In any case, it seemed that Jake wasn't the only one who could combine Mana Blade with other skills. Diego began to fire those, and they were faster and more powerful than Thunder Slash… Jake tried to dodge most of them, but he had to use his own sword pretty soon, and that ended up paralyzing him.
Diego used that short window of time to approach instantly ahead and then aimed at his neck with the sword and thrust it. Jake blocked the charge, but he still was pushed back for several meters. He was still weak due to the previous fight, so a long fight like that sure will annoy and make things harder for him.
