Watching as his own strike missed the hollow before him, Ursa grunted in anger. Just what was this woman capable of? It was proving to be quite annoying, if nothing else! He was going to have to try something different if he was to beat her in this fight. At least, that was the plan originally, if it weren't for the fact that Teresa had been setting up an assault of her own.
As a large pike of hardened sand came his way, threatening to likely take his life then and there, Ursa wasn't about to let something like that happen. Expending reiatsu once more, and growing to a tremendous height, Ursa took the opportunity to keep the car-sized stalagmite piercing into his leg. With another roar of pain, he did what he could to stand tall. This was proving to be quite difficult, but he wasn't going to be taken down quite yet! Not without putting up more of a fight, damn it!
Releasing more reiatsu, Ursa took the opportunity to cover his body in a "suit" of steel brambles, originating from his back before working its way down to his feet. Eventually, he'd been in what looked to be a suit of bear armor. Quite flashy, all things considered. Though, that was the last of what he had planned to do. Roaring as loud as he could, Ursa released a forceful shockwave of physical and spiritual energy, forcefully pushing the stalagmite from his body, and propelling a storm of nearby sand around him.
As the dust quickly settled, he huffed a few more words. "Garras del Asesino." As his voice echoed, what sounded like teeth gritted together, and another wave of reiatsu unleashed itself over the hollow's claws. Though, this time it was different. Instead of releasing outward in a flashy display, these stayed on him. And, while that was the case, Ursa had taken a few steps forward.
A few slow steps turned to a few faster, which eventually reached a jogging pace, before turning to a sprint. If nothing else, it was apparent that he'd been battered and bruised quite a bit. So much so, that this was proving to be quite the tiresome fight. But, he couldn't go down! Not yet! Not without putting this woman in her place!
And so, he went in for his strongest attack. The moment that he found himself practically on top of Teresa, he'd bare his claws down, looking to dig them into her with as much force and speed as he could muster. If it connected, such was going to be quite the powerful strike against her. If not? Well, then he wasn't going to be in the best of situations.{Reiatsu Pool: 200/1,500}
-400 from Crecimiento Salvaje.
-200 from Poderoso Rugido.
-600 from Garras del Asesino.{Crecimiento Salvaje}
One of Ursa's favorite techniques, this one allows him to grow rather large in a short amount of time. Reaching up to thirty feet tall at a Speed of 600, Crecimiento Salvaje allows the Hollow to overwhelm his foes through sheer size alone. While active, projectile-based attacks are 25% less effective, as it becomes much harder to land precise strikes against the Hollow through his thickened skin. This technique lasts for five posts, before needing to be refreshed.{Poderoso Rugido}
Another powerful defensive ability that Ursa holds, Poderoso Rugido grants the hollow a suit of armor not unlike brambles. Though, this armor possesses a special property. Aside from simply blocking incoming attacks that possess less Offensive Stat than his Reiatsu Strength, Poderoso Rugido actually reflects damage back toward its attacker. Projectiles bounce off and return to their attacker, while physical attacks instead mimic the damage they would've dealt to Ursa back toward his assailant. This armor clashes at Class 3, and only reflects attacks with a lesser Offensive Stat. Lasts for three posts, before needing to be refreshed.{Garras del Asesino}
Ursa's ultimate technique. Garras del Asesino coats the hollows claws in a potent green energy, much like his Cero. Though, instead of firing this off like a projectile, this technique remains on his claws. When making an attack against a target with these claws, Ursa will find that his claws are almost magnetically attracted to the target in question, pulling both toward one another if the target has lesser Strength than Ursa's Reiatsu Strength. Each Rank in Acrobatics a target possesses will treat their Strength as 15% higher than it is, for the purpose of this comparison only.
Those that find themselves struck by these claws will find that their defenses hold very little stock against these claws, as they shred through any that are Class 4 and below, giving way to damage the target. This technique lasts for three posts, or until a successful strike is made. Garras del Asesino clashes at Class 2.
