The first is when Hikami was slowly raising the power level to the point where he could actually overpower Akatsuki - at which point he was about 70% linked to the power from Myuu and the system, which was actually already more than what he wanted to use (IIRC he planned that 50% was the optimal number, 80% is the maximum safe limit, 90% is pushing the system).

However when he beat down Akatsuki it also lead to Akatsuki's "awakening" (of which Hikami speculated might be Akatsuki's conceptual ability - to project himself in ki) which then reversed the situation. Hikami wasn't able to do anything to Akatsuki's ki projection as said before since it's just Akatsuki's existence manifested in ki so Hikami was fighting pretty much a ghost which he can't kill, but at the same time using this skill would exhaust Akatsuki's own conscience (when in this form Akatsuki's physical body is actually unconscious, so you can sort of view it that his soul left his physical body and instead uses ki to form a temporary one which he controls) so it's a double edge sword.

That was when Myuu was able to reverse the flow of the energy into Hikami to below 50% and she also called out to Akatsuki to wake up, and with Akatsuki learning a few new methods of controlling his ki from when he was in his projection form (such as mixing Renkankekikou with the Absolute Barrier thus massively increasing his defence ability against powerful magic), and that was enough for Akatsuki to kill Hikami.

Spoiler for reply&question:

And Hikami didn't think of attacking Akatsuki's unconscious body?Or did he use his ki projection to protecthimself?
