Trading a blow for blow isn't really optimal for a fighter such Rider. She has to use her opponent's strengths and turn it against them. It's like the basic principle of martial arts after all right?

Before anything resolves, for mere fracture of a second, Rider is able to analyze the situation of her opponents attack.

A quick recap of what is gonna happened, and will happen.

The knee to the gut is imminent and at the back and there's an entire arm waiting to constrict me.

*Sigh* how did I get myself tangled in this predicament? Stupid.. Stupid... Stupid... My ancestors and my fellow soldiers must be rolling in their graves right about now. Can't believe this bastard has natural combat knowledge base his movements and reactions, my enemy's brutish fighting style is somewhat close to a grappler or a brawler type I would say? can't tell.. but right now there are important matter to take care off, like not getting crush driving force of this juggernaut. She shakes her head and focused on situation.

Rider's next move was set. This is turning into a test of her endurance and combat knowhow in the most dangerous close-quarter combat of her life.

The sequence of action now follows as Rider executes it with precision.

The interlock between the two warriors was rather too close for comfort. You can literally cut a knife between the two fighters butting heads with one another.

Rider's explosive elbow strike connects, all Rider has to do is slightly shift her trajectory towards her moving opponent within this point blank range.

As for kneeing Rider for an exchanging blow, Lifting it in this situation means you have to give up most of your center. Luckily for Rider, Her stance was firmly rooted and able to respond while maintaining her balance with a knee of her own.

Rider retort with a shin for a knee.

She has to take this bullet or else it's mush midriff for the heroine. Rider's enchanted armor around her leg area should be able to block and withstand the incoming blow.

It collided, hard, like really hard.

The sound of metal meeting the bare skin of her opponent thuds and echoes within the radius of the forest with such force.

The heroine grunted in pain and felt some of her bones shattering from high impact of her opponent's inhuman strength the moment it struck. If it wasn't for her armor it could be much worst, and the word 'worst' is an understatement from the predicament she is in.

Now for the separation, Before this brute overpowers her while their legs was caught in a crosslock, Rider sucks up the pain and harness an explosive attack on her fist, converting her previous elbow strike into a palm strike with no wasted movement. Rider's motion was so fluid and such thing of beauty its like you are watching a classic kung-fu movie.

With a swift palm push strike and little space to respond, She strikes her opponent's rib cage based on the angle they are in right now. With that hit, A Qi explosion follows, She pushes herself off her opponent, propelling herself backwards from the force right before her foe has the chance to grapples her. This technique normally pushes back the enemy with the lethal strike of your palm, but in this case, it's hard to do that if your foe is sturdy as a rock and just won't budge. So instead of using it offensively, Rider goes for the defensive effect of this art.

Rider controls her landing from the force and center herself once again. The Heroine performs a stance, fist forward, bounces up and down like video game character, shaking loose the tremendous pain of her broken leg and seemingly asking for more.

was she enjoying this?

Be like water, Shapeless.

Slither like a Snake, and weave.

Stalk like a Tiger. Crouch, and pounce.

One of the many mimicries of Rider's arts.

Rider's kicks were a 'no sell' to the towering man and believe me, she is well aware of that as she notices that her opponent just shrug it off like it was nothing.

She knows she has to work harder and smarter to topple her enemy. Rider smirks of the challenge of besting a mountain before her. Sounds fun I do love a challenge.

The armored heroine doesn't easily lose heart about such inconvenience nor the determination to strike again. She knows she has to be better. Her martial arts isn't the level of a kung fu master perse that can take one's life with just one hit, and yet, she wishes to achieve that with her perseverance and self-discipline, slowly aiming to reach that zenith of her practiced skill. Anyways, enough about that, let's back to the battle.

The opposing juggernaut was not playing around and responded with a strike on its own, coming at her like a mad bull.

The punch her enemy threw was easily telegraph in a way. Perhaps too easy? Nevertheless, Rider has to counter.

Like a nimble boa and inches away from her enemy, Rider dances with danger, only grazing her armor with the length of her opponent's arm aim at the center.

She twists and turns, and crouch herself underneath the length of her opponent's arm.

