Moving quickly Zeto was able to bat away one of Victoria's strikes while the other slammed into his gut, the only thing saving him from being disemboweled then and there being the unique composition and enchantments on his clothing. As it was the magic prevented her nails from piercing his clothes, and the fibers locked together as soon as the hit happened, turning the potential stomach wound into the equivalent of a swift kick to the abdomen. Stumbling back a few steps to catch his breath, Victoria disappeared into the grass before his vision cleared, a disembodied laugh mixing with the sound of the wind that breezed through the area.
“Oh, so that's how it's going to be, eh?” Zeto muttered as he pushed his sleeves further up his arms, his arm guards flashing as they caught the rays of the sun. Running his hands over them they glowed a soft blue for a moment before fading, the metal seemingly evaporating into the air around him until only two slim bracelets remained on his wrists and a cloud of silver dust floated around Zetos' body, reaching around six feet in every direction.
“And now we play the waiting game.”
As soon as anything moved into the field of silver Zeto would know, the link that allowed him to mentally maneuver also providing some feedback when another source attempted to move them. So all he had to do was wait until Victoria tried something, then he'd be instantly alerted.
Yup. Just had to be patient.
Just a little longer...
She couldn't stay out there forever...
He can do this just as long as she can...
“Dammit, the waiting game sucks.” Zeto exclaimed as he lifted his right arm up over his head, all the silver dust to gather around his hand in a ball. Once he gathered it all he commanded it into a long blade that extended out from his hand, stretching up fifteen more feet into the air. Twisting on the balls of his feet, he chopped down with his hand, smoothly chopping through the grass with the blade as he turned a full circle until there was a circle around him where the grass was only a few inches high, the blade disintegrating again as he finished. He had no idea if Victoria was close enough to be hit by that move, but it was at least a start.
