[Taking that lowering of speed as his cue to prepare, Shun opens up the lighter again, flicking the flame back into existence. By the time Kanade makes that warcry, Shun's practically on the same wavelength already, and in a quick, sweeping motion to make sure they don't get caught up in it themselves, he sets the drifting particles alight. In the next instant, he dips his weight towards the open air on their other side, to help Kanade get away from the blaze faster.
The flaming chain reaction moves quickly - it's not quite a flour explosion, but the spread isn't unlike it either. The ayakashi twist and shriek as the fire licks at them, hurting even if it doesn't have the power to kill them, and though the embers die as fragments of the ayakashi go ashen and fall away, there still seems to have been more than sufficient injury and distraction to make this easier.
Crouching low to Kanade's back in readiness, Shun pockets the lighter again and holds on.]

Let's make this quick.
