Elza shook her head, this girl was just to strong. Everything she threw at her was simply blocked and reacted to with chilling calmness. Although it was expected fighting a rank 3 council member. Elza breifly considired conceding the spar, it was only a spar and she was in a tight spot, but she decided against it. She quickly, with a great deal of effort, ripped down sheets of the floor and ceiling to make a wall between her and the roots hoping that they would be held off for a least a few seconds. Then Elza shot a stream of shadow jetting herself to the side landing on one of the walls and hopped wall to wall closer to the falling mage barely managing to stay ahead of the glowing tendrils of hair, unless of course the roots had broken through faster than she was hopeing. If Elza managed to get close enough she would swing her shadow encrusted sythce at her. Of course she was only aiming to hit Meruin with the handle, it was a spar after all.
