[color=f6989d][center][h1]Momotaro[/h1] [h3]The Risk I Took Was Calculated Fuyuki Park[/h3][/center][/color] This was bad. Expectations of just lightning raining down and him having to dodge it was shattered with one moment as Momotaro's charge was interrupted by his shock and surprise as his charge faltered, crashing through the first barrier that Hypatia had set up for him. His sword was outstretched and as his charge hit the barrier, his sheer force increased as he stumbled through. This was gonna be harder than expected. With that brief stop, he pushed on, going back into his valiant stride, gritting hard as he felt the atmosphere shift around him. This was no longer anyone's territory but this Caster before him. With that, Raid of Onigashima activated, the skill-boosting the boy's strength but at this moment, he was well aware that brute strength would not be his ally in this valiant charge. He skidded in his tracks, watching the monkeys rise up from the darkness of the park before him and he noticed the crocodile almost immediately. A wide boyish grin spread across his features, realizing these were not animals like the ones he had met in his time, nothing but fakes, and a perfect sparring partner. The young warrior heeded the warning, quickly wrapping both hands around the katana as he lashed out into the monkeys, dodging the crocodile with ease, dancing around him with a glint in his eyes, lunging out at the monkeys with precise strikes, finishing each one with a single slash, aiming for critical centers, destabilizing them with a clear cut through the middle of each one. Time was running out, and he could feel magic on its way. Suddenly the beam began. And Momotaro saw an opportunity. Suddenly, he stomped on the crocodile's head with his sandaled foot, subduing it before gripping its tail with a free hand, the other on his katana. Swiftly, he began swinging the crocodile around him as orbs bounced to and forth, sheathing his katana and only using the crocodile to swing it, bouncing the magical balls off of its husk, every so often a stray one would slip by his defense as he slowly stepped closer and closer to the caster. His grip slipped and the crocodile was tossed towards Hypatia as Momotaro unsheathed his sword. That moment of hesitation was enough for the beam balls to rocket into the armourless boy, wincing as he felt the electrical bursts around him. Dashing was all he could do as he ran, enduring the onslaught as he slashed out at them, hopefully bouncing them away from him, but they would only bounce back and smack him in the face. Wincing he brought his smiling face up to face his opponent as he advanced on Hypatia. [b][color=f6989d]"This is great! Thank you caster! AHAHAHA"[/color][/b] he laughed as he responded, trying his best to roll to dodge the beams before coming back up and ducking beneath the bouncing onslaught, many striking him and electricity slowly began to build, slowing him down, but he continued nonetheless. [b][color=f6989d]"Apologies for the misunderstanding! Beserker of the Goddess will likely make short work of the oni! But I shall oblige you and spar! I hope you have more tricks up your sleeve!"[/color][/b] A wise grin was obvious as he took a deep breath and nodded, making a final dash for her, sword in both hands. [b][color=f6989d]"I promise you, at this moment I wouldn't dare! This is more fun than 3000 Onis!"[/color][/b]
