[h2]The Arena - Ibaraki-douji[/h2]

The battle began. With blinding speed, the oni's opponent had already reached her, swinging... his?(Was that Guan Yu? Well, it didn't matter to Ibaraki, she'd beat anyone she came up against!) weapon down towards her almost immediately.

The horned girl grinned.

As the guandao tore through the air towards her, trailing a chilling mist into the air as it did, Ibaraki-douji's bone sword swung up to meet it. In anywhere but a city of Servants, this would have seemed insane: what appeared to be a little girl attempting to block the the attack of what appeared to be some sort of terrible ice armor creature by herself.

And yet, when the edge of the bone blade met the icy steel of the guandao, it held fast.

The impact certainly hit the oni's body, her knees bending slightly from the blow, but that grin upon her lips didn't falter. Instead, it widened, flames billowing behind the demonic girl as she planted one bare foot forward, firmly enough to crater the earth beneath her as she pushed her strength against her opponent's. And that strength was enormous: In spite of her apparent lucidity, it was clear Mad Enhancement had a profound effect on her capabilities.

Or perhaps such strength was simply an oni's natural capability.

Regardless of the truth, with a sudden burst of power Ibaraki shifted her enemy's weapon to the side, lashing out with her free hand to claw at her! Flames erupted from her lashing limb, wreathing it in fire as it tore through the air towards her icy opponent!
