Welcome to Gaia! ::

Letum jerked the kunai back towards him as his feet landed on the ground. He took note of Vicer's method of dodging and gave a smirk as he went too come at him again, throwing his kunai up into the air to apparently making a handsign in his free hand as he swung his sword with devastating force to meet with Vicer's blade but the handsign caused his body to convert a portion of chakra to electricity and he could channel it, more specifically into both arms. The electricity traveled up his blade and caused it to buzz and arch with electricity before their blade met but if their blades did meet electricity would pass instantaneously between the two into Vicer's sword and directly into his body, doubtful he had any sort of safe guard against electricity it would send his body into involuntary convulsions and immobilize his body. Seeing as how electricity traveled roughly half the speed of light, without any sort of resistance to it he couldn't avoid it.

Though he had a fail safe, he had secretly channeled a small amount of the electricity into his right hand and up the wire into the kunai that was still speeding upwards into the sky, Vicer was more likely then not unaware of this fact as the kunai had been thrown before he channeled and the katana that surged with electricity was more lethal at a first glance then something that was thrown out of direct sight.

Letum gave a smirk as their blades connected, he could see his muscles seizing up, knowing full well the electricity would race through his body far faster then any of his nerves could combat it. This prevented him from doing any further motions for a short period of time, it would take at least a minute for the convulsion of the muscles to stop, if her survived the current that is. He saw Vicer's blade though explode in a fury and shattered a portion of his own blade and slammed the hilt of his blade against ihs chest, shattering his left arm and sending shrapnel skimming across his flesh as he was thrown back.

He didn't wince though, he had a plan to still get one final attack off while he was thrown back, knowing he wouldn't be able to do much but use his right hand after this and he would need a moment of recovery to regather himself, this was his last effort for the moment. He jerked his right arm down at the ground, fighting against the explosion, scorching his flesh. As he jerked his arm the kunai came hurdling down at the immobilized Vicer, it was lazily aimed to strike his upper body, but it was still charged with electricity and sure to strike. This would cause more nerve damage as well as a mortal wound and prolonged his muscles recovery.

((Mind you again, electricity moves at half the speed of light, roughly. Even if we half it in the case of a jutsu or even quarter the half so it is 1/8 the speed of light the human nerves only travel roughly 30mph, far less then that of the above. Since you accepted the hit, you accept the consequence of the hit and accept the fact that it would immobilize your body for a short period of time. Just to be clear so we have no misconceptions here.))

((I count a minute as a single post, I represent post as a minute in time, roughly at least. It makes it hard to give an accurate post when these standards are not set by a guild, seeing as how many people see things differently. Now of course, what does one post mean? The reply or a post after a reply? See the issue that I run into when making posts that are fair when we have no standards?))

Letum rolled, still weakly grasping his sword, as he hit the ground but quickly forced off his right arm and stood on his feet. "Well, well, you have a bit more of a bite there then I expected." He moved his right hand to take the katana from his left hand, it was to damaged to do much. His shirt was torn and scorched, the exposure only being brief and the shirt blocked enough of it he only had minor burns. His left arm was bleeding and had small cuts on his face that were bleeding but barely, the heat had caused the injuries to already be partially cauterized. The wind would've been knocked out of him but the shockwave from the explosion was weak in comparison to his ability ot take hits and his fist hit the center of his chest, his ribs absorbing the impact and bending to accompany the force."I will break you." He grinned demonically, his personality seeming to take a shift.

"I will make your strength your downfall." He gave a flick of his blade down to severe the wire from the kunai. He was thankful he was right handed, he was trained in both but never showed his dominant hand in a fight due to the fact that it would show his strength, which a smart opponent would attempt to take away.

He took the blade and swiftly sliced it the length of his body in a quick motion, severing his shirt from his body as he moved to cut the sleeves, looking at his blade as roughly the top third had been broken off but he wasn't worried. The cloth fell from his body to settle against the ground, revealing his toned body but it was burned, cut and he had a bruise forming in the center of his chest. The only problem with it all was the fact he was trained to take pain, he was taught to ignore it but because of this, when he took to much of it a second personality of his kicked in. One that was more sadistic as well as pain loving then his ordinary self, appearing more crazed but keeping the same strategic mind, at least up to a point.

