"Let us then." Arti flew forward, appearing in front of her. Kotoha quickly spun around, sliding down in the meantime, dodging below him, placing a hand on the ground.
"Steel pipe!" She shouted as a steel pipe shot up from the ground, hitting Arti in the stomach, sending him flying backward. Arti made a backflip, moving his leg up into the air.
"Crossbow second form, piercing arrow!" He kicked the air, sending out a shockwave hitting Kotoha through the shoulder, making her fall back. He landed on the ground, flying toward her with all his might.
"My palm commands-" She slammed her hand on the ground, dragging it over the ground, using the momentum from the piercing shot that flung her.
"Caltrops!" She summons a lot of the spikes. Arti heard them cling against the ground, jumping into the air.
"Right where I wanted you." Kotoha quickly moved her hand into the air.
"Spear!" She shot out a spear from her hand, piercing him through the chest.
"AH!" Arti's eyes flinched, but he didn't stop. He moved a foot straight up into the air.
"Crossbow fourth form guillotine!" He slammed his foot into her head, making her slam face-first into the ground, bouncing up into the air for a moment.
"Endure!" She screamed in her mind, kicking off the ground, breaking the wheel on her rollerblade, jumping up at him.
"Wire!" She shouted, screaming a wire between her two hands, swinging it around his neck, flying over him, pulling down as he bent backward, and she choked him, sitting on the ground on the other side of him.
"A-Armor!" he said as his body tightened. He moved his neck forward, breaking the wire in two, turning toward her as fast as he could.
"Shockwave!" She shouted, holding up her hand in front of his face, sending a shockwave out, making him fly away.
"His armor is short but powerful. Have to rethink my ideas." Kotoha said, throwing her rollerblades away now that one was broken.
"I can't afford to put a new pair on. He is coming!" She thought as the goliath flew out of the rubble, swinging his arm up into the air.
"Katana fourth form-" He flew toward her.
"Steel walls!" She moved her hand forward, creating a long row of steel walls. He threw his hands up against them, spinning around, swinging his arms into the air.
"Whirlwind!" The plates broke apart, but he didn't reach her.
"Molotov!" She shouted, throwing it through the debris of the metal, hitting him, setting him on fire.
"One thing his body can't armor is fire." She thought, running away as she had a bit of breathing room.
"I just have to focus on that!" She grinned
"Okay, now to put the plan into motion." She spread out her arm.
"My palm commands. Oil!" She let the oily liquid leak out of her arm, making it spread out over the floor as she ran. She looked behind him as he swung his body around, writhing in agony from the fire.
"I don't have time to scream!" Arti shouted as he stomped the ground, ignoring the fire on him.
"Crossbow fifth and final form-" He moved his hand back, making it flat and lie horizontally.
"Oh no." Kotoha quickly turned around, using her other hand to create walls again.
"Steel walls!" She shouted, creating as many as before.
"Ravenous bolt!" He punched the air, sending out a powerful compressed shockwave. It bore through the steel walls with ease and hit Kotoha, sending her flying into the air, blood leaking from her mouth, stomach, chest, and arms. She quickly spun around.
"My palm commands mass production. OIL!" She spun around as much as she could, sending the black liquid everywhere. She landed on the ground, feeling the stinging pain all over her body. Arti sniffed the air.
"I see what you are doing." Arti stormed toward her.
"And I won't let you. Katana third form-" He got as close to her as possible before swinging his hand forward.
"Eye of the storm!" He roared as the wind shot out to all sides, making the oil blast out into the corners of the arena.
"S-shit." Kotoha thought. Arti stomped the ground, running toward her.
"Steel lances!" She roared, slamming her hands on the ground, sending out an army of steel spears toward him.
"Armor form!" he shouted, breaking the spears as they touched him.
"Here goes!" She stood up, throwing something into the air—an arrow on fire.
"My palm commanders. Fire rain!" She shouted as she created a bubble of metal around her again. The arrow hit the oil in the air. She had thrown a lot into the air also, and the katana form had sent it further into the air, spreading it apart. All of it was ignited, making it rain with fire around them. Arti's body got burned as he looked around. The fire hit the oil in the corners, making the arena a giant blazing fire sphere. Kotoha quickly kicked off the metal sphere and ran out, trying to run away to get some distance.
"It hurts," Arti said, sweating and panting for air as the fire around him was hot.
