Hook, line, and sinker. Herriman never considered himself much of a fisherman, but it was a hell of a catch he was about to make. Mifune's blade looked like it was dead on course, but as soon as it was a mere hair's breadth away from cutting deep into Herriman's side, Herriman simply...ceased. The energy he had been building up reached its peak, mostly thanks to Mifune delaying the charge. Without a flash, without a noise, Herriman disappeared from the face of the arena.

He reappeared just behind Mifune as the warrior was midway into his leap, a mere half-second after disappearing. When he reappeared, it was also without sound or flash, and he had his momentum restored. He had taken all the extra time he had bought by building up energy to regain his momentum while he was phased out of time and space, and it was with this momentum the he intended to bury his axe into Mufine's spine, the weapon already halfway down by the time he had reappeared.
