cosmiccowgirlRyuunosuke VS Siegfried
Ryuunosuke's expression remained the same, and without wasting anymore time, accepted Siegs invitation. Without hesitating, the young man shot towards the cursed dragon, stopping just in front of him, opening with a wide swing towards his head - an act that the Dragon didn't seem to acknowledge as a threat, as he simply impulsioned his head, directly shocking it against the seemingly harmless punch.
As the fist connected, a wave of chakra flooded out, in an amount not even comparable to the love tap Ryuunosuke gave him back in the clubroom. Asides bypassing physical defenses, the energy strengthened the human's blow to the point that even a strong middle class demon would be left reeling and naturally didn't have any trouble with breaking the thin aura that covered the dragon's skin, forcing Siegfried back staggering as he tried to deal with the unexpected blow, quickly managing to get on feet after rolling through the ground once as he relied in his superior physiology to come out relatively unscathed - albeit visibly shaken and dirtied.
Not wasting the opportunity, Ryuunosuke followed up with a rough, but powerful kick, aiming squarely for the dragons chest, only to hit unexpected resistance, as the Dragon managed to put his right arm in the way of the blow, using his physical skills and the thin golden aura - now clearly stronger than in the previous exchange - that covered his body to guard himself from the human's technique.
His opponent spared no time on thinking about the aura that now resisted his abilities as his body instinctively moved to work around it. If disrupting his ki no longer worked, then he would simply focus it all into himself.
Recognizing that the dragon was stronger than him, he opted out of grappling his arm in a contest of strength, and instead placed his leg on it, using the arm as a balance for an outrageous pivot that set up a second kick, this time aimed for his head. He flooded more ki into the blow, enhancing his strength even further than before - until the blow faced another unexpected obstacle as, rather than trying to block or dodge, the Dragon directly met the kick with his head, using the layer of golden aura to take away part of the blow's strength before directly meeting his opponents leg with a headbutt in the attempt of making him lose his equilibrium.
Ryuu smirked, surprised but approving of Siegs blunt method of nullifying his blow. It was something he himself would do after all.
In turn, as Siegs head met with his leg, he let the force roll through it, letting his body turn with the flow. As his upper body went down, he planted one hand firmly on the ground and turned to the side, continuing the twisting motion with his other leg in order to throw an equally powerful blow to the back of his opponents head. The Dragon didn't even try to react though, once more using his golden aura to dampen the damage as he moved, twisting his own leg to strike the human's thorax with all the brute strength he could gather at that moment - that, while far from what it was in his peak, was still absurd to the point where even a high class devil could barely equal him - in an attempt to push the inconveniently flexible human away from himself.
Ryuu frowned mentally as he felt his blow once again dampen against his foe on impact. If things kept up this way he'd have problems in the long run.
At the moment, however he was more concerned with the kick that was attempting to bury his chest into the ground.
Reacting on instinct, he took a page out of Siegs book, and raised his hand to meet the incoming blow. Unlike Sieg, however, he didn't have the raw power to directly halt it. Instead, just as his hand came into contact with the opposing limb, he pushed against it catapulting him backwards and putting a great deal of space in between them.
Rolling back on his feet, Ryuunosuke straightened up and shot an amazed smile at his opponent.
"Hot damn, I knew it was a good idea picking a fight with you!"
His expression was one of childish glee, not unlike that of a child receiving a long overdue Christmas present.
Siegfried took the moment of leisure provided by the human's retreat to once more straighten his posture, directing a glance that held a mix of curiosity and annoyance towards Ryuunosuke as he voiced something that made the Dragon wonder if he was right in the mind.
"Are you sure that you're a human? You're crazy to the point where I reckon having fought quite a few beasts that were considerably less bloodthirsty and more rationality than what you've shown..."
The golden aura that previously formed a thin armor around the Dragon suddenly surged from his body, assuming the appearance of a ominous golden hue that surrounded his body before he once more glanced at the human, this time without any attempt of withholding the arrogance of the Dragon as he smirked, bringing a sense of pressure to any being with keen instincts near the area.
"It's a shame that you're still too weak though... Even bloodthisthy beasts should know their place in the food chain."
The other boy closed his eyes, a strangely distant smile on his face.
"I thrive on that weakness!" he jubilantly shouted, staring straight into Siegfrieds eyes. "It's so-ooo much more fun to fight when you're outclassed. That thrill when you feel death coming at every turn, the joy of lasting just one second longer! Don't tell me you've never felt that?" He exhaled deeply, reigning in the tremble of excitement that threatened to surge through him.
The pressure Sieg emitted bounced off Ryuunosuke as though it wasn't there to begin with. In fact, he looked more eager than ever.
Settling back into a fighting stance, he said, "Oh, and I'm 100% human. You wouldn't be the first to get it wrong though. You won't be the last either." He ended, crooking a finger invitingly towards him. The challenge was implicit - your turn.
