As Ksi draws back his sword it shrinks back down to a more reasonable size. As the whip sparatically coils its way towards him, he shoots back to gain some distance from it. However, he then quickly slashes an X into the air before him, using only his right arm still. Coming off Seiken’s blade once more is holy fire. However this time there’s two of the flying flaming holy blades coming at him in the shape of a large X.

Victor smirked as the whip coiled out and actually -wrapped- around the first flaming blade, manipulating it so that it turned and smashed into the second blade, causing an explosion of holy ether, which wouldn't effect the flame whip very much aside from momentarily blowing it off course, even as it extends further and zips back around towards Ksi. However, as it neared.
"Pyrus, Hydra Tongue!"
He called out as the tip of the whip blossomed out into 8 seperate whips all sprawling out and coming at Ksi, only some were aimed at him, others were aimed at likely places he'd escape to. Using his own vast battle experience he was predicting the most likely places for Ksi to escape to and aim at them with several of the tendrils. The speed of the whip increased even faster.

As the whips come reaching out for him and various locations, he throws his hand out to counter. Before they can reach him, he suddenly opens up eight small portals directly in front of each extension. At the same time, the other ends of each portal appear around Victor, but they’re all pointed directly at him. Thus, Ksi is twisting the space around each whip so that rather than coming at him, they’re now attacking the vampire himself, all at nearly point-blank range. Unless he did something, the count may very well end up being impaled in eight different places by his own whip.

The whips swerved at the last second and started to shoot towards ksi again before Victor stopped them, and they retracted back into a single whip within afew moments, recoiling around his hand.
"I'm afraid it's going to take more then that to make me strike myself with my own weapon. It knows who it's master it."
He said as he let the whip uncoil and it slowly made a large circle around him, moving on it's own it seems.
"The whip attacks the exact space I want it to attack. It's controlled partially by my hand, and partially by my mind."
He stated idly as the whip again recoiled back in his hand after the display.
The Dead Sword hovered around him again before it finally pointed straight at Ksi and shot towards him like a bullet. Moving at incredible speeds as it started to rotate, picking up momentum and force as it could be heard cutting through the air. It was a -very- straightforward attack. As it shot off, his Salamander's Tongue uncurled and lashed through the air around Victor as if waiting for something.

“Heh, I was wondering about that, you see?”
When the Dead Sword comes at Ksi, he shifts to the right with his own incredible speed. However, the sword is still coming at him rather fast, so he uses the still glowing Seiken to parry it away in a spray of etherical sparks, as he moves in the opposite direction. Then he ends up vanishes all together. Right after that he appears an equal distance away from Victor, only off to the vampire’s right now. Aiming his sword at the count, he unleashes a huge beam of holy ether at him, nearly as tall as he is.
Ten~Ha! (Heaven Wave)
Also, at the same time he extends his blade along with the beam, which would be masked within the energy. Thus the concentrated beam of burning purification would also have a highly durable piercing attack in its center.

As Ksi parried the Dead Blade it again shattered into it's own cloud of debris, and took off after him as he vanished and reappeared. As he launched his attack Victor's whip came up and coiled up between him and the energy wave, acting much like a giant spring as the energy collided with it and was momentarily pushed back, naturally this meant that the sword came shooting down the middle. However since it was no longer masked by the energy which was temporarily fended off, Victor dodged out of the way, the whip fading away as the blast was then let loose to shoot past where he was standing previous moments before.
"I tire of this...."
He said as he rubbed his feet together, getting blood on both foot bandages, which then surged and flashed with a dark unholy energy as they fell off.
(3rd Blood seal released. lowest setting)
As that happaned Victor's body was engulfed in a dark energy which flowed and pulsed through his body, causing a new arm to sprout out of his socket. His fangs became more prominent and his muscle mass increased somewhat. His fingers were now also tipped with claws and his dark blue eyes became bright crimson. While this was happening Ksi would be attacked from behind by the Dead Sword field as it passed by him and flew to victor to reabsorb into his body.

As the shards of the Dead Sword come at his back, he retracts his sword and flips back to face them, even as he’s rising higher into the air. Slashing out at any of the small pieces of metal-like debris that may get in his way, energy flashes off of his blade to meet with it. He then continues to flip over the passing storm, as he vaults into Divine Speed, suddenly appearing higher and further away.
He then quickly tenses his body and unleashes a spherical explosion of white translucent ether from his being. With this his wounds are healed, and he looks whole once again. Of course this is just his physical appearance, as he would never directly heal his life-force in the middle of a spar. Sheathing his sword once again, he resumes his battoujutsu stance, hand on hilt and ready to strike.

