Cho frowned. He immediately sensed that this was not going to be any easy fight. He held onto Barr tighter as the undead boxer slowly advanced forward, the bobbing and hopping of his feet on the dirt kicking up tiny dust clouds that slowly faded away in the wind. His opponent held his hands up but kept his arms loose, his legs and feet as well. Classic boxing stance. He'd seen this once before, when he was watching professional boxing back on Earth. Pay-per-view.

Slowly he sized up his opponent, keeping in mind that the other was slowly moving towards him. With a careful step, Cho began to move backwards and to the right, keeping his front towards the boxer at all times.

He could feel the atmosphere bear down upon him. All around, the ghostly crowd had fallen silent, though they were watching intently the unfolding fight. Two powerful, capable combatants, sizing each other up and circling like predators.

The tension was thick.

The daemon's words were crystal clear over the silence. If the fact wasn't clear that the knife had someone living inside it, it was now. Cho held tightly onto its grip and grimaced. This wasn't how he was hoping things to go. It looked like they were evenly matched, sure, but since when had a knife ever beat a professional gigaverse boxer?

Only one way to find out.

Anticipating to get beat in the face right off the bat, Cho took a step forward, raising Barr up and behind his head. With another quick step forward he was within striking distance of Tre'Yan, and he swung downward quickly, aiming a blazing fast downward slash straight at Tre'Yan's face and chest. If it did connect, it would rake downward and diagonally right across his shoulder down towards his hip.

Of course, this was such an orthodox move that Cho was waiting to have the move blocked. If it were, he would simply accept the block and take a quick two-step back, out of range. Testing the waters, as it were.
