[ It watches the wall of ice shoot up behind it with a passive sort of disinterest, not seeming particularly perturbed and more intrigued than anything. And its attention shifts back to the other one, to Allen as he closes the gap. Exorcist. It knows that, and its eyes light up.

Allen, meanwhile, moves like someone possessed. Lightning quick and still in mid-air, he reaches with his right hand to grasp the small crown circling his other wrist. Pulling from that arm in a transformative burst of light a gleaming white and gold greatsword as long as he is tall and almost as broad. Something he takes his full weight and the speed of his descent with and slams down into the ground where the akuma was a moment ago, leveraging that advantage as much as using the unique nature of the sword to help buffer his own fall. But it sidestepped, seeming amused, as he rounds and presses in on it with a series of desperate, rage-filled blows.

Emotions, for an exorcist, need to be channeled; to be understood. Rage, despair, love, sorrow -- the emotions that make someone want to protect something else and the literal source of their power, and what can cause devastating effect and failure if their heart should falter. And Allen -- he has the deepest, if most turbulent connection of them all to that power. With a heart worn literally not on his sleeve, but by a full body armor in the form of that cloak.

The two of them weave in tight circles, Allen pressing for an opening and the akuma studying his movements as it continues to dodge easily, floating along the ground and dipping with an agility not unlike Timcanpy. Until it raises a hand finally and,
clang, catches the edge of the sword easily in its hand. Like it was absolutely nothing, and, while Allen falters for a moment in trying to pull it free, spins its whole body around like an owl might its head and kicks him with a force that sends him flying backwards, hard enough it'll make him slam into one of the buildings. ]
