The silence shattered as Jack and Hendrix exploded into motion.
"Tch, you're fast!" Jack swung his lightning odachi, aiming for Hendrix's neck.
But Hendrix was gone.
Jack's eyes widened, barely catching the afterimage as Hendrix appeared behind him, delivering a swift kick to his side.
Jack flew several meters, rolling across the cracked ground before springing to his feet. "Oi, you teleporting freak! Stand still, will ya?"
Hendrix's calm voice echoed. "Why should I? This is far more fun."
Before Jack could react, three more Hendrix figures appeared, each moving in a blur. They slashed at him from different angles, forcing him to parry frantically.
"Clones?!" Jack gritted his teeth as he struggled to block the relentless attacks. "Tch, where's the real one?"
"Who knows? Maybe I'm all of them. Or maybe none." Hendrix's voice came from all directions, playful yet sharp.
