Aiko seemed to have adjusted to this new ability of hers, her first strike connected and she knew given the feeling of her hand. She found this kind of direct damage to be a bit barbaric but, she supposed she didn't have much choice, given she couldn't lose another sword before returning home. Soon enough she was ducking under this man's left arm and attacking again, but she noticed that there was much less force in the arm of his as it went over head. "Nani?" she questioned aloud. This wasn't what she expected, but she couldn't let fortune like this go to waste. She shifted around his person aiming another deep puncture towards his left kidney hoping to finally fell him. Or at least keep him from attacking. She didn't know what to make of his new ability of hers, she could only assume it was some sort of poison, which only made her wonder how long this man's death would actually take. 'Sou ka, to hunt a great beast, become beast-like, and injure it with something it can't fight against. That kinda makes sense... I don't get why against people though...' she thought after the fact.
