The shadow creature appeared, of course, but Adren wasn't trying to reform yet. He was beginning to get hungry, and this was a perfect appetizer. The orb rolled out of the slime ((so he wouldn't eat it xD)) as it began to take some sort of shape, though it was still vague and lumpy. The goo rose up and cave in on top of the creature, almost creating a wall of muscle to fight the expected resistance. Teeth formed all along the inside of the misshapen blob, and he began to take a crack at eating the shadow creature. Whether it would work, or make him sick, he had no idea. Right now, that wasn't the issue.
He didn't necessarily need food right now, but when it's tossed right into your lap, who would decline? He assumed Rei would be too busy with her leg for the moment, and took the opportunity to grab a quick snack. Or would the creature be able to break free?

With a demonic screech and unwavering faith to its owner, the shadow dweller within Adren's goop scratch and clawed at the sharp walls surrounding it. It would do anything to cause harm to its opponent until it could no longer do so and must return to its orb-like cell. Despite being compressed and bitten into, the shadowy being really could not feel any pain. It was not made of flesh and bone, but of magic and shadows fused with demonic aura. With claws like knives and teeth like razors the dweller began doing what it could to tear into the prison that trapped it. When it could take no more, the beast would only return to the orb and wait to fight another day.
Rei grinned, taking this chance of preoccupation on Adren's part to try something else. With a twirl of her hand, Uindo flew toward her and was grabbed firmly by its handle. Holding her weapon with both hands, Rei made a long sweeping motion from over her head, all the way down to the ground. The slicing created a shock wave of blade-like wind speeding on a direct rout for Adren's goo pile.

Far too preoccupied with the shadow creature - and having no eyes to see with anyway - Adren was sliced neatly in two by the blade of wind, which would probably mean the creature was too. He melted back down into slime and the two halves crawled back together, taking Adren's shape before his colors faded back to their normal selves. And by colors, I of course mean white clothes and black hair and wristbands. Not a trace of actual color could be found on Adren, if one took the time to notice this. Luckily for Adren, healing things like being cut in half was actually easier. He didn't have to actually make any new matter, so he just popped himself back into place and kept going without using much energy. "Don't you see yet?" he growled to Rei, pounding his chest. "It's useless, using that weapon. You're not going to get anywhere, not against me." He held up his hands, examining them. "But if you really want to keep going, I guess I'll take these off." He slipped off the thick metal wristbands, which seemed to adjust to be able to slide off easily. They dropped to the ground with a loud thud, actually quite a bit heavier than they looked. Pulling up his pants slightly, he took two more off of his ankles, and hopped around a bit. "I'm not sure how much training use they have, they're mostly for show." And with that, he rushed toward her, ignoring the fact that she still had her blade.

Rei twirled Uindo in one of her hands, almost as though she were taunting Adren, brushing his words off like stray crumbs. What was even stranger than the changes one may notice physically, was that, despite the violence and intense scenario, the girl's abdomen either wasn't burning... or she didn't seem to care if it was. Perhaps the seal she had in place was still strong, bu, if that were true, then what could possibly cause such drastic developments in such a short period of time? Her daring eyes scrutinized the arm and leg bands that now lay in subtle indents in the ground only for a moment or so. "Interesting..." Bringing her gaze back to Adren just as he came toward her, Rei grinned and grasped Uindo firmly. 'Useless... really?' "I'll just have to start trying then, won't I?" With one rapid spin, a large vortex had formed around her body, and then with a sweep of her arm, the small tornado was rushing forward to meet Adren's approaching form. If he were to be caught it in, the wind would pick up speed until it was able to start ripping at his flesh, hopefully scattering the pieces and mangling his body so badly that he had difficulty pulling himself together. If he were to evade this speeding, raging wind storm... well... then Rei would most likely be knocked to the ground, hit with whatever Adren counterattacked with, or simply come up with some other way to do damage.
What fun.

Adren, not being one to avoid an attack, kept on going right into the tornado. He was torn to pieces, and the tiny blobs were sent flying in random directions, some of them even getting on Rei. For a few moments, nothing much happened. But then each individual glob began to twitch and writhe, and they all began to crawl towards Rei. After a moment they changed and hundreds of tiny war cries began to sound out around her, coming from an army of one-inch Adrens. They swarmed around, attempting to climb up onto her with the intentions of crawling into her mouth. Though he did have one flaw in this plan: though he had many tiny bodies, he still only had one consciousness, and thus the bodies could only focus on one activity. He couldn't do any sort of complicated plans or strategies, they all had to run toward her head-to-head, or rather, head-to-toe.

