Aksai's expression turned increasingly grim as he struggled against the corpse's unrelenting grip.
He finally understood the trick behind his opponent's pursuit. While his physical body had remained behind, Kanis had dispatched his Nascent Soul to intercept Aksai before he could escape through the spatial rift.
Understanding the time was of the essence, he gathered his remaining strength and unleashed a series of increasingly violent attacks. He bit his tongue and used a forbidden technique. His druidic powers surged, reinforcing his physique, while his Spirit Spells struck the corpse at point-blank range.
The surrounding air trembled beneath the repeated impacts.
Crack!
A fissure appeared across the corpse's chest.
Aksai seized the opportunity and concentrated his attacks on the damaged area. His fists rained down upon the withered body until its skeletal frame finally began falling apart.
The corpse's arms loosened.
