While Benedict was being tortured, Erik and Floyd were in a tough fight against Slice. Luckily, the man didn't have a weird brain crystal power; he only conjured a sword.
However, he was a master swordsman; he made bizarre and unpredictable movements, and only thanks to Floyd's power, the two were able to, more or less, fight against him.
Floyd used a lot of his mana since he had to fight against the assassin's immense strength. It meant he wasn't going to last for long.
Floyd targeted the assassin's legs to impair him. However, the truth was that Slice let the young man do that on purpose.
Like Laser, he was a sadist who craved the sense of superiority he felt while fighting others.
He craved the moment his enemies understood they couldn't win against him and the despair overwhelmed them.
