After dodging Apollo's strike, Layla violently swiped with her claw, nearly creating a vacuum from how hard she pushed aside the air.
But like a flickering light, Apollo vanished once more.
He reappeared to the side of Layla, whipping his bokken towards her waist.
But with incredible agility, Layla ducked down without even looking. She swept with her legs as she fell, prompting Apollo to hop into the air.
At that moment, Layla pressed her palms against the floor and shot a foot towards Apollo's legs.
He furrowed his brows.
Apollo had tried to step into the shadow world, but found he couldn't do so while in the air. Not wanting to lose just yet, he twisted his body, sticking his abdomen to the sky, while his limbs hung loosely, facing the ground.
It was as though Apollo had become a miniature bridge.
And right through the gap of said bridge, a violent torrent of wind passed.
