Chapter 37: Adam Black Vs Ûtá
Swoosh!
I leaned backwards and watched Ûtá’s strike fly over me—just inches away from my nose. I jerked back up and quickly turned to meet his dagger with my Rai’ki!
Peng!
Sparks escaped our clash as we both reached for each other with our free hands. Ûtá grabbed me by the collar of my jacket while I grabbed his neck.
Simultaneously, we pulled each other in for a headbutt—smashing into each other’s skulls with a loud bang!
For a moment, my vision turned white and I staggered back. A static sound rang in my ears and my vision cleared a bit, revealing Ûtá charging towards me with his bone dagger raised.
’How is he able to recover so fast when we both have a similar strength stat?!’
My brain was disoriented, but centuries of experience allowed me to act decisively even in this condition.
[Door Skill Activated!]
Two spatial gates yanked open. One beneath me and one above the enemy.
I fell in before his attack could reach me and fell out of the second gate, swinging ruthlessly. My intention was to stab his skull, but my spatial gate placement was a bit off due to my disorientation.
