Her knife bounced off thin air before it could reach the robed figure. She could definitely feel her blade cut through something solid. A damage number that appeared after her attack confirmed this, but whatever it was the hunter was obviously unhurt. Ignoring Sasha, he managed to get a spell off on Ren- and did a horrifying three digit number on him.

"Fuck! You son of a bitch!" Sasha cursed, and spat at him. The small wad of spittle hit the shield and slid down the side of it. "Let's see if I can't tear this shit down, you fucker. Inventory! Equip [i]wakizashi[/i]! Breathing Technique on!"

Summoned by her words, a short curved blade appeared in her empty hand. Wasting no time, she went to work with both weapons, unleashing a flurry of strokes at the mage. Sasha wasn't just hoping to tear down the shield- she was trying to be a distraction. She was careful to pay close attention to the mage's movements even while she tried to hack away at the barrier, just in case he tried to sling a bolt her way.