Rei's eyes widened just the slightest bit when the once annoying, lifeless blobs that clinged to her and the surrounding area were suddenly annoying, lively Adrens. She had to basically tear one from her arm and did her best to keep the others away with her feet and not-so-graceful kicking gestures. A quiet growl of frustration resounded from deep in her throat; this was getting very old very quickly. Something flashed behind her light blue eyes as they darted around through the sea of Adrens, trying to find a clean route to land. Finding no distance short enough to jump, had only had one other option; literal flight. Disregarding that her shirt was not specially made for this, Rei released her dragon-like wings, not bothering to mind the ripping sound they made while passing through her newly modified-for-wings shirt. All other parts of her remained human except for her eyes, which changed into a bright, near-glowing crimson.
She pushed form the ground and with a few heavy beats her wings had carried her above the grey sea of little men, bringing her to a landing a safe distance away from it. "Vermin..." Uindo suddenly struck the ground straight on and a blast of wind shot up all around the area. It wasn't meant for damage or even pain, just to disorient the little men. However, not thinking, the blast also caught on Rei's wings and basically sent her up and then down onto her back with a soft thud, slightly disoriented herself.

((...did she tear her shirt off? xDD)) As the Adrens flew through the air, they simultaneously melted down into globs of slime once again. After splattering to a stop, they gradually began to crawl together once more, forming into one large blob, which then became Adren once more. He didn't look too happy at the moment, to say the least. This girl was proving to be more of a hassle than he'd thought, and a Virdanican never enjoyed meeting someone they couldn't kill easily. At least, not at first, But as the battle wore on, he would become thrilled at the challenge, and if it became obvious that he was going to face death, his body would react accordingly.
Thankfully, he wasn't to that point yet, and Rei was down. He took the opportunity to look around for some source of food, though he could see none but the grass. So, of course, he began to tear up grass and shovel it into his mouth by the handful, not bothering to get rid of the dirt when it came along for the ride. He kept his eyes on Rei, waiting just in case she attacked again.

((OMG! lol No, there is just a big rip in the back x3))
Wings splayed out at awkward angles, Rei groaned in irritance as she sat herself upright, tenderly touching the back of her head where she had come down on a stone. Jaw clenched against the headache she could feel coming- oh joy-, Rei glared in Adren's direction, obviously convinced it was all his fault. She was on her feet once more in seconds, hunched over in a defined crouch with her wings open halfway in an threatening, animal-like manner. She remained still for a moment, wondering why on earth Adren was eating grass, but that question was soon pushed to the far back of her mind. "You're even more of an animal than I am." The black tattoos that had been creeping down her arm were now all the way down to her left wrist, crawling over the back of her hand. and starting work on the right shoulder Her usually clear, sky blue eyes seemed darker now, more cerulean; a deeper hue. With surprising speed for her human state, Rei sprinting straight for Adren, going old-fashioned and aiming a hard sideways kick for his head.

Adren looked up as she came toward him, and even had time to see her foot just before she hit. His mouthful of grass went flying, though he only moved from the neck up. To be specific, his entire head was deformed severely, as if someone had smushed a blob of Silly Putty. His neck had stretched out to several feet long, allowing his head to take the shock from the kick, before it stopped. His eye looked back over to Rei and his neck shortened back to normal. It took a moment, but his head also shaped back to its normal self, save for a scratch on his cheek. "I am the most dangerous animal you will ever see." Standing, he raised his arms up and growled. His armpits faded into gray goop and ran down his sides, then began to shape into what soon became two extra arms. He then began to advance with a flurry of quick but relatively weak blows from all four arms, growing more annoyed at this girl.

No longer shocked by Adren's strange body, Rei was not surprised by his deformed head after her kick. Her deep blue eyes narrowed. "You may come to believe otherwise..." Her voice was quiet and murmured, like she was again talking to herself. When the blows began she managed to deflect almost all of them with her palms and forearms. She held her own for a decent time before she missed something in the flurry of fists and began getting hit more and more. Finally, bruised in several places, Rei had to back down. With one powerful, strained flap of her wings, the girl pulled herself away from Adren's arms. She landed just a few meters away, not able to maintain flight without at least some proper form to her take-off.
Flexing each hand, Rei shifted her finger tips and nails into her oh-so handy claws. They began to glow a subtle shade of red as another sadistic grin crept onto her face. Clearing her throat softly, she hummed the three notes Do-Re-Mi; her time with Rhyme had really had its benefits. What appeared to be waves of energy flew from her claws as she swiped them through open air toward Adren; if wind didn't make things difficult, perhaps raw energy would.

