It doesn't help that there's a blatant error. Alice already fell off by the time they're both attacking him, but then is on his shoulders again when they do, before disappearing again on the next page when he takes both shots.Thanks for explaining this--I feel like it was really confusing in the manga, and honestly I still don't completely get it, but at least I understand that Mikagami took a kamikaze action now.
As dynamic as the art is, it really lacks clarity sometimes.
Despite this though, it's a fairly easy to follow logically even with the chaotic visuals. Alice "fainted" after the two were blasted with ice shards. Neither Vivian nor Paula had any reason to waste time or effort on her and could instead just finish Mikagami by launching more attacks than he can redirect for the win. You could argue Vivian would do it out of spite, but she wants a reaction. She's not getting that out of an unconscious person.
Interestingly enough, it's also reasonable to assume he already knew Alice was faking it without a signal in order to make the decision to sacrifice himself to take out Paula given that he continued to make use of her abilities. He knows he can't copy someone who is unconscious.
