Thanatos' left hand gripped tight to the blade's hilt, fingers tightening as he moved to swing forward and bring the blade hard against the metal statue, a loud clanging erupting as he clashed against it, forcing a dent to appear with each strike. The blow was followed up with a quick, less-powerful strike, and then a quick palm strike from his right hand to the face. There was blood on the statue as well, coming from the broken skin of his hand where he'd struck it enough, forcing a puncture here or there, as well as the wearing down of his flesh.
A spin of his blade and he jabbed now, before shouldering into the statue, causing it to spin on its axis and then he stepped back, wiping the sweat from his brow and cracking his neck to the side. The burly man stood in shorts, no shirt, his muscles reflecting against the sunlight that beamed down on him at the moment. He was eager to attack the statue, but he waited a moment, as if mesmerizing a hidden foe, before another strike was sent; this time towards the held blade of the statue, causing it to shift up, before he spun in and flipped the blade in hand, bringing the tip up through the side and into the statue once more.
Stepping back again, he repeated the attack only this time instead of spinning in, he stepped forward and elbowed the face, before bringing the blade sliding down into its neck. Gritting his teeth, the Vampire grinned with a sound of brilliant anger, stepping back as he breathed and continued through his exercises, exploring different techniques, imagining different scenarios, always prepared for a war that, alas, would likely never come again. A man clutching to old traditions and an ancient past that he could never really bring back, it would seem.
