Finishing his attack, the knight assumed his normal fighting stance. It seemed that during his crossover attack, Hirana tried to kick him away, but he somehow managed to twist his body to narrowly avoid being hit. At times like that, he was very grateful for his built-up combat instincts, especially considering where her kick was aimed at.
Glaring at his enemy, the knight gauged that the distance between them was roughly about 8 metres. He knew that his opponent was probably going to stop toying with him, now that he actually wounded her, so he was well aware that he had to act fast. He had to do something to prevent her from freely using her strongest magic, as it would most likely mean his defeat.
Aegis quickly noticed the scenery around Hirana. A ruined wall on her left, a tall pillar on her right. It was clear to him what he had to do. His enemy had the advantage in power and element of surprise, and she was also far away to have enough reaction time, even if she is dazed from the kick. Aegis' only option was to not be predictable.
Closing his eyes briefly, he activated Minds Flow, the technique, which allows him to plan ahead with incredible effectiveness. Upon opening his eyes, he shifted his weight on his left leg and lowered his stance. He changed his grip of Fervour to a reverse right-handed one and raised his left hand close to his face. The stance of the Forgotten Arts technique. Concentrating entirely on his movement and his foe, the knight spoke the only words that were still on his mind - "Time to end it."
Immediately, Aegis dashed forth in a sprint towards his enemy. The distance was 8 metres. The closest end of the wall was 3 metres away. The pillar was 6 metres away. He knew he could make it, he knew he could gain the speed he needed, even if he had to do so for such a short distance, his rigorous training allowed him to.
"Ha ... ha ... ha"
Three breaths. It took him exactly three quick, rugged breaths to reach the wall. That speed would suffice, he could pull it off. Making two more steps forward, he had already passed 4 and a half metres. He was close enough.
Immediately stepping towards his right, he was right next to the wall.
Tap.
Tap.
Tap.
The sound of his feet as they moved on the surface of the wall. Upon reaching the 4.5 metre mark, he had initiated a wallrun using the sudden burst of speed he achieved.
The three large steps were all he needed to make. The distance between him and Hirana was 3 metres. He suddenly stopped in the middle of his wallrun, changing the direction of the force of his movement, making a jump. He leaped slightly to the side of the pillar that was on Hirana's right. As he was just about to pass it, he extended his right arm towards it and managed to grab it, swinging his body around it, changing the direction of his movement.
The distance was 1.5 metres. He now was close enough. Knowing that he used all his strenght to jump away from the pillar with maximal force, but not upwards, no, his jump was aimed towards Hirana.
"HraaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !"
His battle cry could be heard as he felt an ancient power activate within himself, a power locked within his blood, increasing his strenght. With that feeling of empowerment, he shot him self away from the pillar and towards his foe. But he was not on a collision course with her, he was going to land next to her.
Flying towards Hirana headfirst, he seemed like he had the speed of a bullet. Still holding his sword in a reverse grip, Aegis extended his arm as he was passing Hirana, delivering a lightning fast slash to her right arm. Upon landing slightly behind her, Aegis immediately swung his entire body around as he was still in a low stance, sweeping Hirana's right foot with his left leg, then immediately placed his weight on his left leg, quickly standing up. He used the momentum he gained from standing up to land a powerful strike with his right knee slightly below Hirana's ribcage. But he did not stop there. Aegis used his foe's back as he rolled on it, finding himself on the opposite side of his enemy. As he landed on his feet, the knight used the momentum of the roll to slash at the left side of Hirana's body. As he did the strike, he continued the turning motion and combined it with a sidestep while fainting a punch with his left hand. In doing so, he found himself durectly behind Hirana, where he initiated the end of his combination.
"Fall !"
He grabed her at her waist with both hands and did a suplex, smashing her against the ground, and then immediately turned around to face her.
Jumping in the air, he put all of his strenght into his legs. Leaning his entire body backwards and contracting his legs, he was in a horizontal position in the air...
"AND STAY DOWN THERE !"
... And he unleashed all of the power he gathered in his legs, extending them to deliver an almighty dropkick. It did not matter if she somehow managed to block it or not, it was powerful enough to knock her backwards for atleast 4 metres.
As he fell on the ground, Aegis quickly stood up and looked in the direction where his opponent was sent flying. He still kept his stance, ready to react, as the dust that arose from all the fighting did not let him clearly see the condition in which Hirana was.

Just for clarification, I used my lineage there.
