As his blade came up in an arch, she recognized the motion and quickly drew the wind to her again to give her some level of shielding from his attack. The Dragoon used one of her earlier attacks to send her flying into the air, but this time it was more diagonal, forcing her up and away from the arch. Unfortunately due to the distance she would still get hit by it, causing her to be thrown off course and forced back down into the ground. She'd strike the ground and roll to a stop before slowly forcing her way up. A noticeable dent in her armor, and blood pooled where the attack had hit her, shredding her left sleeve to expose the various gashes left behind.
Ryuki hissed softly at the pain, but quickly regained her composure as she straightened, readying for his next attack. Anyone else might have stopped, but she was clearly enjoying this too much to. Despite how badly she might be injured, she was not backing down.

The King smiles beneath his helm as she stands, the blood still running from her wound. He lowers his sword, she had improved a fair amount lately. He was impressed. Perhaps soon she would be strong enough for the King to no longer need to hold back at all. He fixes his grip on his sword, cyan fire flared behind his mask as he kicked of and dashed toward her, he held back less of his strength as he swung the blade, aiming to slash vertically down her torso.
I am the one who defied death. I am the one he fears. I am the on he can not take. One sweep of my hand and your nations will fall. Come for me you worms. You will all bow before my legions or be broken beneath us as we march upon your cities.
Ryuki watched as he charged her, counting his pace, studying his movements and waiting for a chance to react. The torrent of wind began to pick up around her as her passive activated giving her a touch more defense. He was on her in seconds, and in response the naginata was lifted allowing the blade to intercept it to block the motion. However knowing the strength behind his attack, she would not fully try to stop the motion allowing it to slide down the length of the weapon.
The half-dragon stepped to her left allowing it to move his motion to the right, before snapping the blade downward towards the back of his neck. Had this been a real fight, her aim would have been to sever his head from his shoulders, aimed for the opening beneath the edge of his helm. However given that she had no desire to fatally wound him, the dull side of her blade would be moved to snap hard enough to temporarily numb his body and throw off his motions should she manage to strike his spine properly.

The King's blade slide down the length of her naginata, the raw amount of force behind the blow would have been near impossible to block. He raises his shoulder and pushes off to the left, away from her blade. The dull side of her blade would slam into his pauldron, the armored shoulder taking the brunt of the force sending the king slightly off balance. Quickly steadying himself, he turned to face her, taking a defensive stance should she try take advantage of the situation.
I am the one who defied death. I am the one he fears. I am the on he can not take. One sweep of my hand and your nations will fall. Come for me you worms. You will all bow before my legions or be broken beneath us as we march upon your cities.
Ryuki would of course take advantage. She was still next to him as he went off balance from the strike, allowing the blade to be thrust forward across the top of his pauldron towards his head intending to stab into the helmet deep enough to draw blood without being fatal if she succeeded.
From there, she'd jerk back, and spin quickly, using the air current to amplify the momentum as she went to strike from behind him to send him staggering forward should the impact be strong enough. Again attempting to send him off balance.

The King heard the blade grind across the pauldron towards his helm, unable to do much else, he raised his arm, the elbow slamming into the length of the blade sending it upward causing it to skip across the top of his helm. As she pulled back he took a firmer stance, preparing for the blow he knew she would follow up with, decides to not hold back as much as she had been getting better.
She would clearly feel the King's power as she stuck him from behind, his armor absorbing the majority of the blow causing him to take a step forward instead of stumbling as he would have a few moments ago. He spun around on his heel, his left hand turning to a fist and colliding with the naginata just below the blade forcing it away. His right arm positioned with the blade was slightly above his left, the blade sweeping outward slicing across the leather straps of her armor and partially into the material of her kimono, cutting into the fabric less than a millimeter away from her skin.
I am the one who defied death. I am the one he fears. I am the on he can not take. One sweep of my hand and your nations will fall. Come for me you worms. You will all bow before my legions or be broken beneath us as we march upon your cities.
She felt the naginata rise with the shift of his arm, and the fist impact it knocking it away. One hand released so she wouldn't be completely thrown off balance by it. Ryuki went to bring the naginata back around, caught off guard as the blade cut across the leather straps holding on her chest plate. As it fell, she would reposition, pausing at the sensation of her kimono partially falling off her shoulder and sliding down her upper arm.
Eyebrows lifted, then slowly narrowed as she tore the sleeve off completely, causing the kimono to droop and expose the bandaging around her chest. So this is his game, is it? She might have smiled if not for the battle burning through her blood. Though a glint in her gaze gave hint to the amusement of his move.
Ryuki wasted no time as she used the air to send her forward, faster this time without the heavy chest plate adding to the weight on her form. As she closed the distance, she quickly moved to sweep the naginata across his legs, trying to force him off balance again knowing he would likely attempt to dodge it, or block the incoming strike. However she was hardly done as she would release the naginata, bringing her right fist aimed for the side of his head, gathering a tight ball of wind as she did so which would explode on impact intending to throw off his equilibrium.

The King smirked from under his helm as he noticed the subtle look of amusement in her eyes. He readies himself as he watches her movements, he moves his blade to connect with the moving naginata to deflect it, as she releases it he pulls back from the fist. His free armored hand rising to grab her forearm before her punch could connect, he grips it like a vice and watches her through his helm, it slowly melts away revealing his face. His eyes studying her features for any sign she would continue to attack, "I think I win." He states as he tightens his grip ever so slightly.
I am the one who defied death. I am the one he fears. I am the on he can not take. One sweep of my hand and your nations will fall. Come for me you worms. You will all bow before my legions or be broken beneath us as we march upon your cities.
Her weapon was deflected as she predicted, though she did not expect him to catch her fist. The wind would be absorbed by the curve of his palm, forcing it to rupture under his grip sending out a slight popping sound. Ryuki held fast to the naginata, eyes alight with life as she watched his helm melt away.
His words caused her eyebrows to narrow, before giving him a single nod in confirmation. "This time." She would say, trying to pull her fist back only to find him gripping it tighter. What might he do with his win, she wondered.

"You think you can actually beat me?" he questioned quietly, his hand not releasing her arm as if to continue to show the power he had over her. The Ruined King's smirk faded as stepped toward her and looked down into her golden eyes. His blade looks to evaporate into the black smoky mist before disappearing completely freeing his hand.

"Someday." She responded with a tone that suggested she was completely serious. His smirk fading, along with his blade, Ryuki tugged on her fist only finding it firmly gripped within his own. She stood silent; fearless, taking in his pale visage and those striking blue eyes. The crimson hair framing his face, tossed about lightly in the ever constant current of wind that raced lightly around her form. She was unconcerned with what he might do to her.
The half-dragon let a faint growl escape her. Faint enough that it would be just barely audible, seeming to fade in and out lightly as her eyes met with his. The monster within her stirring by the look he was giving her. It wanted to dominate him. That much was clear. She made no move as their gazes locked, her own burning like a golden fire.
