The curved blade dug into Taggerung's flesh, striking bone easily, and showering the two of them with sparks. As Celeste put distance between the two of them, he watched idly, slightly hunched as he did so. Taggerung watched, both eyes on Celeste, as she flicked the blood from the blade towards Taggerung. The blood speckled Taggerung's face, landing in several areas. Taggerung seemed to be unphased, and kept his locked stare on Celeste. As Celeste charged forward, becoming a proverbial tornado, Taggerung backed up with each dodge, every slash and stab missing their mark. It was impressive to see, as Taggerung's motions became waterlike in their ability to dodge the incoming strikes. Before Celeste finished her volley of strikes, Taggerung dodged one last blade, stopping his backward motion, and ducking inside towards Celeste, a hand shooting up towards the side of her chin, in a clawed punch. The punch wouldn't rip out flesh, but it'd definitely dig into the flesh of the chin if it struck. It appeared to be more of a simple punch, than anything.
