[quote=@Legend Begins] *Flips a knife behind my back to intercept the strike, glistening with a gray, difficult-to-look-at gray sheen like subtle static* Surprise attacks are only successful if you attack unannounced. [/quote] Artorias: * your interception grinds your blade against mine, wisps of corrupting and corrosive amaranthine leaking from its ancient, almost cosmic in nature blade. with a heavy sweep, I swing my blade with a fully charged amaranth aura at you with absurd strength for my size, letting out a hollow grunt as my strike bears down upon you*
