Hansel's movements were swift and his strikes were powerful. He was able to injure Ed's knight which was made of aura and had no actual physical body.
The worst thing about his power was his attacks on the knight reflected on Ed. When Hansel creates cuts down the knight's body, Ed would feel the pain without having the wounds.
"Ed, are you alright?" Hope asked. He went to Ed to make sure the latter wasn't hurt. "What's happening?"
"I don't think the knight will help us defeat him," Ed returned his knight and covered himself with the aura. "Let's handle Hansel by ourselves. We know his powers, it wouldn't be hard to figure out a way to defeat him."
Ed wanted to make Hope feel comfortable, but the truth was that he didn't know what to do or how to defeat Hansel. It seemed like Hansel's abilities were flawless and they had no other choice but to use everything they have.