He slowly flexed his newly increased muscles as he rolled his head from one side to the other, finally noticing the spectator. He gazed at Red for several moments then turned back up to face Ksi.
"Are you ready to take it up a notch?"
He said as he slowly lowered himself into what looked like a beastial stance with all four limbs on the ground as he lowered himself down.

“Does this answer your question?”
Pointing his palms down at the vampire, they begin to glow as ether appears in the air, surging into his hands. Then from his grasp comes a flood of holy ether. Huge energy blast rocket down towards the ground and begin to explode all over the place like a hail of missiles. His arms tremble from the intense recoil from all the blasts, the light flashing off of his hands and onto his face like before. Meanwhile, the ground below is being decimated into a wasteland.

He grinned, showing his more prominent fangs as his eyes narrowed, the pupils turning into slits.
"CELERITY!"
As he said that, his perception of time slowed down, allowing him to move faster and make more precise movements. He zipped back and forth between the energy blasts, looking like a black blur as he dodged and weaved until he got near Ksi, then he vanished, appearing above the Esper with both hands over his head, he'd then try and deliver a jackhammer blow onto the Esper and try to hammer him into the ground, his eyes turning back to normal afterwards. He had essentially gained Divine Speed momentarily through a vampiric ability he possessed.

When Victor reappears, Ksi throws his right arm back, twisting toward the blow. He’s able to catch the attack on his arm, but the force of it is too strong, and his arm is knocked away and he's sent flying down towards the ground. He catches himself before going all the way down, however. He then draws Seiken and throws it into the air above him. The sword flips quickly upward and then vanishes in a blinding flash. When the light fades, there would then be a storm of holy swords in the air around Victor. The swords all looked to be made of holy ether, and came in all shapes in sizes. Not a moment after they appear, they then all surge inward, trying to impale Victor all over his body. If the majority of the swords were to penetrate his body, they would have a very powerful binding affect. After the spell has gone off, he speaks in a calm voice.

As the swords appeared around him and shot towards him he started to spin in a circle at super speed, his claws extending and turning black with unholy energy.
"DEVIL'S TEMPEST!"
He yelled out as he started to slash and claw at the air around him, sending out blades of unholy energy in all directions to counter the various blades shooting at him. Normally this would be an attack, but he was using it defensively in this instance.

The moment the vampire stops his rotation, Ksi’s left hand shoots out and he clenches his fist as if he’s grabbing something. For Victor it would feel as if a giant hand were wrapping around his whole body. Ksi holds on tightly, not wanting to let the count free.
“Now sit there like a good boy, won’t you?”
Ksi mumbles to himself as he prepares for his next attack. Lifting his right hand upward quickly then, his main two fingers extended towards the sky above.
“Ascension Cannon!”
From the ground comes a massive wave of holy ether. The column blasts upwards towards the heavens in a blinding flash of speed and light. The pillar of ether is easily large enough to completely envelope Victor, as it comes from directly beneath him. Ether particles also seem to be spiraling around the column of energy as it surges upward. Meanwhile, Ksi’s sword ends up reappearing in its sheath, as if it had been there all along.

He'd grin.
"Hrm"
His muscles would suddenly surge as he'd exert INCREDIBLE force against the telekinetic field holding him. If Ksi was busy firing off an attack he wouldn't have the control nessecary to fight him back. He was exerting enough force to break metal as he burst free of the Invisible hand.
"GRAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
He'd laugh as the ether beam engulfed him. His body seemingly vaporizing in the massive blast. When the beam passed by, Ksi wouldn't be able to sense ANY of Victor's energy, it was like he had actually been vaporized.

It seemed Ksi’s left hand was forced open in the process, but after Victor is seemingly vaporized, he looks shocked for a moment. However, he quickly regains his composure and begins to look about, extending his senses all through the warded area, trying to locate the vampire.
“At our current level, that attack shouldn’t be enough to completely incinerate him, at least not that I know of. Granted, I imagine suffering the full force of it could seriously injury him, as he is a vampire after all, but still. I bet he’s up to something sneaky, as usual. Damn, where’d he go.”
His eyes dart back and forth as he tries to find the count.
