Rain saw the punch coming; it had some power behind it, but it seemingly lacked backup; and Zachary was possibly wide open for any attack that should come after. But the Grim Angel would not overestimate him by just dodging, nor would he underestimate by outright attacking at the same level he was coming at.

The Grim Angel would just side step gracefully and gently lift his leg, so that his ankle hooked Zachary's foot, making him stumble forward.

"You're open."

He stumbled, but didn't fall. The Ice Mage turned again, firing a few more punches; but this time, he seemed to be expecting something that silly again, so his footwork was not so lacking anymore. But by this time, Rain had gauged his skills already.

Swiftly, as the man punched with his right arm, Rain forcefully slapped his hand away, "You're still open," he said, lifting his leg and connecting three swift and powerful kicks to the the left side of the Ice Mage's body.

One on the side of his knee, "Here." Another at his waist, "Here," and a last at the side of his head making him tumble to the ground, "And here."

"Any opening is an invite to an enemy," Rain stood over him, "don't be so hospitable. Now get up, try again, but this time, you can use your ice for defense only."
