The Paladin vs The Black Swordsman

[KeotsuEclipse]

THIS IS A CLOSED BATTLE.
Terrain: The Scarlet Jade Caste, atop the Legendary Aincrad floating castle. We stand in the midst of the uppermost floor, a Colosseum like structure that is open to the sky, with the sun shining above. The massive arena has a long-range radius, and two rivers create a cross through the field, dividing it into quarters.

Rules:Ken, Tai, 2 elements and a special ability [if applicable]. Customs, obviously, allowed.

My elements will be Wind and Water. Once Gin-San posts his opening, I will begin the fight.

stands resolute in the midst of the battle field, the few pieces of armor he is wearing gleaming in the sunlight. His blade Mythos and its scabbard having been transformed prior to the fight, into a longsword and arm-mounted shield combo known as the "Liberator." Though he knows he will be the person to make the first move in the battle, he awaits his opponent Kirito, the black swordsman, to show himself.*

 

[Gin-San]

The black swordsman, Kirito, appears in the battlefield. He carries his trusty dual wielding swords, «Elucidator» and «Dark Repulser», which are located on his back. His stern expression is seen from the distance, liberating an aura of killing intent and fighting power.

*Byakugan Activated*

He then, places himself in a fighting position, right leg in front the left by half a meter, center of gravity forward, with left hand on «Dark Repulser» handle.

He then, places himself in a fighting position, right leg in front the left by half a meter, center of gravity forward, with left hand on «Dark Repulser» handle.

"Ah, Kirito-san, you're here at last. Let's see how you fight..."

*With that, Keotsu slowly unsheathes Mythos from it's shield-scabbard, taking a strong stance: his left foot leads a shoulder length in front of his right, his center of mass balanced between the two - he holds his shield forward, with his sword parallel with the ground, and the tip pointing towards you.

Then, quickly stepping forward, he slashes from his upper right to lower left, releasing a blast of wind at you.

Oh, my elements will be Fuuton and Doton.

In quick response to the Paladin's attack, Kirito quickly unsheathes «Dark Repulser» as he channels wind chakra through the sword. He dashes forward as he sees the shock blade traveling toward him. He slashes with a diagonal strike, left to right, up down, ending with the hilt of the sword in his right hip (He quickly flips his risk so that the sharp side faces outward). As is not only B-rank vs B-rank, but B-rank vs B-rank + Added Strength by arm, the Vacuum Blade wins, but just barely. The wind is cut in half, passing by Kirito, just brushing his hair backwards.

"Ughh... Barely" Kirito thought to himself.

Kirito though, does not stop there. Using his momentum, he continues moving forward as he gets ready to slash, closing the distance between him and the Paladin. When the distance is around four meters, Kirito steps hard in the ground, releasing Earth Chakra. Immediately, a pillar is created below the Paladin in front of his right foot, shooting at quick speed upwards, though with a slight angle of of 75 degrees, hitting the arm holding the shield with great force outwards.

"Now is my chance!"

Kirito speeds up, using the small opening to deliver a blow. He slashes horizontally right to left, aiming below the shield (The shield would be elevated), towards the Paladin's left ribs.

*Keotsu prepares himself, tensing the muscles in his legs as Kirito begins his forward approach, slicing through the blade of wind with one of his own.

Just as he was about to take a step backwards, to elongate the time that there was distance between Kirito and himself, suddenly a pillar of earth erupts from the ground, launching Keotsu's shield arm outwards and upwards, exposing his side, as Kirito comes in for a blow.

Pushing off the ground, Keotsu takes a powerful step backwards, while also exhaling his held breath, releasing a burst of wind that accelerates his backwards movement.

(Fūton: Kaze Ogawa no Jutsu) - Wind Release: Wind Stream Technique

Rank: D
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: N/A
Description: This technique allows the user to change direction in mid-air at high speeds by simply blowing wind out their mouth. The user can also use this technique by blowing it at the ground and causing a dust cloud to rise, concealing the users location and movement.

