The man moved fast, but Ander caught on to what he was doing just in time. He bit down, snapping off whatever was left on the breadstick, letting it fall, as he himself vaulted off the tip of the tower. He used His large crystal to speed him down to then ground. While Paige saw the illusion from of the reflector mage the someone was behind her, dagger up and ready to strike down on her. Without thinking, just reacting, Ander pulled up on the diving crystal and tossed himself in midair. "Crystal form: blade," he said, just above a whisper. When he let go of the crystal, he spun, equipping the crystal into his katar's handgaurd. The man never saw it coming, he didn't think his enemy would come from above. In that instant of surprise, Ander drove the sharp crystal into the man's chest, slamming and pining him to the ground. It wasn't the reflector mage, just a lackey.
"Pull yourself together or leave!" Ander shouted as he walked up to the illusion of the shocked man. He casually did a backhand slash at it and it dissolved. "Trust your eyes, and you're dead."
