy substance. Adrastos wailed about, both out of a tinge of pain and irritation. Etching them from his sockets, tears of black fluid streamed down gently behind the mask as several other jolts of pain served to awake him from his rant. His bad eye couldn't see what came as most of sights from it remained blurred. The beast's hide was struck like before, yet this time however, they got through. In between the bone material of the Hollow's body, the spikes punctured through the skin to dig deeper within. However, they wouldn't get deep as the rough muscle exterior hardened, stopping the spikes while a foot into his flesh. His level of tolerance to pain made it so that such stings were nothing more than Bee stings. The steel like flesh keeping them from entering as their strength began to force them out. Yet, the Shinigami was not done.

Seeing to use his moment of weakness, she pressed on through her mastery of the Earth element. The ground twist and curled, gathering the fragments and particles as they were put into a single form. A large fist that sought to pummel the beast's lower jaw. It came to halt as the Adjuchas' senses picked up on the stirring motion down below. The impact left a graze beneath the jaw line, but refused to move any further than the centimeter on impact. Adrastos had been flexing his body to keep himself from further injury as his muscles allocated themselves into their own individual work force, pushing the stakes that stuck him moments before. The Hollow was leaking fluids just as before, grinding his flesh and muscles against one another to cauterize the wounds. Tightening those injured spots, he forced the wounds to release as little blood as possible. This itself only took moments to accomplish as his body shook the minor jolts of pain that surrounded him. He was back in fighting condition once again.

Thus far, most of the Shinigami's efforts did little to harm him. Even with the recent actions she took upon herself, she kept herself distant while using quick motions to find gaps in his defense. Tactiful, and tiresome. The battle was far from over as the beast could still muster a destruction force that could easily break the little human. "RRAAAGGGHHHH." the Hollow cried out as he prepared himself once more. Legs parting with knees bent. He was ready to move once more. He didn't need speed. All that Adrastos required was his strength. The strength that aided his King in holding back the Persian hordes. The same strength that helped Squad 11 become strong. And the same strength that devoured the masses of the White Desert. It will be his strength that would prevail. Pushing aside the hard fist from his path the beast charged. Seemingly the same old tactic, except for a single detail; the beast kicked off the ground. Applying his maximum strength into a single leg, Adrastos propelled himself towards Yetsuna.

Normally, to throw oneself at astonishing speeds would require a length to build up momentum and apply strength. For Adrastos however, he didn't need the momentum. All he required was strength and direction. His would have proven to be difficult if he was physically weaker. Any less than a thousand strength wouldn't allow for one to do as the Hollow could do. While running allowed controlled movement of his body, kicking himself off the ground was very much like launching a rocket. Pushing off the ground with tremendous force behind it would launch the beast towards Yetsuna at her average speed of 300. The only issue was... he wouldn't be able to control his landing, nor direction once launched. Like a rocket, he would only go in a single direction until his feet made contact with the ground. His current direction, however, was towards the woman in midair. If he had missed, then his body would be sent towards the barrier wall. If he didn't miss, and the woman didn't move, then she would be pinned into the wall with the beast's legs pressing her into it.

This was due to his posture when launching himself. Like that of a Raptor, the legs were lifted and pushed forward into his body. This allowed his entire body to tense itself while in the air, while at the same time bracing himself for a landing. So, whether he missed or not, upon meeting the barrier his talons would dig into the wall of energy for a single moment. The moment required to push off the burning energy back towards Yetsuna once more, this time with the pushing force of the barrier wall. Adrastos' feet would burn from the shield's energy output, forcing him away. But, when adding his own power into the push from the barrier itself, the combined power of the beast and the barrier would shoot the Hollow straight towards the Shinigami. And it presented the woman with same issue as with before with Adrastos driving himself into the her. Much like a cannon ball, his body was steeled with flexed muscles. Being struck like this was equal to having a large building dropped on a human body.

Although he was much slower than that of the human, the Spartan still had more to utilize as reiatsu flared from within his body. A small portion of it as it shrieked out from his mouth, and growled towards the Shinigami. A wide spread of crimson light; Cero. It's strength meager compared to the Shinigami, but packed the impact force to still cause minor damage, including upon contact, an explosion. It's weaker form, and reiatsu strength from the beast, lacked severely. As a result, it wouldn't consume the woman, nor any object placed before it. All that it would do was erupt on contact. Enough for the beast to throw himself once more towards the woman, from the thick cloud of crimson reiatsu particles.

Reiatsu: 800/1000 ; -200 x1 Cero.

[Yetsuna Yishnir]

OOC: Forgot to actually give a number of spikes, it would have been somewhere around 8-ish.

