Zelriane disappeared from sight, evading Bruce's initial strike and hopping through the network of bladed chains like a mach 2 grasshopper as he closed the distance between himself and his target. Defensive opponents were his most difficult hurdle, but what he lacked in Physical power, he made up in magical might.

	In the blink of an eye, he was above Bruce, with his arms crossed, and his index fingers extended. In a swift outward fanning of his arms, Zelriane released a series of flaming darts that travelled at a blistering speed towards Bruce. Pure arcane energy, weak and easy to evade, but quick enough to get through Bruce's double layered chain barrier if aimed precisely. Again, he disappeared, and appeared on the ground beneath Bruce, firing two more flaming darts towards what he'd imagined to be chinks in Bruce's tight defence. His green eyes drifted carefully across Bruce's figure, linking his senses directly into the Ki that he controlled. For a moment, he wondered if Rajaka was truly necessary here, but brushed the thought off arrogantly and disappeared from sight again. Now he was moving constantly. Catching sight of Zelriane was already difficult enough, only possible when he slowed his body to tense up for an attack. Was he shifting to a defensive strategy himself as well?
