I'm glad that others came to the same conclusion I did, Incubus is saying "Do you understand now? Don't use powers, RUN, WITH YOUR FEET"

Allison's ridiculous Rayuba outfit might not be ideal for that, but she can always strip - you just know that Vigilant Gaze has another Dad Cloak of Decency to cover up the nips so people don't get whiny

Well yeah, i get panels 1 and 2, the rest is a mystery. Why are there sigils floating in the air? What are the yellow and orange lines, and why are they making a vvvvvvvv noise? Is he recalling his swords to himself or preparing some big attack? Is the Supreme Divine Art to make swords fly, or is something else happening?

He throws a big flying sword at Incubus and it connects. That's gotta hurt

In the last panel he's pulling more swords out of the ground, ready to be thrown at someone else.

He's posing while his sword are summoned back to his side, while magic symbols manifest to indicate that he's about to do something sick as hell.

It took me a couple seconds to notice that Incubus was being pushed away by a sword in the first panel, not the least because I was expecting a larger sword.

I think it's probably the most appropriate font choice tbh, it's just the rest of the internet at large that changed how people perceive it.

It's the sort of no-nonsense, no-loving-around font you'd see used as the translation for a big 2-page splash panel of an old fighting manga, overlaid on top of the impact-font-like, vertical-oriented kanji of the attack name on the side.

The tether is still attached. Sort of suspecting that 'Blood Draining' isn't a figure of speech, and Jagg has just stolen some of Incubus's poo poo as well.

I went back and checked, and it's the same font used for PERFECT KILL: TOTAL LIFE ANHILATION which is an incredible panel, so I guess it's not the font itself I'm reacting to, more the placement. The text overlaps with the already busy sword effects, diluting the effect and making the contrast between the hand-drawn text and the font more noticeable. Compared to the PERFECT KILL which has half the panel composition dedicated to it.

It also punctuated the end of PERFECT KILL: TOTAL LIFE OBLITERATION, a technique you'd just witnessed in full. Here, you've just seen Incubus get pushed by something (which he's very clearly blocked) into a large body of water with a really big splash. I have no loving idea what BLOOD DRAINING SWORD-SOUL just did.

If I had to take a guess, Jagganoth is using the soul of a sword to drain blood of his enemy.

So a not-quite physical manifestation of a sword that stabs you and eats your blood.

Yeah, that I can agree with. Still pretty menacing nonetheless.

It's a blood draining sword not a blood drowning sword.

If you have Head of John and your blood is drained do you just become like, a mummy head?

magic manga powers have cool names that don't always perfectly describe what the power does, because the #1 rule for naming manga powers is to sound cool as hell

all we need to know from this page is that Jagganoth has powers with cool names and Incubus just got rekt

Yeah, agreed. Unlike with Solomon David, we're seeing the technique name here before the result. Jagganoth is calling his attack.
