Judas reacted instantly, driving two punches into Emir's stomach in the time it took for the blade to descend.
His strikes were powerful enough to shatter Emir's force shield, but still, he didn't relent.
The blade continued on its path, closing in on Judas's head.
But just before it could land, he stepped back, letting it slice through empty air, missing him by a breath.
Emir, expecting such an outcome, released the hilt for a split second, his hand reversing its grip before he stepped forward, swiping the blade upward in a sharp arc.
Judas attempted to step back again, but Aquila was there, waiting for him with his revolver.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
He smirked, eyeing the approaching bullets, then jumped up, dodging both the bullets and the blade.
But, again, the attack didn't end there.
Aquila's bullets tracked him, while Emir disappeared, appearing right next to him, high in the air.
