The combination of the flared aura and the downwards slice, the latter mainly due to being much faster than Llwn can really react to and move away from even if the movement was obviously rather lazy and slower than it could've been, cause significant damage, but even at the speed this bout is going, the wounds are already closing themselves rather quickly, even faster than they can be made.
This does however give a significant degree of information, and even presents an opening. Firstly, a decent insight into Kusanagi's more used abilities, given that she opened her retaliation with them. Those barriers specifically are going to be very annoying, but things can certainly be done about it.
While the initial attack did little more than make her outermost barrier warble somewhat, even with the resultant explosion like from where Llwn kicked the ground, but he can already feel himself getting faster and stronger. In retaliation for the burns covering most of the front of his body, given the strength of Kusanagi's flames compared to his own at the time, and the slash, even if he barely seems to have registered their existence, much less actually reacted in pain, notably intense flames and electricity arc out for and rush down her sword, slamming into the outermost barrier with considerably more force than the first attack, but still not enough to break the barrier even if its obviously damaged. Notably the appearance of the exposed flesh under the burns is... strange, almost resembling a padded jack.
A second, much weaker burst of flames comes out in a radial burst just a moment after the initial retaliation, leading into Llwn's second attack. Without skipping a beat and effortlessly flowing from the initial, failed attack, his arm arcs back around Kusanagi's right side as he moves forwards closer to her in an attempt to cancel out her sword-range entirely. His entire body seems to warp even more, as though pressing itself in her direction to make it as difficult as possible to actually land another sword strike. Singing through the air like a blade, his fingertips strike again, much harder than before, and are immediately followed by seven other attacks, each aiming for other difficult-to-defend areas, made by phantasmal limbs that suddenly erupted from Llwn's right shoulder. With his other arm, and another seven phantasmal limbs coming from the left shoulder, a variety of small explosives, each primed to explode at different times, and clumps of devices that resemble much sharper taser prongs are tossed towards Kusanagi from several different directions.
