The blond man didn't teleport. He was pulled to the sword he launched away at an inhuman speed by an invisible force and yes, it was the gauntlet that allowed him to do that. Think of the airstep ability in Kingdom Hearts 3 where Sora can quickly dash to a shotlocked target in an instant. It's the same mechanic except I'm also including the insane momentum from going too fast.
That's also why the blond man was reluctant to use that ability since his legs and right arm are not in the right condition to help keep him catch his bearings after the momentum-based dash. The sword was also lying flat on the ground the last time he used it, so he ended up skidding to it with his body flat on the ground. Rough terrain plus friction burns from going too fast. Ouch.
"As I whip out my Boomstick!" was not a direct quote but it was a reference to the movie, "Evil Dead" where the protagonist, Ash easily defeats a group of attacking medieval knights and a sorcerer by powering through their shields, armor, and magic with a chainsaw and a shotgun (American Isekai! XD). He also scared the rest of the people by calling the shotgun a "Boomstick." You can look it up on Youtube, or I can link you the video if you like. :)
Since crime is considered legal in San Desquiciado, most people there have developed a lack of remorse for killing since they don't have to worry about their criminal records getting defiled by the act when they leave the district to go back to their regular lives outside it.
As hinted by his response to the blond man's armor-piercing question, Davis has killed someone before that recent moment he shot Josh the hooligan in the stomach. Davis points out, however, that he only did something like that while he was in San Desquiciado and he's not proud of the times he did so.
I'm very glad you liked the Wolfsbane! I think there's some potential for creative uses with its function and I'm happy I was able to showcase Fenris' physical capabilities while wielding it. We're not even digging into his [Laws] yet, but I hope the name of the one that was mentioned here may give you an idea on what it will do. Maybe not exactly, but an idea at least.
I hope I covered all headscratchers you may have gotten from this chapter. If not, feel free to ask away! Just like you, I absolutely love answering questions regarding my novel!
So yeah, that's it for now. I'm also excited for the next chapter as well. Who did Davis recognize in the end? A hint to that will be given in a future tweet!