Yetsuna's face broke into a smirk as she saw her plan pay dividends as she finally managed to draw blood from the creature, even managing to fracture its mask slightly. Her spikes drove into the beast's eyes and body, the first set missing their intended mark, but still doing the job she made made them to do while the various other spikes sunk a solid foot into beasts flesh before coming to a stop as the beast flexed once more impeding any further progress. Her final attack on the beasts jaw came to a predictable end as the stone mass ground to a halt at the tensing of the hollows jaw, aw well, she still managed to injure the beast and draw first blood. The female shinigami was about to follow up with even more attacks when she noticed the beast doing something that she hadn't expected; it was forcing out the spikes she had just driven into its flesh. To say the least it was an unexpected move, mostly because she didn't think that was something it could do, not that it dramatically affected anything about the fight, it just meant that this was likely going to be an even longer fight then she had expected. Starting to feel like this was gonna be a marathon session.



As the beast finished pushing out the spikes she noticed it shifting its position to jump again, though this time it seemed to be towards her rather then upwards. There was a great number of things the female could have done to the monster before it managed to actually jump, but she decided to let it, an idea had just come to her mind, it would hurt, but the payoff was going to be well worth it. The beast leapt towards her his feet out stretched like he was trying to a dropkick and all she could do was smile mentally. It was here an opponent of a higher intelligence likely would have noticed a major red flag in the fact that she hadn't moved to avoid the beasts attack considering the deftness she had shown at dancing round the beast so far. Two-thirds into the beasts jump towards her a stone wall around three and a half feet thick would materialize out of nowhere in front the female, its sudden existence tied perfectly in timing to a expenditure coming off of female.



The hollow would crash into the wall, unable to avoid mostly because of its own posture but partially also due to the spontaneous existence leaving no time for reaction. This was easily her strongest natural ability; instant stone summoning. Typically Yetsuna was unable to manifest stone in such a sudden manner, often a small delay occurring between her expense and the materialization, but when used in defensively she could summon her stone instantly, allowing her to intercept almost any attack that she could interpret. The beast would collide with the wall with an amazing amount of force, and the wall would yield, but that was the entire point, the wall wasn't meant to stop the monster, just absorb a majority of the energy it had with the jump. As the wall crumbled under the beasts strength and he was once more able to see the female her position had shifted to a defensive one, her arms crossed over in front of her, the stone on them slightly thicker than before, as she braced to absorb the force of the hollow.



The beast's clawed feet would make contact with the girls arms, causing her to grit her teeth, the wall had absorbed most of the force of his attack and her gauntlets absorbed even more, but it still took effort to have herself remain where she was, she could feel the strain in her arms and legs as she forced the stone on them, and therefore herself, to remain in place, but the pain she felt was nothing compared to what the hollow was about to feel. At the moment of impact Yetsuna’s reiatsu lashed out against the hollow, striking with so much force that it would feel like the hollow was attacking itself, impacting both of his legs and lower abdomen. The beasts legs would facture in several places all the while causing a horrid bruising along the entirety of the hollows legs with some bruising along the lower abdomen.



As Yetsuna’s cutback destroyed the hollows legs she pushed back against the creature, using the stone on her limbs to augment her strength and force it away. With no real foothold and each leg shattered in several places there was likely little the hollow could do to prevent her from shoving him away and send him flying through the air. Before the beast would land on the ground it would begin to warp and swirl, catching the beast and quickly forming restraints several feet thick around his legs, waist, torso, neck, arms, and head. Surely enough the beast would be able to break them, but it would take him a few moments and full excretion of his strength a few times before he could, and thought bought her the time she needed.



Using a shunpo Yetsuna appeared on top of the hollows mask, right between its eyes, the spikes on her gauntlets now blades, and she was poised to strike. Realistically now would have been an amazing time to go for the beast’s mask and kill it, but she didn’t know the full extent of the monsters ability to flex to protect itself, so the mask would be a gamble, it’s eyes however, were a guaranteed hit. Immediately after making her landing she would drive both of her arms down with a speed of 800 into the monster's eyes, rendering him blind. She would break the stone blades off in the hollows eye sockets leaving them embedded as she used another shunpo to get away as the beast was likely to almost be free of her restraints and she did not want to be within grabbing distance. She’d reappear several yards away in mid-air as she waited to see what, if any, real advantage she managed to give herself. She also needed a moment to catch her breath.



The shinigami had just pulled several large moves in rapid succession, coupled with forcing her body to move in ways that were beyond its norm. She could feel a dull ache in her arms from having to withstand the hollows attack as well as forcing them to move rapid so that she could blind the beast. A sheen was forming on the females brow from exertion, she still had plenty of gas in the tank to keep going, but she didn’t see the benefit of overexerting herself when she could take a short moment to recollect herself while the beast was down.


Note: Restrains are 5 feet thick a piece and have a durability equal to 1600. They can be broken, but will take a few attempts. 

Reiatsu: 6625/8000