The Heroine balance herself and prepares to deliver a devastating blow given that opportunity. She stomps her pivot foot on the ground, centering herself, harnessing the Qi around her. You can feel the ferocity of a Tiger radiating from Rider's presence.

She performs a stance once again, prepping her elbow as a form of a deadly weapon.

Bless by the art of her bravery, the sturdiness of her armor padding around her joint and a kung fu technique that bypass layers brought to you by the martial artists of the world's no.1 country. This explosive short-range strike is nothing to scoff about.

Targeting her opponent's collar bone head on, This seemingly simple forward elbow strike is much more devastating than it looks. It targets the soul, rather than the physical body, rapturing the body from the inside, causing pain and trauma deep within their spirit.

Even tho her stat is not optimal based on the feats of her strength, it's enough to maim an opponent due to the severity of its technique.

Bones will break and blood flow will stop from this art. That is if it connects towards her opponent.

Not much of a talker, eh? Respectable.

Clearly, this servant has free its mind and seemingly focused on other things, perhaps, he's playing a ruse seeing it's just standing there idly as if he's baiting Rider to attack him.

That, or just plain confident about its size.

It doesn't matter.

No more foreplay.

Strike first, Strike hard, No mercy.

With a twist of her pivot foot, Rider instantly dashes in a blink of an eye, almost becoming a blur to some. Despite wearing her armor, Her movements are not hindered. With the agility of a monkey, Rider makes the gap closer to the towering man much effortless than it seems.

She gets in the face of her opponent and with a fluid motion, She performs a nimble cartwheel, following with two ax kicks while spinning away to from a short distance.

The kicks she left were precise and deadly, both of which were aiming for her opponent's head. the first kick was designed to knock off his helmet to reveal his identity and the second, knocking some sense into her enemy by hitting him straight in his jaw.

"Too good to introduce yourself, huh? typical men and their high horse"

It's about time.

Rider expects a country inferior to hers to have some sort of redeeming quality, that they would be much bolder and punctual when facing a challenge from another more directly.

Sad to say, she was expecting too much. Nevertheless, better late than never I supposed.

"You're a big guy, This should be fun." She smirks and cracks her head after seeing the absolute unit before her.

"Truth be told, My master sent me to go hunting despite the frigid weather and quite frankly It's not my style to pry on other people's business and never did like straying far away from home. So, I decided an open challenge in the middle of this field to those who are willing." She said, oozing with such arrogance and moxie attitude of a proud warrior.

"I don't know what class you are, but it matters not. I'll level with you, seeing you graciously accepted and trouble yourself coming here." Responding to her opponent's challenge to a fisticuffs, Rider happily oblige and performs a swift and fluid movement of her arms and post a stance, seemingly uncommon with the western part of the world, or is it?

"I'll be your entertainment for this evening, Let us talk with our fist and fight with honor and chivalry," She said, harnessing the flow of nature, being one with the earth itself.

"before we begin, Would it be foolish to know the name of the warrior who stands before me?"
hey there, is there room for one more?

@All


The ballad of Rider is often romanticized and to some point strays away from the actual facts of her legends(?). Different variations, different takes on her tale, almost muddled to a certain degree. But one thing is absolute about her stories: the description of her unyielding courage echoes throughout the heart of her countrymen and is definitely well known for.

No more hiding, time to get to know the other servants first hand.

Instead of scouting, why not make the others come to her? it's much easier that way, right?

Rider spins her flag and plants it on the ground. 'Whoosh' outcomes a howling wind, making the trees in the area rustle like crazy.

Her strange aura emits in the middle of the forest of Montana, letting her presence known to those who can pick up within the radius of her current location.

Was Rider craving for a death wish this early? eh, you could say that, or perhaps this was part of her unorthodox tactics. Either way, She solely went on this quest to somehow buy more time for her master's preparations back home. Truly a rebellious individual this ambiguous warrior is.

Fortune favors the bold as they say. An invitation was set to those who participate in this holy grail war. Come what may, friend or foe, greater than her or not. It doesn't matter and quite frankly she doesn't care. Come, test your might or just let your presence known those who come to investigate this area.

A mysterious soldier coated in metal stands firm and awaits in the midst of the white forest.
