A flicker of relief filled Francis as the oni missed him. While the heat of his brand could be felt, it was clear that it had likely only hit stray away parts of his clothing and avoided skin entirely. However, he did not bother thinking too deeply on it as his situation was clearly more important. While he had managed to find purchase on one of the red oni's horns, it attempted to puck him off. From experience, he knew it was better to not linger as things would merely become dangerous the longer he stayed and any creature would want him gone. Common sense would deem that one sword would make this entirely difficult.
He could think of two ways to go for this: the head or the neck. One would be easier than the other. Not having much time to contemplate, he went for the one he considered easier. Attempting to swing himself forward, he he aimed an upper cut towards the red oni's neck. He quickly let go, his knees groaning as he fell to the ground. Quickly, he attempted to get out of the way, knowing it best to not be too close.
The blue oni, on the other hand, did not seem to have thought, if it was even capable of such an action, too far in its action. As a result, its hand landed on its own face. With the attack that Gen had made for as well, it was clear that the painted being was fairly dazed, stumbling on its own feet.
It had no chance to even attempt to defend its when Gen made to attack it again. If anything, its attempt to do so could only be described as blind. While damage was certainly made, it was far off the mark, leaving only a cold gust.
Despite the blue oni's size, the wind seemed to have no trouble lifting it in the air. He landed not with a mere punch, but seemed to harshly be cast into it, drilled into as if he were to be part of the painted earth. Once landed, it was clear that the painted being was not a real oni, if they existed at all. Instead, hues of blue seemed to spread about the ground.
