<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*The blade dematerializes, and I use the created space to deliver a kick to your gut, flinging you far into the atmosphere*
[/quote]

*On this blow specifically, the kinetic energy seems absorbed in its entirety with a resonating visual effect in the air, and it is effectively neutralized even though I still take the kick. In the same motion, my arm lurches forward in a punch landing directly into your forehead*
