*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.*

*Hits the ground, heaving in short sporadic breaths as my bones and flesh knit themselves back together after the recoil of the previous attack*

*Kite-like black shapes stack up on either side of me and bond together, and I sit down in their center, shielded from attacks*
