Alter smiled evilly, her warrior's instinct taking over as she rushed the Maxwell head on, blade gripped tightly in both hands at her right side. She leapt into the air and brought her blade above her head, then down, the Maxwell guarded her blow with the blad eof its scythe and thrust its shield outward in an effort to knock her back, but she caught the shield with her boot and used the force of her attack and her new foothold to throw herself forward, somersaulting over the beast. She kept her blade pressed into the scythe and as she somersaulted over it, she shifted the blade beneath the scythe and kept it there to lock the scythe in place.

Alter coughed up a bit of blood, her back screaming in pain, but she quickly suppressed the feeling and stood again, blade again before her in both hands, theat same smile on her face.

As the MAxwell charged ehr again, shield at its side and scythe held high, she released her blade and it screamed through the air, cutting through the beast as though it wer enothing given that its defenses were now in the way. As its charge slowed, its lower half stopped, but its upper half kept going since it had no way to stop and the two slid apart, falling to the ground shortly thereafter.

She noted that her blade was coming back and raised both hands to catch it, bracing herself for it and een so was almost driven back into the tree again. As soon as it stopped and she regained her footing, she dropped it and fell to her knees, then her bottom beside it, needing to rest for a second...
