A drop of fresh blood appeared within Kanda's right nostril. The bastard's punch wasn't a light one, but the exorcist wasn't about to give the young lord commander the satisfaction as to recognize it's strength. He allowed the red liquid to make its way down towards his upper lip, this was no time to be distracted. Kanda's eyes focused on his enemy and the arrow that was aimed towards him. The strong wind made it difficult to aim with a bow and arrow, yet it didn't stop Snow. He must be very confident to take out a weapon like that in a situation like this. With both hands the exorcist held his sword in a traditional kendo style. His long blue hair was blown sideways, forced by the strong wind the duo was catching. Jon released the arrow, and even though the wind was blowing strong it was heading straight for the exorcist, Kanda gracefully dodged the arrow with minimal movement, as if he wasn't even trying. The lord commander once again drew Longclaw, "Alright then, let us settle this with our swords" and he waved Kanda over.
During their brief exchange of metal Kanda quickly realized this young man, in dressed in black, was well trained in the art of sword fighting. The exorcist took the first step towards Jon, eyes locked onto his opponent. The moment the wind was subdued for a moment the Japanese swordsman stepped in with high speed for his attack. The high speed took Jon by surprise, hadn't it been for Ser Alliser Thorne's teaching with the sword Kanda's low attack would've caused his stomach to be split open. Longclaw held mugen at bay as Kanda followed up his initial attack by several more slashes. The beautiful glow of silver cut through the darkness of the night in front of Jon's eyes. Step by step Jon was forced backwards until there was no longer enough ground to walk backwards to. Jon's foot slipped off the edge and he lost his balance, an opening Kanda gladly used to force his knee into the crow's chin. The brother of the night's watch fell down several feet before feeling his back hit the floor.
Laying stretched on the ground Jon looked upwards, towards the full moon that was lighting up the night sky. Kanda walked up to the edge where Jon slipped, breaking the moonlight's path towards the bastard's face. The glare within Yu's eyes, looking down at Jon, was terrifying. There was no reasoning with this man, he clearly had but one goal. Jon's eyes widened as he witnessed a blue energy coating the stylish Japanese sword and creating a second sword within his right hand. Both swords were bound together with the same energy. "Second illusion, Double Illusion Sword "mumbled Kanda, not breaking eye contact.
Jon held his sword tight, he could guess what was coming. " Great, more strange magic". The exorcist initiated his attack, jumping down with his swords at the ready to slash. The black cloaked brother reacted immediately, rolling out of the way before the sharp weapons penetrate his skin. A clash of metal hitting stone was heard during the roll. It was Mugen crashing down on the cold hard stone floor. The crow came to a stop against the wall. But Kanda closed the gap quick enough.
The innocent filled sword got raised into the sky. Jon's eyes started to show actual fear. Even though death may not matter much here, it isn't a fun experience either. Mugen cut through the air straight towards the lord commander yet its descent got interrupted by the ground that suddenly started shaking, making Kanda lose his balance. A loud mechanical noise filled the overly large maze and the walls started to slowly move towards each other. Kanda noticed the maze turning against the rivals and decided to make a run for it, no way that he would lose by getting flattened by this mechanical trap. Jon picked up his trusted sword and got up, it was clear to him as well, he had to get out, and fast. He turned to the same direction as his opponent, but before he could start the chase he heard a mean sounding growl behind him. Jon turned his head and saw the four legged creature running towards him, it's engineered tail was crushing the stone walls as it was flailing behind the creature. The lord commander wasn't about to wait and see what was going to happen. He rushed through the ever shrinking pathway. The strange and loud noises behind him made him run even faster.
Kanda made it out of the pathway, he was looking back into it ,waiting for the man in black to appear. In the distance he saw the moon's light reflecting off of Longclaw as his target approached. It wasn't long before he noticed the machine following Jon as well. "Perfect" Kanda thought. The exorcist made a horizontal slash through the air, the energy it left behind started to take the form of a demonic looking worm. The illusion started to take shape, it shrieked loudly and charged Jon head on. With enemies both in front and behind him , the lord commander was trapped. But there was no choice, the walls were closing in on him, only one way to go, forward, straight towards Kanda.
