Ivan knows it is not a fight he can win, he has realized by now that this ability user (if what this person does can even be called an ability) outranks him by an immeasurable gulf.
But, consider: a losing fight cannot mean anything to a man who is incapable of valuing his own health over the protection of his [House] and the sanctity of his lord.
So Ivan fights on regardless, and when he finds an opening it is with glee that he takes advantage of it. Putrescent smile curving over countenance as a crack ripples over the ability-shield. Ivan doesn’t know why, aside from that all humans (or all entities, demons, whatever this man is) make mistakes. Ivan is here to take advantage of mistakes he has pressed and pressed Leon to make. Ability is too clunky to pierce (all humans make mistakes just as they get tired, and beautifully refined forms are too much a waste of energy at this point), but:
an important lesson, friends, always carry a knife.
Polished blade sinks through the shield and slices skin on Leon’s cheek. (It is so refreshing to see that he does, indeed, bleed. He is not so inhuman as to lose the ability to be cut. The beautiful colour of spilt blood! Drops like roses.)
The surprise, the fact he’s injured, gives pause. Knife darts back and Ivan presses forward again to tear the blade into Leon a second time, a third--
And he’s cackling as Leon grabs his wrist and stops Ivan; even if his wrist is broken in this move, at least Ivan gets the personal satisfaction of seeing blood and fury fall down Leon’s face.
Not quite invincible now, are you?
