Two figures crossed paths.
With a clang...
A segment of metal fell onto the ground, littered with broken stones, making a muffled sound.
Testom slowly lowered his head, and within his line of sight, that mechanical arm, still attached to half a jacket sleeve, was conspicuously in view. The smooth cut end did not bleed a single drop.
The grey-white artificial muscle fibers wrapped around the titanium skeleton, reflecting a unique luster under the firelight.
Why, after that kid opposite him picked up that ridiculous triangular military dagger, did everything change...
Why did the other's strength and speed suddenly surge several times over in that instant.
"Why!?"
This time, Testom's voice lacked the hunter's derisive sneer towards his prey; what was there was just disbelief.
Thump-thump, thump-thump, the surging heartbeat echoed from within Mu Fan.
