Raiden slammed Keqing's head onto the arena wall, but quickly pinned her and started dragging her face across whilst he flew.

Keqing struggled to get a grip on Raiden's arm and released an electro pulse to force him back.

She fell back to the ground, landing on both feet and rubbed the part of her face that had been dragged against the wall as Raiden floated above her, 'I made up my mind. I will not make this any easier for you than you will for me. So if you want to beat me...'

"BRING IT ON!"

Keqing dashed through a pre placed flash orb beside Raiden, but she was met with an uppercut that would have hit her if it weren't for quick reflexes.

"I know all your tricks, everything that worked on me before will not be as easy for you to execute"

Raiden charged in and ducked a kick that Keqing sent. He quickly tried to grab her again, but was pushed back by a flurry of electro.

For the next few exchanges, Raiden seemed to be more on the defensive and Keqing knew that his goal was to stall and make her spend energy unnecessarily.

The small exchanges continued where Raiden carefully blocked and dodged Keqing. If Keqing used something like a flash orb or energy infused attack, it was a bonus for him, but not all attacks were avoidable as Keqing managed to catch Raiden with an electro shockwave.

Raiden lifted his leg and did a push kick to send Keqing back. He then got ready to take off into the air to reposition, but the moment he started floating up Keqing managed to grab ahold of his leg and pulled him down.

Raiden didn't panic and immediately changed up his plan, 'This is actually better for me'

After figuring out his next move, he ascended with full speed into the sky with Keqing still holding on. She attempted to shock him midair, but was unable to as Raiden was flying straight to the wall and just as he was about to collide with it, he made a sharp turn and swung his leg to slam Keqing against it and caused her to let go.

The moment she hit the ground, 2 wind blades were already on their way and Keqing only managed to roll out of the way before Raiden dove straight in with a swirling strike.

Keqing moved her head out the way and jabbed at Raiden's ribs twice before he pulled his arm out with a piercing vortex.

As Raiden drove the vortex, Keqing slipped to the side and grabbed ahold of the arm that Raiden used to send his attack, but she was knocked off by a sudden whirl wind that activated on his forearm.
