Far Enough

Ryu lowered his blade slightly and he vanished, appearing on one of the few trees remaining in the region. His expression didn't seem to be one of victory, but it wasn't one of fear either. 

Right then, Ramon fell out of the air, his clothes shredded to pieces and his skin covered in dense, but thin lines of blade marks. He looked to be in a sorry state, and he was, but Ryu could also see that it was very surface level. Ramon had obviously been able to protect himself from the greatest damage, likely relying on some sort of qi shield as his body didn't seem that impressive to Ryu. 

'My Dao is far more useful against actual humans than it has been against the spirits. It's no wonder…'