The two extra arms retracted and he relaxed a bit, now curious as to what Rei would do next. When he saw the energy rushing toward him he tried to dodge, but in the split second he needed to get himself moving, he was hit. Staggering backward he growled in pain, his entire upper body leaning back with the hit. He stopped and stood upright again, obvious slashes of bubbling goo streaking across his body. One of his eyes had gone gray and partially melted, but the other was more enraged than ever. His pupil shrank down to a pinprick for a second, then returned to normal. With a roar and a puff of his chest, the skin healed, though his ego certainly didn't. This could be considered going berserk, as he simply began to roar in fury. He put all of his weight into a downward punch, slamming his fist into the ground. A moment later, it burst from the ground just in front of Rei, having stretched underground over to her.

Rei's smirk faded quickly only seconds after Adren had abused the ground with his fist. Primal instinct took over, which sent her attention to the ground around her just in time to see a large, grey fist coming up to meet her. She gasped quietly, mind acting on its own and deciding that avoiding another hit to the face would be best. In the last five minutes, the girl had learned two useful things. One: energy worked much better than regular physical attacks against Adren. And two: his punches hurt like hell. What was he made of, stone? In the last instant, Rei's arms shot up to cross protectively in front of her chest and head, taking a direct hit from Adren's fist.
She was sent toppling backward onto the ground with a sharp exhale and a grunt. With wavering balance, Rei sat up and managed to get to her feet. Her right arm hung limp at her side; Adren's fist had disconnected it from her shoulder because of the awkward angle. The tattoos seem to accelerate in their rate of spreading down her arm with this new injury, as if they were given power relative to her pain. Grimacing, but also grinning at the same time, Rei clutched her useless arm and gripped it tightly, glaring through narrowed eyes at Adren. "I really don't appreciate that." With a sickening snap-crackle-pop, she had forced her arm back into its socket, cringing slightly. The tattoos promptly stopped moving right around her elbow; her other arm was completely covered with them.
Rei's breathing was more erratic now, adrenaline pulsing through her after realizing Adren was no pushover. Deciding to experiment, she called Uindo to her hand and soon enough the dull red light had spread to envelope the blade as well. Grinning, Rei whipped the dagger toward Adren and watched as a wide wind vortex streaked with bright crimson made its way toward him.

Adren saw the vortex coming toward him and knew he needed to avoid it. His legs stretched quickly, then returned to normal, thus propelling him up into the air. The problem was, he had little control over what happened now. Not to mention the fact that he had left his stretched arm in the ground, meaning he now had one half-melted stub. The problem fixed itself while he was in the air, and the new arm flexed to test itself. Unable to stop himself, he fell very quickly toward the ground, and finally slammed into it hard enough to make a small indention. Now, one should know that while it took a lot of pain to make him show signs of it, he could still feel every bit of pain that came his way. Grunting through his teeth, he looked up at Rei with furious eyes. The inner Adren was struggling to keep control, because he knew what would come if this lack of control went on. But primal instincts won, and he charged forward recklessly, roaring to announce his attack. Because, you know, the more aware the oppoent is of your attack, the more difficult it is for them to dodge, right?

Eyes narrowing tauntingly, Rei pivoted easily to one side to avoid Adren's direct charge, continuing on her way until she was a few meters from where she started. Without missing a step, she crouched down and spread her wings fully before jumping upward, using one powerful thrust to become airborne. She circled low around the field maybe three feet more than Adren's current height. Gliding was simple in such an open space, so her altitude was kept steady. As she took in the situation, her deep blue eyes darkened further into a dull red. Cutting herself off from her lap, Rei turned sharply in Adren's direction while at the same time her feet had become more like talons. She performed a swift front flip, aiming a solid downward kick with glowing claws for Adren's head. This may not have been as well planned as her other moves, but she figured as long as she included a small bit of energy, her chances were good that Adren would be affected more.

Adren raised an arm to block her attack, though her claws began to melt his arm with the energy. He growled and swung his other arm forward, attempting a blow to her stomach. This girl was filling him with more and more rage, and despite his efforts to keep control, he couldn't pull himself out of this berserker rage. He tore his arm free, leaving plenty of flesh behind in her claws. As it began to heal he rumbled lowly, a growl that was more felt than heard. "Dyahhhhh," he hissed, drool leaking from his mouth as he attempted to communicate, die.