With the wind burst elongating the amount of time that there is a workable distance between the two warriors, Keotsu quickly readjusts the tower-shield, causing Kirito's blade to slam into the wall of steel as the warriors feet touch the ground.

With one of Kirito's blades blocked, Keotsu quickly responds - his sword having been readjusted during his backstep, Keotsu quickly preforms a straight chop, from his right towards the left, aiming to slash his straight blade into Kirito's neck, next to his left shoulder.*

"...his speed is impressive..."

"That shield of yours... It's not over!"

Immediately after hitting your shield with his sword, Kirito flicks his fingers from his right hand (Which at the moment he has across his body), while at the same time directing his hand towards the Paladin's right leg. At amazing speeds, which should be unblockable from such short distance, a wire is sent flying from Kirito's arms, wrapping around the enemy's right leg. Immediately after landing, Kirito uses his forward momentum and with great force rotates his body strongly to the left as he pulls from the wire (Immediately after the Paladin landed, making him lose balance), and continuing his momentum, he rotates at quick speed around his own axis, making the Paladin rotate above the ground. Kirito then finally releases the wire, sending the Paladin airborne several meters (Around six).

Type: Attack
Rank: A
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage: 60
Description: The art of this technique comes from quick flick movements in order to release wires at great speeds toward the opponent, entrapping them. The user, having wire on their hands (previously wrapped around their hands and risks), will hold the end of the wires with their index and middle finger against the thumb. With a quick flick of the fingers and by moving the arm downward at great speed, the user will release ninja wire at great speeds toward the desired target (The threads can be send directly or they can race through the ground).
If there is ninja wire wrapped around the user's legs, the user is able to use the wire with the same skill as if he is using it with his hands. The user will make a quick small rotation, untangling the wire, then by using proper body motion will send the ninja wire the same way as if he had send it with his hands.
The user can channel invisible chakra though the wires in order to make them stronger, making them capable of cutting through solid rock. When it reaches the opponent (in front of him or on his sides) the user will make a swift motion with his arms, wrapping the opponent at great speed, entrapping them. The user can further more pull the strings backward, cutting the opponent.
-Wires are difficult to pinpoint for lower ranked ninjas but can be easily seen by experienced ninjas or Dojuutsu users.
-The user is able to make handseals after capturing the enemy, though is incapable of doing so when the wires are racing through the ground as it requires great concentration to control the direction of the technique.
-The user cannot use wires from his hands and from his legs simultaneously, as it requires strong concentration.
-This technique cannot defend against elemental ninjutsu, though is able to cut through B-ranked and below Earth.
-Can only be taught by Gin-San

As Kirito spins the wire though, he starts charging his weapon with chakra. Immediately after releasing, the chakra turns into a glowing white light around the sword. Kirito unleashes two wave of chakra, slashing in a "X" pattern at quick speed toward the Paladin as he moves upward. The waves are bend in such a way, that will hit the Paladin in the right and left side simultaneously at the same time, but they are released in such an angle that both can't be stopped by a single jutsu (If you want to stop the one coming from the left, the right will hit you, and viceversa). The time in which the Paladin is released and the waves impact the body is around one second.

Description: The user will channel chakra through his sword. The chakra itself will emanate from the sword in the characteristics of white glow. The user then, will release the crescent wave, and before releasing it in its totality, he will modify the shape of the wave itself, making it curved. The end result will be a white boomerang, though the wave will not return to the user. The chakra wave will not be released directly at the opponent, but it will be released in such way, that the wave will need to curve to hit the opponent. The user is able to modify how curved the wave should be in order to reach the opponent in different angles.
-Can only be used three times per battle
-The user is able to shoot up to two chakra waves, though the power of each wave will be cut in half (If fired one the damage will be 60; if fired two the damage of each one will be 30).
-Can only be taught by Gin-San

*As Keotsu is sent skyward, he quickly focuses Fuuton chakra around his sword, which he then releases, creating a cyclone around him that not only severs any remnants of the wires, but timing it so that the technique is capable of stopping the shockwave that approaches him from his right; as for the shockwave on the left, by simply positioning his tower shield between himself and the attack, he successfully defends against his enemies onslaught.
