Jasper thrusted his sword. A ghost of his arm holding the same sword shot out of the blade.
Akasan dodged it as his sword started glowing blue-white again.
Jack rushed at the same time, outreaching his metal claw.
Jasper flickered back and forth, hitting both of them with his sword before jumping back. He held out his hand and increased the spiritual pressure.
Akasan once again struggled to move.
Jasper flickered his way and shot his sword right between Akasan's eyes.
Jack wasn't going to get there in time, and Jasper's blade was basically touching Akasan by this point.
In this moment it felt like time stopped for Akasan. "Oh no… I'm dead. I couldn't track his movements! If only I could just—"
A thin white outline appeared surrounding Akasan's body.
BYOOM!
Thousands of afterimages followed Akasan as he weaved to his left, a shocked expression on his face.
