Masahiko was a little surprised when he kick was actually caught. Damien then spun and elbowed him in the nose. He took a few steps back rubbing his nose to make sure it wan't broken, "Hm, nice hit there. It's been a long time since I've been hit. Looks like I'll have to get a little bit more serious," he once again slips into his shadow as the blades strike the ground where he was standing. The shadow speeds towards Damien sliding up along one of the bookshelves and leaps out wearing [black gauntlets](http://www.trueswords.com/images/prod/c/medieval_steel_riveted_steel_gauntlets_540.jpg). He attacks with a flurry of punches making a couple lucky hits dealing little damage. On the counter attack he dodges most of the attacks taking a handful of light cuts and finally he sees an opportunity. Rushing in he grabs one of the swords Damian was holding by the blade and smiles, "Now to use by favorite magic!" keeping a tight grip on the blade he continues fighting. While he's holding the blade he absords the heat from the blade causing it to become brittle. Satisfied he kicks Damien away causing the blade to shatter. He spins around when Carrie was stabbed. He throws several bolts at Damian and starts moving over when young woman smashes though the wall in front of him. For a second he was was aobut to scream when he saw the red hair but quickly realized it wasn't Sayuri and instead turned to look as a winged lizardman walks in though the hole, "Ah, Grane you made it here sooner then I expected. I'd say it's a pleasure but given the circumstances I would be lieing," he watches Garne attack the other mage then turns back to Damian, "So do you still wanna fight me or will you focus on the bigger threat?"
