The shadow of Thane hovered over the Serpent.
Thane was already in the air.
He had used Esau as a stepping stone, springing off the Groundling's rock-solid arms to launch himself upward while Esau threw him. At the peak of his jump, he activated Spirit Deflecting Strike on the air itself while harnessing some of the magic that he drew from the two staves.
BOOM!
Thane was able to perform the legendary skill that is common in most of the games Thane played as a kid.
The Double Jump!
Thane flew higher using the recoil to push his body even higher, as if he had kicked off an invisible platform.

Two staves were in his hands. He had channeled mana into both, weaving Spirit through the cores and forcing them to resonate together. Flames coiled at their tips like compressed suns, and he took aim at the Blast Serpent, which was slowly turning its head to see the source of the booming sound.
But time moved slowly while the Celestial TV was turned on.
