Invisible once again, Loki nimbly jumped over the two foolish mortals still trying to move forward. The illusions multipled; he let Soma and the Once-ler run through a few of them, let the illusions splinter into random bits of light so they could realize that most of the images weren't real.
And then behind the crowd of laughing, grinning images he stopped and let the invisibility drop away, putting himself directly in the way of the Once-ler as if he was just one more illusion, his knife out and at the ready.
Likely the mortal would either be foolish enough to run in to him - at which point Loki was basically an imovable object with a sharp point ending in a point at waist-height - or the Once-ler would try to dodge around and Loki would have the chance to hamstring him or even more ideally cut one of his tendons.
He hoped that would be enough. He really didn't want to have to do the same to Soma. "You realize that there isn't a cure," several of the images of Loki informed Soma as she moved past. "It's just another part of the game. They're manipulating us all."
