Elza giggled, "He thought I was asking." she reached out with her magic towards Ryan's voice located him and fell backwards as one would for a trust fall. Of course the only person Elza had to trust was herself and she vanished into her shadow reappearing out of Ryan's and swinging her oversized scythe as she rose out of it. "It wasn't a request!" Elza shouted as her weapon cleaved towards his head. If she hit him hard enough and fast enough before Meruin's healing spell could take full effect it should be an easy victory. As long as Meruin didn't interfere... she had been hoping that those other two girls could at least distract the ridiculously powerful mage.

Ryan turned around and frowned. He created a shield of solid earth and watched the blade sink into it. While her view of him was blocked he quickly disappeared into the wind as he felt his strength beginning to return. He reappeared on top of a tree and smiled. He coughed up some blood and looked at his hand. He smeared the blood on his mouth and smiled. He looked like a complete maniac as he looked down on her. "Honjo Masamune!" He summoned his sword to him and looked down on it. "Hebun Masamune." The sword glowed as it became a pure white instead of silver. " Let us see who has the better blade." Ryan wasn't completely healed yet, but he wasn't going to pass out any time soon. He swung and a wave of energy went towards her. Upon closer examination the wave was sharpened wind.
