<Snipped quote by Dark Cloud>

Then you’ve blown your chance.
*An outward force erupts from my body, ejecting the metal shrapnel from Gajeel’s attack and shredding the tendrils, dropping me from their grasp*
[/quote]

*Shrapnel flying outward, with such force from the burst several piercing my armor only jerking me backwards slightly. Yet as black ichor flows from my wounds it hardens around the shrapnel, the glow around me intensifying and I chuckle.*

[color=red]No, I merely waited for retaliation you see...[/color]

*A shrill hum pierces the air as the light now engulfs the armor around me and the scythe I wield.*

[color=red]The more you struggle, the more you try...[/color]

*My movements blurred I step in and out of perceived reality, in no rush to reach you.*

[color=red]The more swift your end will come.[/color]

*Several shards of black metal fly at you as I suddenly lunge at you swinging my scythe.*
