Arastia was not a Martial Artist, she merely mastered a martial art meant to complement her blood manipulation. Every time their attacks did manage to connect with her body, it simply didn't seem to faze her all that much. The reality was that Arastia could manipulate the blood within her body to such an extent that she could spike pressure at the moment of contact with an attack, canceling internal and external pressure at the point of contact for that one moment, completely negating the attack.
She could also simply absorb the kinetic energy that they unleashed at her as well, if she truly wanted.
Ria knew that.
That was why she aimed for spots with minimal blood presence.
Like hard bone.
BANG!
Arastia's eyes flickered with surprise as she felt a sharp pain in her elbows from the attack. Ria began targeting areas of pure hard bone with her super-condition knuckles, allowing her to inflict some damage to the calcium comprising the structure.
