As Herriman disappeared and reappeared behind him Mifune could hear the mans swing. Unfortunately for Herriman, Mifune was moving to fast for his axe to hit him and merely swished down in his wake carrying Herriman forward. His right foot planting as planned Mifune simply pushed off it pivoting and performed a laido slash at Herriman's neck at point blank range. With the mans axe arm down and his claw arm behind him, even if he could see the attack there would be no way for him to block in time, at least not with his arms.
