As the fight commenced, Rinni soon realized how strong and fast this man was in comparison, despite his overall size. He had clearly done some kind of rigorous training to get here and if he would beat her, there was no doubt in her mind that he would easily become the next champion. He was getting too close to her, making it hard for her to use her Bow. She was breathing heavily with exhaustion from running and dodging. Eventually, she lost her rhythm and received a punch to the jaw knocking her flat on her back. The man lunged toward her ready to finish her off, only to get a surprise as she grew approximately three feet bigger than she was. She developed long ears, a big bushy tail, fur, fangs, claws, an elongated muzzle. Looming before him was a full werewolf, who easily kicked him away before rolling to her feet and standing up. As the bipedal monster stood to her full height, she towered over her opponent earning gasps and awes from the crowd that had gathered to watch the fight.
Many backed away terrified while others looked on in awe, intrigue, and admiration. A few seemed to recognize Rinni as she heard murmurs of 'The Blood Moon' among the masses. The man's eyes widened as he staggered backward. "Y-you! You're ... The Blood Moon, aren't you?" He stammered, fearing for his life. The Werewolf snarled in response, stepping toward her prey.
"I've been called that." Was her response. At least she was sentient and appeared to be in control of her transformation. He was somewhat relieved that she wasn't a feral wolf preparing to rip him apart. He now hoped she wasn't a Werewolf willing to rip him apart regardless. She looked quite vicious, drooling and growling as she neared him. The man was shaken, he fought many opponents but never such a monster as Rinni.
Rinni didn't intend to kill the guy, but scaring him seemed to have the result of piss. She could smell it on him. She smirked as she snapped her jaws at him in a fake bite. The man didn't want to be made a fool, however, so he shakily stood up and took a battle stance. Rini raised an eyebrow at him, her ears pricking up. He still wanted to fight? Okay then. If that's what he wished... she'd grant it. The man charged toward the Werewolf and she swatted him away like a fly.
He lunged again, and again, and again. Each time, she easily swatted him aside. He was a persistent bastard, she'd give him that. After so long of dealing with his shenanigans, Rinni backhanded him with her claws inward so as to not tear him up by mistake. The poor bastard was sent flying into a wall and was instantly knocked unconscious. That just left one opponent remaining.
The Champion.
