Lian, caught in surprise with how quickly he could move to adjust himself, yelped and skinned her leg on one of the spikes on the shoulder, and continued to fly forward, tumbling as she hit the ground. She popped back up as the skidding stopped after the fall and she positioned herself for something with a little more kick.
Despite how the leg twinged she stood in a spread legged position, her hands above like she was cradling a ball of some sort. What grew in her hands was a ball of bright black light, twisting and writhing in her palms. Lian chanted what would be her next move:
'Darker then twightlight,
it's redder then blood,
With the passage of time, the great name hath been buried.
I vow to the light,
the brillance of the name be set in motion.
I pray to thee to lend me the strength,
to oppose the hand that fight against the light....'

In truth, Kar had to suppress the urge to ask 'are you alright, miss Lian' before taking another action... but this was a battle, after all, and if anyone knew the importance of maintaining an appropriate mindset in battle it was this man.
He dipped in his left knee to help him pivot faster, turning around quickly to bring his stance back to what it had been before Lian's initial attack, but facing her new position. As he completed the turn, he brought his right fist down just as his left had earlier; slamming down into the earth with tremendous force.
Immediately, as if it had been summoned up by that strike, a four foot tall jet of flame shot out from the earth and flew forwards along the ground in a straight line towards the opponent.

Lian blinked in surprise but continued the spell, bringing her arms down and aiming it for the opposite side of the arena. The ball narrowed down to a single small beam before shooting a blast that spread and encompassed the other half of the arena, melting and boiling at the dirt on the ground beneath, around and the air about him. However the area, about the side of a child's swimming pool kept Lian safe from the heat.
The blast pushed through the jets of flame which only added to the mass amount of heat, almost equivalent to a Supernova but had enough punch to probably take a good chunk out of a chain of mountains up north. Lian braced herself from the aftershock as it struck and struggled to keep at her feet.

Suffice it to say, the arena itself was in poor shape after something that could be likened to a supernova.
Dirt, rubble, smoke and fire all seemed to rain down on the field at once; everything and anything not nailed down would have been blasted by something like that. Even the spectator seating at the far end of the area had a sizable chunk taken out of them, though that hole was quickly filling as pieces of the crumbled upper section were falling from the broken wall into the hole.
The arena floor, as well, seemed as if it had been cut straight in two. A deep gash had been carved into the stone beneath the sand, and the sand itself was nowhere in sight. From the center of the arena and all the way to the broken wall, where it finally ended with the point of Kar's Blackfang sword embedded halfway into the stone floor; the man himself holding the hilt in both hands as he stood behind it with one foot pressed back against what little remained of the wall base.
The man, unlike everything else, was not broken, and he was not scorched like the puddles of glass that remained on the floor as a reminder that sand had once been there.
A flame could not burn a flame, after all.
"Little Lian," he shouted through the smoke. "I fear I have let your stature sway my expectations. I beg your forgiveness for this."
Kttth-KT!
The weapon tore out of the ground, and though it was difficult to see through the smoke, Kar was charging back in.

"They say big things come in small packages." Lian said panting.
"And I'm not little! Call me a short microscopic small fry again and you'll regret it!"
She got back in a fighting stance, looking through the smoke for any large looming figures that might look like a bull charging straight foreward. She heard something to the right and back off to the left, raising her left hand just at her hip as energy started to build once again around her.

He came out of the smoke, running just as she had predicted; like a bull charging straight forward. To close the distance, a straight line was best, the only reason not to run straight ahead would be to avoid an incoming attack, or one that was expected to be coming. Kar had seen what she was capable of now, but he had also seen that the little woman took time to prepare her big spells. If anything was coming he should be able to see signs of it in her actions before any other signs were given.
If she didn't move, he was likely to trample right over her.

Lian with a squeak took off quickly into the smoke to at least hide herself till her leg could heal or she could gather more energy into that hand. Without any wind there was really no chance that the smoke would clear so quickly. That was good for her and probably the opponent despite his size.
She heard him charge past the spot where she had once stood, gathering more spiritual energy in her hand once more, the intensity of it making sparks along her arm, lapping long her clothes and making her hair rise slightly.

It was that spiritual energy that gave her position away, though. Even though he could not see where she was hiding, and she was not chanting a spell as she had been before, she was still charging magical energies in preparation for something.
Kar turned in her direction and continued as he had before, running like a warhorse trying to trample an enemy. At first he wasn't running directly for her, but the more he ran the better his aim seemed to get.
He could smell her from where he was. The magic she was holding left a trail from where she had been to where she was now, and all he had to do to find her was sniff out that trail like a bloodhound.

Lian continued running, eventually running into wall. She could hear the thumps of his footsteps running around as she moved. Quickly she examined the problem and started running around, creating massive long trails that interesected each other, stopping every few seconds to leave a ball of energy that hovered in place till there was a ring around the arena.
She paused somewhere close to the center of it and waiting for the thuds to come from either direction. The balls of energy were meant to confuse with the energy she had gathered in her hand, the streams to confuse the direction of where she had run. Now all she had to do is wait for the fish to take the bait.

Only... the fish did not take the bait.
"I'm sorry," he called out through the smokescreen, "I've been suddenly called away."
And then he was gone.
(( Sorry about that but... I've suddenly become sick to death of this place. xp ))
