The first slash strikes the creature, causing it to recoil with a pained snarl, only for the entire thing to disappear a moment later, leaving the flames to slice into the ground instead. It's not entirely clear what happened, until a moment later when the bone wolf reappears behind the group, crashing back through them in a thunder of bones and blades and leaping to try to catch Rin in its jaws.

Apparently, along with being a giant bone wolf that shoots lazers, this creature can also teleport.
