Kaizo continued to follow Rio with his eyes, his eyes remained focused and the expression on his face suggested the same, he wasn't just messing around he was testing something. Seeing Rio move to his right he moved back a little but got caught only a little across his right arm by her Shikai but then seeing her Shunpo back gave him somewhat of an opportunity. Kaizo's left Shikai then ignited with flames and took on the same appearance as his right Shikai then he began slashing rapidly infront of him sending hundreds of mini arcs of Fire that would explode a little when they made contact with something but for the time he kept this up the explosion from them would continue to grow larger and larger but after around one hundred he had stopped and crouched down to the ground, placing his left hand on the ground as he waited for Rio's reaction

[u]Rio Okotaru Darishimo[/u]

As Rio fought with her drowsiness, she knew she made a rookie mistake by taking her attention off her opponent. [i]'DAMMIT!'[/i] As a reflex, Rio quickly lifted her arms, crossing them to bock her face and most of her body again as explosive arcs of fire hit her. Squeezing one eye close, she felt the heat of the attack grow with each arc that hit her. Gritting her teeth harder, she made the best effort she could to keep her arms held up firmly, trying to block as many arcs as possible. Once the attack stopped, dust surrounded Rio. She held her breath so that she didn't inhale any of it and quickly held both palms out flat, facing them where Kaizo's position was with her arms together after pulling the handles of her Shikai back and out of the way. She kept one eye closed as she uttered an incantation. [b]"Ye lord. Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man. Inferno and pandemonium, the sea barrier surges, march on to the south. Hadō 31, Shakkahō!"[/b] The dust continued to conceal her as an orb of crimson energy formed in front of both of her palms. Speaking the incantation added to the orb's power as it grew rather large. It then fired directly towards Kaizo, blasting the dust away from Rio.
