The five figures of Jason launched their attacks at the giant leech monster at almost the same time. And unlike his other attacks with shadows of himself, this time the other four figures of Jason launched different kinds of attacks aiming at different parts of the leech monster’s body - two aimed at the monster’s throat, and two aimed at two different spots on the monster’s body, while Jason focused his attack on the one headed leech monster being devoured.
The giant leech monster growled and flailed its tail at Jason, all four figures of Jason were hit and crushed into shiny pieces of silver energy in the air, while Jason himself conjured a silver energy shield, which was also shattered by the impact and he was thrown through the room and crashed into several desks and file cabins.
“Fire! Fire!” one of the officers that were just rescued by Jason yelled as he opened fire with his silver handgun at the giant leech monster. The flames coming out of the muzzles of the gun, just like the guns themselves, were also silvery white in color, and the bullets shot out by the gun were condensed bolts of silvery blue energy. All five of the officers started firing their silver guns created by Jason. For different officers, the energy bolts fired from their silver guns seemed to have slightly different colors and different effects on the leech monsters - some seemed to penetrate the monster’s skin, some seemed to explode on impact and some seemed to lit up in flames on the monster’s body and skin. These attacks seemed to have successfully inflicted some level of pain on the giant leech monster by piercing its skin, burning and breaking the now relatively tiny human arms on the side of its body, which caused it to flinch, squirm roll on the ground while trying to completely swallow the one headed leech monster in its mouth.
After being tossed through the room, Jason bashed the ground with his left hand and sprung his body up using the reaction force. The next moment, he leapt on a pillar then charged at the giant leech monster again by launching himself from the pillar. This time, it was not his figure that split into other clones, but his pen-spear. When Jason swung his silver pen-spear in the air, the few dozens of afterimages of the glowing pen-spear became silver energy shadows in the air, and were instantly launched by Jason at the giant leech monster from all different angles.
Out of the few dozen shadows of his pen-spear, three of them were actually directed at the giant leech monster’s mouth, while it was still trying to devour the one headed leech monster. When the other shadows of the pen-spear struck the giant leech monster, the three silver shadows of the pen-spears pierced through the one-headed leech monster’s body, and through which they entered into the giant leech monster’s body. And along with the push from the shadows of the silver spears, the giant leech monster finally swallowed its kin fully into its belly.
Jason laughed out loud as he launched himself to the side using an explosion of silver energy from his left hand. The silver pen-spear in his hand glowed in silver light and released a silver energy wave that swept through the giant leech monster’s body, and all of the energy constructs Jason launched through his attacks into the one-headed leech monster and thus into the giant leech monster exploded into several spinning saw blades and cut through the internal parts of the monster’s body from inside out.
The monster cried, wiggled its long and bloated body and flailed its long tail at Jason once again, but Jaosn just leapt to the side and moved out of the range of this attack just in time.
Two silver saw blades cut through the skin of the leech monster and exposed their spinning blades. Foul smelling blood came out of the grevious wounds on the monster’s body, but the monster’s crying and moaning did not stop, nor did the movements of its body parts - even when essentially cut into three pieces, the head and tail of the leech monster still moved around like they were individual entities.

“Oh man! You did it!” one of the officers congratulated Jason: “You killed that thing!”
Jason did not answer - something still seemed quite wrong here, mostly because even though the leech monster’s life had started withering away, he did not sense any changes it made to the environment around. To his knowledge, the “death” of creatures in the limbo tended to leave some kind of mark in the environment, since limbos were, in essence, special realms of consciousness, memory and even minds themselves, and if any of the actual beings in the limbos was eliminated, the parts of the limbos that were reflections or reconstructions of their memories, their minds and even their hallucinations and illusions would be lost. But somehow, the “death” of the one headed leech monster and this giant leech monster did not cause even a single change in this limbo.
Jason swung his spear again, and a gush of silver energy pushed the head of the giant leech monster out of the entire building. And with a command sent from his mind, the head of the giant leech monster exploded when it was at a safe distance away from the precinct building. Still, no changes in this limbo.
“How are you feeling right now?” Jason came over and asked the five officers he just rescued.
“Tired - these guns - these guns seemed to be draining our energy.” a short officer wearing a pair of glasses asked Jason: “Can you tell me what these guns are right now?”
“They’re actually draining your energy, yes.” Jason answered, and after a short moment of hesitation he decided to turn on “speaker” mode of these weapons and spoke to all those who held the silver weapons through them: “Everyone listen to me. My name is Jason, I am the one who just gave you these weapons. We are still in danger so I will keep this short. This place is called a ‘limbo’, and it’s basically a realm of consciousness and the mind. These weapons I gave you literally convert your will power into energy attacks that could help you fend off hostile entities of this place. So, to stay alive, you will need to focus and will your survival through your weapons. They are weapons of will. And to get out of this place, we need to either: find the entry point of the limbo through which your consciousness can all return to your own bodies or find a way to create one; or, we can find the way to crush this limbo at a controlled pace and squeeze you guys out.”
The officers started murmuring, and Jason could hear some of them asking all kinds of questions through the weapons like they’re walkie-talkies.
“For now, officers and detectives, I think it should be safe to gather around, so if you haven’t done so, find your peers and gather around and make yourselves safe through numbers. Oh, and watch out for each other and control the rate you use the weapons.”
