With April's retreat, Chain was once again free to act.
Concrete spheres were launched from Akatani's hands.
Chain ducked down to dodge and hid behind the industrial machinery.
The distance made aiming accurately difficult. Akatani tried to maneuver to a position where he could get a clear shot.
However, black chains blocked his way. Twisting freely, the sharp-tipped stakes lunged at him, keeping him too busy to attack Chain.
(When I get closer to Chain, the chains seem to become more aggressive. Precision, speed, quantity... It seems Chain is also better at manipulating them at a shorter distance.)
"April!"
Chain's angry voice echoed, and April sluggishly rose again.
(When I'm within about 14 or 15 meters of Chain, his attacks become much more intense. Getting any closer requires serious courage. Not yet...)
Akatani distanced himself from Chain and prepared to face the approaching April.
