As Veloz leapt towards the arrancar it turned on the spot bringing up its thin arms to block the strikes which seemed to barely scratch the arrancars hierro.Tch.. stupid hierro try this! Veloz quickly leapt at the arrancar once again, this time pinning it as it was reaching towards its weapon. With a howl the arrancar let out a burst of reiatsu stunning Veloz momentarily till he brought his own up to match it.
With the arrancar thrashing beneath him Veloz didn't risk launching his cero, instead he allowed it to grow in power as the arrancar finally broke free of his grasp, pushing him back. Veloz was enjoying this greatly, although injured the arrancar was still putting up a good fight. With an ancient deep roar Veloz lashed his tail forward releasing his Cero de Compresión.
Upon seeing the cero launched at him the arrancar thought to block it, upon doing so the dark blue outer shell of a cero split, exploding on each side of the arrancar. After this happened the gold core began expanding rapidly to a 10" diameter before the arrancar's resistance caused it to explode. The explosion could be felt throughout the spire as it blew a hole in it.
The arrancar was now outside the spire, blade in hand smoke floating from his body. His body marred in burns and previous wounds that began bleeding once again. The arrancar stood up pointing a finger at Veloz before launching its own cero.
With a burst of speed Veloz was out of the spire and fire range of the cero. Coating his talons in reiatsu he charged the arrancar, meeting blade to talon before snapping at the arrancar with his jagged teeth. The arrancar was too slow to jump back and had a chunk of flesh torn from its shoulder, when this happened Veloz could already feel the influx of power. Letting out a roar Veloz jumped back ready to continue the battle.
