The dwarf continued to stand, watching Kaito circle around him at great speed; even though he was use to dealing with the tactic from previous fight encounters, this time he was truly on his toes, possibly even nervous, but he wasn't sure until he noticed his right hand was trembling; but why? The only sense that Brone could make was that Kaito was still full of mystery even though he had shown so much of his abilities. Every time the dwarf caught sight of those red blazing eyes, he could hear his own breathing and was more aware of his hand shaking. This aura that Kaito emitted was powerful and pressed heavy upon the dwarf, like a sickness that couldn't be easily fought.
This was all too familiar, like a mixture of fighting Yuurei when the elf entered his angelic form and the lightning dragon, that imposing aura that made children fear dragons in the first place. Just looking at the draconic body was a bit of a struggle and it was only Brone's own dwarven battle harden experience that kept him from giving into his fear. With all that acknowledged, the dwarf knew that the dragon slayer still had his 'Here and There' magic that he had yet to use; anything could happen. A bead of sweat rolled down the side of his face.
Kaito finally made his next move and quickly dashed for Brone's left side, so the dwarf quickly braced himself, gritting his teeth and tightening the grip on his axes. As the dragon slayer came into melee range, Brone was mindful of the oppose blade and was waiting for it to ignite again, but it didn't seem to as the gap between to closed, regardless, he needed to meet the sword head-on, so he raised the green axe up to counter strike, but Kaito jumped above him, something he didn't expect given that he was trying to be prepared for anything. As he looked above him, the sword finally roared with fire as he swung. Brone had assumed Kaito was going for the helmet again, but no, the blade struck the golden axe and like before, steam and water vapor exploded as a loud sound rang throughout the battlefield. Brone blinked and found his golden axe was shattered into many pieces, golden flecks flew everywhere.
"Withering me down, Kaito?" Brone gave a soft chuckle as he released the handle that once belonged to the golden axe, it hit the floor along with the other pieces of itself. He began to wonder if Kaito was intending to strike at different parts of his body to continue to destroy his gear, hoping to strip him of all his equipment. The next item would either be the helmet because it was already damaged, or the green axe because it was Brone's remaining weapon.
The dwarf had to be quick and had to react. Even though Kaito lost his shield, Brone lost a chance to counter because he wasn't expecting such a strike, a slight redirection. Both of his hands now gripped the handle of his green axe. He exhaled frozen air. Now he ran forward, intending to be on the offensive, though he knew well that despite of the icy aura that seems to affect Kaito, the dragon slayer was still too fast, but he still moved in.
If Brone manages to close the distance between him and Kaito, he would strike at Kaito's midsection.
