Crotona's words were a bit of a shock, he had been enjoying the fight but he had really just been seeing her as an obstacle to overcome. That wasn't right, she was a person and a powerful one at that. And they thought he was strong. It was embarrassing to doubt yourself especially against an opponent in a setting like this. He had to swallow his doubts and fast because there was a Konatsian running right at him with a sword. Lattei was still drained from clashing with the attack so his response was groggy and slow.
Slashes caught him and they stung, digging into him and leaving trails of red. He fell to one knee, the cuts racking up before he finally got to guard with his own weapon, the blade clanging off his own metal. He attempted to slap at the blade to try and knock it out of her hand, wondering if such a gambit would work. Then he rolled to the side to make some distance and give him breathing room. Still on the floor, he swept his leg trying to drag her feet from under her so he could assail her with blows from the tonfas. He was hoping to conserve energy after such a big flashy show earlier. If he ran out of gas, he'd really be in for a beating even if Crotona was originally weaker than him. PL: 29,000 KP: 3/6 (+2) MP: 1/6 (+1)
Crotona kept moving forward as the slashes began to land on him. Cutting into his flesh. They were landing but not doing all she needed. It would not end the fight that easily. She'd need to end this fight with a bang. She'd find the perfect opening to take Lattei down with a perfect move! Crotona kept moving as the blade was slapped away but she held on. Her grip on her blade was too strong to get swept out of her hands so easily. That did give Lattei time to move back though but Crotona knew it'd not be enough. Crotona launched forward but almost got swept off her feet by Lattei attack. She did leap up just in time though but was forced to raised her sword to guard agiasnt the Tonfa blows. But now he was close and attacking. One of her hands moved to ring the statue of her father. Belial reformed behind her raising his ax above his head. She was imbuing her attack this time. She was going to smash Lattei right down. "Sorry but I still got the energy for this one." Belial's ax swung forth towards Lattei to slam into his chest and try to ring him out with only a little time to spare.
