Real Terror?

Now that he had caught the trick behind it even if he wasn't exactly sure what it was he knew how to dodge. Though it wouldn't make this fight any easier. It would only make it possible now. Catching his breath he steadied himself once again because this time around he would charge into her range and block her previously unseen blow. One thing he also noticed though is thankfully she never left a certain range of her surroundings which thankfully gave him time to take quick breaks in between.

Preparing himself he started rushing forward while gather Astral Energy in his arms and legs again preparing to block the attack and hit her.

Closer.

Closer.

Closer.

Finally he was in range once again of her attack but this time instead of instantly attacking her he backed up slightly and watched as a Branch sprouted from the ground where he stayed and quickly grabbed it

"It's not as fast as I thought it'd be thankfully."

Breathing a sigh of relief he quickly rushed toward the Nature Spirit after grabbing the branch that already sprouted. Just as he got in range to land a full hit on her without an Astral Energy extension though he got nailed in the side once again.

*Crack*

This time around though he heard a small cracking sound as he got hit and was pushed back once again.

"Damn, There's more then one. Should've known better."

Since he'd only been attacked by one the past couple of times or so he thought, he let his guard down slightly against another one and ended up getting hit again and this time it did a lot more significant damage then the last time because of already being hit a couple times in the same spot.

"It'll heal eventually but not anytime soon..."

Shaking off the pain slightly he threw himself forward in a desperate attempt to hit her while he was still in relative range of her. Though the hit he threw out was an extension of his energy unlike what he attempted before. But there was no helping it seeing as how he was pushed back slightly.

*Bang*

Surprisingly, he actually ended up landing a hit for the first time in this battle. He watched her get smacked by his energy and stagger back while jumping back himself to get out of her range quickly.

"Ouch, at least I did some damage this fight finally."

He ended up hitting her right in the shoulder. She even ended up letting out a yelp after getting hit so his attack did some good damage at least.

"I may of hit her but I need to think of something to deal with her surprise attacks from the ground."

He knew how she hit him but if there was more than one he couldn't deal with it properly and hit her at the same time. So now his biggest problem was trying to figure out how to do such a thing. It might be possible to just deal with all her hits and not get thrown back but that could be really dangerous or he could attempt to get as close as possible and unleash his Astral Energy in an attempt to push her out of the area she loved to stay in.

When in the Fabrication Stage your Astral Energy becomes more solid and condensable so it was definitely possible to do such a thing but it still involved him getting a harsh beating.

"But will that do anything?"

She didn't leave that area but it didn't specifically mean she couldn't or didn't want to. In the end it could end up being a risky gamble that has no worth in it.

"I need to speed myself up a little bit though because our speeds are fairly equal."

If he wanted to even attempt this though he'd need a little speed boost to avoid the branches and what not to not get beaten or else he might as well just go with the first strategy instead because it would be more beneficial and less risky.

This whole time she still hadn't left her zone. Which led him to believe more and more that something beneficial could happen for him if she did.

"hmmm...I could push myself forward maybe?"

He could push himself forward with his Astral Power but, that would make him lose his footing and basically just throw him forward. If he failed it was over for him because he'd just be a sitting duck. Even so was worth a shot unfortunately. With that he made up his mind to take the gamble and see what would happen.

Having said that he started to rush forward and release some of his energy behind him while the rest he prepared for later to push her out of her zone. After getting in her range once again he blocked the first Branch that came at him and kept going ignoring the other after blocking. Getting closer again he slightly jumped and while doing so he pushed himself with his Astral Energy set up behind him flinging him forward. With this he was able to speed up and ended up dodging the other branch that came at him.

"Did It!"

Now that he dodged the second one he was absolutely confident he could push her.

After a split second passed he was in front of her once again but instead of going for an attack he unleashed all his stored up Astral Energy and pushed it in front of him in her direction.

*Boom*

His energy ended up smacking her like she plummeted face first into an iron wall and flew backwards about 10 meters and just barely left her zone.

"Yes."

He successfully did it and to even prove it had some effect on her he noticed the branches that were behind him before chasing after him stopped moving altogether and plummeted back to the ground like normal branches once again.

"So that's why."

It turned out his gamble paid off seeing as how she couldn't attack him anymore and would have to fight him head on instead. Though after that he ended up slamming into the ground himself while slightly staggering to catch himself. After a couple of seconds though he slightly recovered and stood up once again and faced the Nature Spirit. Though once he did that he was a little regretful. The whole time he had been fighting her she always had a smile on her transparent face but now that he'd pushed her out of her domain he seemed to have ticked her off because now she was glaring at him while Shrieking.

"KEEHHHG."

"You reap what you sow, I guess.."

Even if was slightly startled by the change though he wasn't too worried because he'd have to fight her anyway and now with her advantage gone it was a lot easier.

"You think you're scary, you stupid Spirit. Heh, I'll show you real terror.

After that he charged at her once again.
