THE FOURTH SEAL
The blade may have felt awkward, and unfamiliar in Jun's hand, but it sank deep and effortlessly through the wraith's defenses all the same, passing through the military -grade weave and padding as though it were the most delicate of silk.
And yet, where Jun expected to feel the warm, familiar sensation of parting flesh and splitting organ tissue, instead there was...nothing, as though he had jammed his knife into a balloon, or a particularly thick tire.
What's more, looking up to meet the lifeless, eerie gaze of his target, he noticed a disturbing lack of reaction, for what, for most other people, would be an assuredly fatal wound.
In fact, it almost seemed as if it were preparing itself for Jun's strike, and before Jun could ponder to what end, the specter suddenly came back alive, it's hand reaching oppressively for Jun's still outstretched arm.
A sharp gasp of surprise escaped beneath his breath, wincing as an iron-like vice wrapped around his wrist, which turned into a startled cry as the specter suddenly threw it's entire body backwards, forcefully dragging Jun with him.
W-what's with these guys!? Jun thought to himself in panic, his entire body nearly lifted entirely into the air by the force of the ghost's pull.
Worst still, he could hear the sound of footsteps to his flank, and the metallic click of a collapsable baton coming unfurled above him.
Looking over his shoulder confirmed his fear; the specter's friend had avoided mini-rev's spear and was now poised to strike him down.
"Awawawa!! W-wait a sec!!" Jun nervously exclaimed.
There was little he could do to break the hold on his arm, and from his position, he wouldn't be able to dodge in time.
He braced himself for the blow that was sure to come, ready for the visceral pain of a pair of shattered ribs.
But then, a familiar wave of shadow suddenly washed over him, blocking the specter from sight.
The gaseous, oblique pall impeded the attacking phantom's advance just enough to give Jun's feet time to land back on the floor, regaining his balance.
With a slight smile, Jun breathed a sigh of relief, and shouted, "Thanks for the save, Mini-Rev!"
Before the ghost holding him could toss him around again, Jun went back on the offensive, his right hand, still clutched tight in his opponent's grip, suddenly abandoned it's grip on the knife, his left hand deftly moving in to replace it.
He clutched the knife still embedded in the ghost's body in a reverse grip, high-frequency vibrations trembling from his body flowed into the blade, emitting a dangerous, low-pitched hum.
"Hands..." Jun growled, before viciously dragging the blade to the right, cutting a gruesome swath across the specter's abdomen, through the ghost's bowels, but he wasn't done there, dexterously flicking the blade up, into an upright grip.
"...OFF!!"
In an upward swing, Jun sliced through the arm holding him prisoner, severing it from the ghost's body at the forearm in a deadly arc.
At the same time, he threw his body to right, rolling along the ghost's freshly "disarmed" side to put his now ex-captor in between him and his still-armed comrade.
"I can handle these small fries! Just make sure you don't die so we can have a snowball fight later!" Jun yelled in response to Henry, disregarding how close he came to getting pulverized mere moments ago.
Twirling the knife menacingly in his hand, he stares down the wounded specter before him, muttering to himself, as he draws the blade in a fighting stance.
"Not gonna go down so easy? I'll just have to chop you guys up so you can't move anymore..."
