Masami's kick fell like a guillotine blade, much much harder than a human could have produced. His heel connected with her arm, but her upward force combined with the pieces of tourmaline scratching his left leg did throw him off balance.

Masami's tumbled back, rolling to try and get back on his feet without immediately seeing the results of his kick. If she got him in a grapple, his options would be limited. And he wasn't looking to cripple, maim, or kill her. Which was harder than he had expected it to be.

She pounced onto him and grabbed for the arm holding the small sword. She attempted to disarm by twisting the arm and karate chopping the wrist. Of course, he wasn't exactly human, so she was unsure if aiming for the weaker points on a human body would necessarily work on him. Especially when he could hit like how he did. He didn't even get the maximum amount of momentum, and her arms were in pain. She refused to show it though as she tried to basically sit on him and put the weapon-wielding arm in a grapple. Properly positioning herself so the blade wasn't in direct line with flesh.

Yup. There it was. Masami sighed and went limp, becoming dead weight. He was pretty sure she was strong enough to lift him even though he weighed a good bit more than a human. None of that really mattered though.

He let her wrench the sword out of his grip with no resistance. He sighed and went over his options. Escape was the simplest option.

Masami's form vanished, and in his place was a katana with a blade as long as he was tall and a beautifully crafted tsuka wrapped in royal blue ray skin and fitted with gold. The weapon flew backward, attempting to leave Ivanka's grip. If she tried to grab it with her hands she would find them cut terribly, regardless of any increased durability she had.

Ivanka didn't really want to destroy him; she was aiming to defeat him. However, she was hoping he had some way of escape. Having the match be too short would be no good. Not to mention she expected something more out of him. She didn't know him, but something told her he wasn't just some food-selling drunk. Soon her answer would arrive in the form of a glorious katana.

She gasped in shock as the sword flew out of her grasp. It was so gorgeous, she almost wanted to grab it and claim it as her own. She internally scolded herself over her greed as he flew out. The shock kept her frozen long enough so that she didn't cut up her hands or arms. Soon she shook her head though and stood up. She tossed away the hilt, interested in going hand-to-hand with Masami.

"Nice trick."

She idly commented. Keeping up with the smug stage persona. In reality, she found his true form rather attractive. ..in an admiration sense. Not a dating sense. Though she wouldn't mind getting to know him more. Instead of charging after him, she waited to see what he would do from here. Taking up a defensive stance once more.

Okay so he definitely was not going to die. That much was clear at this point. He could focus more on the fight.

The sword floated in the air at roughly the angle and height it would if a man we're holding it in a ready position. When she complimented him however, he returned to his human form and cracked his neck. All this activity was making his back sore. He needed to work out more regularly.

"Can we end this soon? I would really like to get a drink." He adopted a wide fighting stance with his palms raised once again. Defensive. Ready to deal with whatever she threw at him next.

A smirk stretched across her face. "Perhaps." Seeing that he was waiting for her, she moved in. Moving quickly but cautiously as her body moved side to side in its advance. Making it more difficult to predict which angle she'd attack from. A straight punch from the right arm went towards his collarbone, but it was only so she could attack with a sharp knee to the gut while his eyes were (hopefully) focused on the fist. To better sell it, she put her arms up in a traditional boxing stance as she was advancing towards him before the punch.

If the knee hit its mark, her left fist would try to greet his face with an uppercut. She doubted this would end here, but she looked for a proper take-down by fisticuffs.

Yeah, he really didn't want this to go on any longer than it had to. The jeers and cheers from the crowd were starting to work on his nerves worse than the clamor of a battlefield ever had.

As Ivanka approached in her serpentine pattern, Masami waited patiently. He set himself up, watching her movements closely and focusing on the wind blowing in his hair.

When she got close enough to strike, Ivanka was not met with one Masami but with seven, after images all standing in the same spot but in slightly different positions. Seven strikes came out at once.

One downward palm thrust blocked the knee to his stomach.

One chop deflected the punch to his collarbone.

One punch aimed for her sternum.

One knife hand aimed for her throat.

One elbow strike aimed for her right collarbone.

One chop aimed for her ribs.

And one heel stomp aimed for her left foot.

All of these simultaneous attacks, if they hit, would ignore any resistances or armor she wore, as well as regeneration. He intended to end this as soon as possible. Immediately if he could.

Ivanka didn't get to hit with the decoy or the real attack. On top of that, she suddenly had seven Masamis to deal with. Seven. As she recalled both her knee and fist, she found herself having to defend against five different hits at once. Her right arm quickly pulled back in time to protect her neck and collarbone from harm, but she was slammed in the other areas. A loud gasp sounded from her as his hits hit like a truck. Her left arm went down to grab her ribs.

The injured dragon recoiled from the blows and leaned forward with her right arm still in front. It had been a long while since she got hit like this. Suddenly she felt human again. Still, she had to keep going. Her pride not letting her admit defeat as she tried recovering quickly enough to put herself in a better defensive position. The woman had to match his speed, and that would not be easy with him having actual bite to his hits.

She was hurt, and he felt bad about that. But he had what amounted to his entire saving bet on himself. If he lost that money, it'd be back to welfare housing for who knew how long. He wouldn't do her the disservice of asking her to surrender. Masami understood the pride of a warrior better than most.

So while Ivanka was recovering from his swallowtail strike, Masami kept going forward. The after images faded as he launched forward, striking with a flurry of palm, knee and elbow strikes at her more vulnerable areas. These strikes didn't have the benefit of ignoring her resistance and her healing, bit they did come hard and fast regardless.

Ivanka gritted her teeth as she moved to block his strikes. These weren't as bad, but her weakened state allowed some blows to get through. Still the dragon stood, intending to go down like a proper fighter. Back to her counter strategy she went, analyzing his movements in order to find a proper weak point. Her hands moving all about in an attempt to keep up with his assault. The moment he left an opening, it would be time to go in with the hard, fast blow. Until then, she only lightly jabbed back at most, taking on a rather fencer-like approach. Perhaps she could tire him out instead, but she wouldn't count on it.
