But just as Acker's senses were sharp, Asher's were even sharper. He immediately turned towards the attack, Virelass blurring upwards as he met the strike with calm ease and deflected it to the side. Although Acker's attack speed and striking power had skyrocketed, it made no difference to Asher.
The moment he deflected the blow, he thrust towards Acker, who was still suspended mid-air, but Acker teleported once more. However, Asher had already anticipated this.
The moment Acker teleported to a new position, Asher was already there, his rapier singing towards the Buddhist's shoulder. Acker, who had only just reappeared, was caught completely off guard. He felt the rapier tear through his skin, flesh, bone, and muscle. Blood splattered into the air as his entire arm struck the ground with a gentle thud.
Acker was stunned. He couldn't understand how Asher had just accomplished that.
