Although it looked like the Punisher was cornered, they thought that he would still be able to at least harm Bryce or tire him out somehow.

"You are already dead, so there is no guilt inside me when I do this!" Arthur thought as he charged in towards one of those with the shadow powers. Arthur swung his blade, hitting the shadow person from the head down to his feet. The flying Blood blades were still following from behind.
