As his temper returned to normal, Szanod gazed at the being now lying on the ground before him. The demon warrior always took pride in his calm collectiveness that had prevailed so many times. The fact that it had escaped him for a moment gave him pause, though. This one would be especially difficult to break. However, he WOULD be broken.
Szanod then picked up the dazed Kuaiji and, holding him up with one hand against his wall, began punching him with great force in the stomach. Each blow was made harder by the fact that Kuaiji's body could not recoil from it, since he was pressed up against the spiked wall behind him. Szanod kept on striking until the wall had become so weak, it shattered. (OOC: Ever seen the anime Ninja Scroll? The part when Jubei fights the Rock Demon is what came to my mind when I thought of this last attack. Just a little visual for you all!)
Tossing Kuaiji's limp form aside, Szanod then surveyed the battles before him. It would seem that a total of three skirmishes were taking place. The lightning being with the warrior, the "angel" against the chi master and himself with this surprisingly resiliant mystery fighter.
Undecided as to which fighter to break first, Szanod looked back at Kuaiji, to make sure that he would cause no further trouble and concentrated his eldricht energies at repairing his armour.
