The boy dashed across the table, scythe in hand. As he ran, all the dishes on the table flew off into the wall. The shattering noise of all the dishes echoed throughout the room as he made his way towards us.
I blocked the boy's attack and pushed him backwards, right into Akari. Akari activated one of her water spells and attempted to punch the boy in the back.
Akari's punch went straight through the boy's body. Though not in the way most people would expect. It was like his body was made of smoke and allowed things to go through it.
"I wasn't able to use this power last time with how fast that Koda person was." The boy said, his body completely turning to smoke and moving up into the air.
It was as if he was flying. His legs were still in the shape of black smoke but I could clearly see the upper half of his body. The question of how we were supposed to hit him kept echoing throughout my mind as the fight continued.
"John, I know how to deal with powers like these." Ichiro said, jumping away from the boy.
"Really? How do we defeat him?"
Ichiro began to swing his arms like I'd seen him do against the fight with the old man. Electricity began to surround him until he was completely submerged in it. I tried to get close but got a painful zap in the process.
"Watch closely." Ichiro suddenly vanished from beside me and reappeared next to the boy.
Ichiro's fist made direct contact with the boy's body, delivering a powerful kidney shot.
The power of Ichiro's punch launched the boy right back to the ground. He quickly picked himself back up but it was clear that Ichiro's attack did something.
"Okay so I know what you did to hit him but how do I use the spell?" I asked.
