This is what it's like being the biggest and the strongest. I don't even exercise.

As he begins to move forward once more, all thought but that of the push ahead removed from him .. Koshou all but runs into a wall of chaotic Reishi as Lazarus bombards him with a levy of attacks in an attempt to slow him down. The miasma from the use of Blight, and the frozen chill that begins to cling to his clothes and limbs both in an all-too familiar sensation that begins to creep into his bones. The pace of the Soul Reaper slows in his advance, blade slowing as they continue to clash and parry one another back and forth in the frantic clash in the late hours of the night. Slower, and slower still Koshou continues to slow down until Lazarus' blade begins to push forward rather than hold his back! Then the Shinigami finds himself hitting that limit, with no more energy to expend no more fuel to burn that push continues to push him back until the man stumbles backward and then falls backward, hitting the concrete beneath their feet with a solid THUD. 

For a moment or two, all that can be heard coming from the stocky man is labored breath that tries to fill his lungs with oxygen and keep himself conscious. Then that breath becomes interspersed with a growled sense of laughter as the man seems to regain some semblance of his more usual self. a few syllables come murmured after another minute's breath.

"Al .. almost..."

It had finally turned in his favor, the myriad of afflictions becoming apparent in the way the Shinigami had become more and more lethargic, Lazarus feeling the weight behind each strike lessen and lessen. As quickly as it had begun, it would appear that the battle was over, something he would find surprisingly disappointing. Normally the Quincy detested any form of combat, but this had gotten him into a particular mood, once he was rather enjoying up until the moment he watched the other fall back. The Quincy would exhale a thick plume of fog as he relaxed his muscles, the strain of his injuries and the fatigue of battle setting in slow as they were.

He'd step forward as his weapons would evaporate into the air around him, crouching and weaving a few symbols into existence to produce a healing spell. It was the least he could do for the Shinigami who had allowed him the opportunity to practice and hone his skills. The feeling of adrenaline would slowly seep from his body, a steady rhythm of small puffs of fog leaving his lips as the chill of the night air took hold of him. He'd also go about plucking the afflictions he had placed on the man away like cob webs from a dusty old attic, casting them away to fade into nothingness as he conducted himself like that of a proper healer.