He looked at Vicer, his eyes narrowing in on him. "It is a shame you decided to attack high." He took his katana, re-sheathing the broken blade. He grabbed his left arm, he bent his knees some, resting his arm on the inside of his leg as he began to force his broken arm and hand into a slower chain of handsigns as Vicer took the time to recover. The sounds of small chips of bones grinding in his fingers could be heard as they were forced to move by his right hand but his face remained still, the pain only weakly moving through his body, there was a reason why he had specialized in Raiton jutsu.

((Understandable but not everyone is on the same time is the problem that I run into))

Letum smirked as he continued to force his hands into the handsigns for the jutsu. The problem was his bones in his left arm and hand were fractured, he only injured himself further by the forced movements but he didn't care. "Surprised are we?" He only needed a few more moments to finish the chain, he was surprised Vicer didn't take advantage of the moment but he didn't care.

Letum watched as Vicer ran at him, his legs already bent in took a mere flexing of his legs to push off the ground in a back flip, his hands connected in one final seal. As he was mid way through his flipping he suddenly crushed his right hand down onto his left, releasing a loud cracking as he broke his bones into smaller pieces, watching the blade passed under him.

He swiftly landed on the ground. "You must make a sacrifice to gain more." He said as his expression suddenly died, becoming neutral and appearing to die in appearance. His right hand released his left, allowing it to drop as he reached into his pocket as his body seemed to subtly buzz, pulling out a small bag. He tipped the bag as fine metal sand poured from the bag. It wasn't a lot but he was able to increase the amount of metal, bones were made from a metal, calcium, while it wasn't very conductive or reactive to electrical forces he had enough metal and to manipulate it still with the same precision. So, the sand suddenly moved into the air into his left arm, it moved into his wounds, under his control, and began to grind off bits of the bones but not taking so much that it left his arm deformed or would stop the bone from regeneration later. He wasn't able to use his left arm for much anymore, so he might as well add some to his amount of metal sand.

His arm tensed and moved around, he kept his eyes locked on Vicer to help ignore the pain as the metal took from the bones before it pulled out of his body. The metal was now red, unable to determine bone from metal but the amount of metal sand clearly increasing. His methods were twisted, but he simply put to use things that were no longer of use to him.

Letum looked at Vicer as he charged up his chakra. He lifted his right arm up, the metal levitating below his hand. He knew Vicer was unable to melt the metal, even if he did he would simply be splashed with scorching metal if his body was even capable of withstanding temperatures in the thousand of degrees. He flexed his palm out at Vicer as the metla suddenly shot like thousands of tiny bullets speeding at him. Heating the air only reduced the air resistance of the metal, making them faster and unless he had immense control of the air he could simply manipulate it with heat to stop the metal. Though he only sent about half at Vicer it would pierce a half inch into his body before curving back out to make a second wound hole before returning to him, if he didn't avoid it that is. He didn't plan to keep this technique going for more then a few minutes, it continuity to slowly drain his body of chakra, which is why he used such light and fine metal sand to reduce the chakra drain.

Letum watched as Vicer dodged to the side and charged at him, that was his mistake. His hand suddenly flexed and the metal in front of him launched out at Vicer, the little shrapnel moving quickly like a bullet. It only took a mere thought and movement to adjust the fields to move the metal projectiles. Though as the metal struck from the front the metal he dodged earlier had silently split and charged at him from behind and at a spreading angle, making escape to the sides and behind impossible without damage, making the only true escape with out damage above but it was unlikely he was aware of the metal speeding at him from behind. Vicer's forward momentum would cause the metal from in front to strike harder if any of it hit, to pause for a moment to attempt to dodge would mean a hit, he would need to keep his momentum to fully dodge without harm due to the small particles speed.

The metal didn't seem lethal but there was enough that it could cause a combination of problems. Internal hemorrhaging of organs on small scales but spread, tears in muscles and ligament. It was the compiled effects that would cause wide spread pain and disabilities. As he sent out his counter from a distance and prepared his body to react to the mans dodge, only a fool would continue forward, even he did he would draw his katana to block. If he dodged, he would proceed to the second stage of this assault.
