It deflected all of Akane's strikes with relative ease, but as it was swinging, it was clear to see that the shadow was sacrificing its grip in order to match the speed of the Kill Rush and then some. As the shadow went for a retaliation slash on Akane, Sato launched an arrow from his bow, and combined with a Garu from Chronos, the projectile lodged itself in the shadow's hand with great force. The power of the hit effectively disabled its hand just enough that the sword flew away from it due to the wind blast. The disarmament plan was a success, and the advantage was shifted to the investigation team. As Sato was running back to main group to avoid getting picked off by himself, the other rest of the battlefield lit up in crimson explosions as a hawk cry echoed throughout the room. That bird was so weird. Regardless though, it was their time to strike, so Sato resumed his previous position in the formation and prepared to hit the shadow with Hama as soon as the front-liners gave the signal.
