Because of Rage's rising strength, the dart had been pushed to the point where it was about 5 eighths of the way into Rage. When it exploded, it created a hole inside of Rage, and tore up JJ's clothing and some of his muscles. However, Rage kept him mostly intact. So, JJ threw Despair at Cannon, and it landed blade-first into the ground next to him. So, he teleported to it. JJ's left hand, left ankle, and left side were all damaged. However, his right side was still operating fully. That way, he could still try to kill Cannon. Now upon Cannon once more, he slashed at his undamaged leg, attempting to cut the other artery.
