Geode didn't respond to Oz's onslaught aggressively. Instead, he stood his ground, patiently waiting as his volley of force blasts concussed against the edge of his dark energies. But when Jenso's whip plowed through the cloud and wrapped around his finger, he turned to look at his hand. Unfortunately, the whip disintegrated moments afterwards, pulling his hand only slightly backwards before falling to pieces. The flame saw suffered a similar fate, shrinking until it was nearly nothing. The arcane aspect of the ability faded long before the saw came anywhere near the red portal behind him, flashing in a small explosion of light before disappearing completely. It was clear that Ki was not suffering as quickly as arcane energy, but both seemed to fall prey to the darkness the surrounded Geode and his portal. He simply stood there, waiting as patiently as ever, for his plan to come to fruition.
