Adam's dark pupils gleamed beneath the Faceless Mask.
He could clearly see Damon's dagger move, and from that, he could predict its path and where it was most likely to strike.
The raven-haired youth's vision had sharpened strategically, almost like an extreme refinement of his Sphere of Resonance.
He smiled as he raised his left hand. It appeared to move slowly, yet it left afterimages. The back of his wrist struck Damon's forearm, swatting away the dagger aimed at his neck.
Adam then took a step forward and delivered a claw strike with his right hand.
Hand of Doom: Coiling Palm Strike!
He struck Damon in the chest. At the moment of impact, he twisted his palm. The force of the strike tore Damon's garments open at the back, and a visible gust of wind burst violently outward from him.
The Councilor's eyes widened in shock and fear as he coughed up spit and blood.
