Apollo brought his bokken down and pressed his thumb against the hilt.
Yet, right when it seemed like he was going to put all of his strength into it, his thumb relaxed. It was as though a vicious knife suddenly became a harmless feather.
A wind blade whipped through the air, but its overall shape was quite distorted and it didn't travel that fast.
Then, it landed against a tree branch far away.
Numerous vines and several wooden spikes shot towards that tree branch, snapping the poor branch in the process. It was as though the entire forest was a venus flytrap. However, despite trying so many times, it was unable to catch its elusive prey.
Apollo continued to fly in a direction, while sending out wind blades in another direction.
He was essentially creating an illusory situation, where 'Apollo' was going in one direction, while he was going in another. None of the vines or wooden spikes went for him, but instead the fake Apollo.
