Metal_Sabre assumes a loose fighting stance, his blade drawn back in his right hand. His eyes focus in on Derianur, barely blinking as they watch the Squire's every movement.
Derianur takes a back stance, his sword pointing down and diagonally backward. Me starts walking slowly towards Metal_Sabre his eyes watching carefully his opponent and searching for the "Four Openings" – the areas to aim at in combat, his right side, his left side above the belt, his right and left sides below the belt. When he draws near enough he abruptly springs forth, his left leg remaining behind and thrusting his balde aiming for the Knights flank just under the ribs.
Metal_Sabre ducks very low, Derianur's attack narrowly missing the top of his head. His fingers expertly twirl around his sword until the weapon is upside down within the Azure Knight's grasp. Now low to the ground and in very close proximity of Derianur, Metal_Sabre swings the sword upward with an uppercut motion aiming for the armpit of the elf's unequiped arm with the shimmering blade.
Derianur's sword misses it's taget but he doesn't abort his leap but even uses his left leg that remained behind to push off the ground flying over Metal_Sabre a moment before his sword slashes the air behind him with a hiss. The Squire lands on his palms and rolling over he stands up turnig instantly to Metal_Sabre, who is still crouching. He makes a giant step towards him Raising his sword and swiping downwards and diagonally at his right shoulder.
Metal_Sabre senses the blade looming downard towards his shoulder, as his momentum from his previous attack carries his right arm's deltoid muscle even closer to the longsword. Metal_Sabre follows through with the uppercut with an even deeper, upward swing than initially intended, until his sword is parallel with the back of his head. The sound of metal clanging rings throughout the edge of the forest as Metal_Sabre's and Derianur's swords meet. Metal_Sabre follows through with the momentum of the recoil, pivoting around and twirling his sword back around to an upright position. Metal_Sabre continues the momentum of the spin, performing a full three hundred sixty degree spin. As he comes around to face Derianur he swings his sword out in a horizontal attack, aiming for Derianur's right side.
Derianur falls down to his right knee, holding the longsword firmly with both hands and twisting the blade to his right side pointing downwards and thus parrying the horizontal cut of the Knight's sword. The very same moment when the two blades meet the Velvet squire twirls his arms to the left causing his sword to describe a full arc and bringing the blade of the Azure Knight to the ground. Derianur quickly steps on it with his left foot and swings his sword back aiming at the Metal_Sabre's neck.
Metal_Sabre quickly shifts to his left, narrowly avoiding the Velvet Squire's attack, but still making sure to keep hold of his sword. He then grabs his blade with both hands, hoping that Derianur is as light as he looks, and that he as just as strong as he thinks. Muscles tighten, and veins protrude in Metal_Sabre's arms as he wrenches his blade upward, though not merely to slide it out from under Derianur's foot. Trying his best to keep the blade so that Derianur's foot remains above it, Metal_Sabre hefts it up in order to throw Derianur into a most awkward position. He then releases his left hand's grip on the blade and jerks it back, then stabs forward with his right arm, aiming straight for the bridge of Derianur's nose.
Derianur swings back when he is being thrown by the powerful Knight. He arches back placing his hands on the ground, the sword of the Azure Knight passing only an inch above his face and using the momentum of the thrust, Derianur gets to his feet with a flip. He then quickly swings forth producing a powerful upward cut towards the middle section of Metal_Sabre's body intending to cut open his chest.
Metal_Sabre subconsciously nods in an approving manner of Derianur's attack. He turns to his right, the sword scraping lightly against his breastplate. Metal_Sabre falls to the ground on his right side, immediately performing a barrell roll to the right and up to his feet, facing Derianur's back from a few yards away. He abruptly flings his sword as hard and fast as he can towards the Velvet Squire's right side.
Derianur senses the upcoming attack and simply falls down to a push up stance the sword hurtling above and past him. he stands up and smiles to Metal_Sabre "I think we had enough for today...I am still not as strong I would like to withstand a long battle against a Knight"
Metal_Sabre says [to Derianur] : Very well; I must be off as well. I have to say I am very impressed though.
Metal_Sabre makes his way over to the tree his sword had imbedded itself in and pulls it out.
