As Edward began his approach, it became apparent to the old man that a rush attack would be the easiest and most arrogant option. He knew of Vandenreich and their boastfulness and had decided on a course of action before it came to this. And with his own speed in mind, he frowned and reached out, pulling the limp bodies of his comrades next to him to his front while he took a step back. As Edward landed his attack on the corpse, pulled by strings of fine reiatsu, his hand smashed through the flesh and made it into mush. The old man would then quickly grip both restraints on his gloves while looking at Edward, through his fallen comrade, in the eyes. He yanked the restraints with his teeth, breaking them loose and unleashing all his power into the two bows, one attached to each hand and pulled by the same strings that had pulled his comrade from the earth and as a shield.
Even as his power flowed outwardly, expanding and ebbing with power, the old man began an assault against his adversary. First he used his threads to make the current body in front of Edward try to grab him in a bear hug and trap him against the dead. At the same time he used other threads to pull forth three bodies from the left of Edward, pulling them towards the Vandenreich like ragdolls and keep him confused. With the Old Man's left bow he fired at Edward's right side, not aiming to hit but instead to keep him from backing away from the ragdoll bodies, which were meant to keep him down center lane when combined with the first arrow. With his right bow the old man aimed at Edward's center mass, the arrow flying with all his power. As the arrow would pierce the dead comrade, three would spring out of the original, each a third in power, and curve around the body and aim for Edward's head.
The old man began breathing heavily, feeling the strain of the power inside him beginning to already break him down. This much spiritual energy in such a frail form was almost too much, but he had to keep it going. He needed to avenge those that had fallen, to show these sanctimonious fools that they would not suffer defeat without showing some scars upon their enemies. The Free Quincy would fight to the last and never give up the salvation their people needed most.
As Lucien flew towards the three assassins, they began to move, but the first was nowhere quick enough to evade the strike coming to him, as his body turned, the other pierced his arm and pinned that arm to the side of his body. This was not a lethal blow, but he screamed out in pain, causing his allies to flinch. As they flinched they would witness Lucien appearing from seemingly nowhere, causing the other two to scatter in two directions, one to the east and the other to the west. The one to the East was the first, quickly caught by Edward and thrashed about. The shirt torn from his body would also reveal the glint of several Ginto hidden within the clothes and a Seele Schneider loosely hanging about them. If Edward stopped for a moment before heading towards the last he would see that there more seele schneider around them, at least one easily displayed in the dirt around them.
When approaching the last man, he would be sniveling and pulling the ginto from his shirt, standing before another Seele Schneider planted in the ground, but not visible to Edward unless he had looped around, as the man would have kept his back to Edward and instead been planning to use this suicide attack from the beginning. As the man sobbed, pulling the Ginto from his shirt, he would be muttering a prayer, asking for salvation and forgiveness for his cowardice, leaving his allies behind. He would also be thanking God for his chance to avenge them. "Those assholes took my friends... Thank you God for giving me the chance.... and the pleasure of seeing them in another life!"
