JYON
Her thrust was just as quickly blocked by the more experienced warrior with a side sweep as she tried to bat her sword to the side. Using that momentum, Wessex swung the practice sword down in an arc to try and slice towards her upper leg. Whether it was instinct or pure luck, she wasn’t clear, but her body quickly moved back quickly, but only fast enough for the other woman’s weapon to gaze upon her lower thigh instead of a hard direct hit towards the upper regions. Jyon was not confident in being able to replicate such a manoeuvre, and she knew that if this had been an actual battle, she would have already been wounded by such a hit, but what was one to do when faced with such an experienced opponent? One did what one could.
The loud booming voice of Deimos paused the battle, and he congratulated the pair for their part in the duel so far. He then urged them to look for a weakness, for ways to overcome each other, and ways to defend themselves. Once the words ended from the huge warrior, the duel once again resumed, and Jyon was thrust back into the moment. Her mind went through the different tactics and strategy she could possibly use, even the more underhanded ones, although she pushed those out of the way for now.
There was no reason to resort to using dirty fighting just yet. This had been a clean practice duel so far, and she intended to keep it that way, unless Wessex had other plans up her sleeve. Angling her blade sideways and up, Jyon moved to circle Wessex, like a tiger circling its prey, waiting until her back was facing her before she struck, leaping into yet another quick downward slash aimed towards her torso.
