Lisitia quickly swung her hands, clutching onto the handle of her weapon, upwards and to the left in an arc motion, angling the mostly horizontal blade slightly downwards to clash into her opponent's just in the nick of time, her reactions swift enough to allow this much but she could tell that he had gotten a lot quicker with this latest strike, spelling trouble for her if her body couldn't quite keep up with the attacks to come should they keep up with this intensity. Because of this she didn't want to stay on the defensive where she could be worn down and defeated. She needed to counterattack, and fast, to have the best chance of success, especially with her 30 seconds of battle time with her shield not lasting for too much longer, all things considered. She charged forward with max acceleration, sliding her blade along the inside edge of his as she went. If she managed to close the remaining gap she would joust the tip of her blade forward, coming from the left and angled to the right toward's his groin. He wasn't getting away with his own groin attack attempt without expecting one used against him as well. Besides, with the angle of her blade and the height she was locked in with his, she couldn't really aim higher. This was the best target she had to debilitate him quickly. She hoped her shield would hold up to any attacks sent her way as she closed in.
