'Their duration ends?' Joe thought in surprise when he saw his Spectral Blades disappear. Time's up? Was that what his opponent meant by the words?
While he was taken aback by the event, Spring twisted his sword and slashed Joe's wrist. Joe hurriedly retreated and started casting another spell. Spring's hammer and longsword disappeared, replaced by his blue spear again. He made successive stabs, causing Joe difficulty in casting.
Joe's projection returned. Confident that his projection would hinder Spring, Joe resumed his casting. The projection slashed at Spring. Spring, however just rushed ahead without stopping.
Joe was confused by Spring's action, but he was then stunned when his projection also vanished just before its slash hit Spring.
'Duration ends again?' Joe thought in alarm.
