Chapter 25: Ch 25 - End of the Second Trial (2)
Damon stood right before Kai, at a distance that barely surpassed the length of a full arm.
His right hand clenched tightly into a fist—nerves bulging on the back of his hand—retreated all the way back to his shoulder, ready to launch itself towards Kai at any moment with all of its strength.
His body which was previously only slightly taller than Kai’s, now looked almost double his size.
It was a battle where even a child could easily tell the winner. It almost looked like a face-off between a well-grown Tank like Mammoth and a half-dead Lion’s cub.
Kai knew that it was a fight that seemed nearly impossible for him to win, and yet, he decided to tighten his grip on the spear.
His eyes focused on Damon, scanning even the smallest bits of his movements. He didn’t have any definitive response, but he could feel it better than anything else:
’The moment I take my eyes off of him, my head will go flying...’
His brows were narrowed—almost tensed—as he pondered whether to attack first or not.
’If I attack first, then he’ll have sufficient time to launch a counterattack, but if I let him take the first hit and fail to dodge his attack, it’ll mark the end of my life.’
Kai couldn’t help but let his mind be swarmed by all kinds of thoughts as he could feel the slight sensation of numbness returning to his body.
"I can’t delay this any longer—" As he muttered under his breath, for a split second, he saw Damon’s fist slightly move.
It was a tiny movement. Small enough to deceive anyone into thinking that his hand hadn’t moved at all.
