Standing with an imposing presence, Adam glanced around the room.
"Are you my enemy?" [Adam?]
He pointed to Bruce, who was terrified by a single glance.
"N-No! I'm not!" [Bruce]
"..." [Adam?]
Turning to Dante, Adam repeated the question.
"Are you my enemy?" [Adam?]
"...Yes." [Dante]
("D-Dante?!") [Bruce]
Questioning his friend, he was fearful of Adam's wrath.
"..." [Adam?]
Without saying another word, he approached Dante.
("Now!") [Crow]
The single moment Adam had ignored Crow, he fired his gun. Unfortunately for him, Adam reacted at the last minute and dodged.
"..." [Adam?]
He brought a hand to his face, now realizing a cut had appeared on his cheek.
"You…" [Adam?]
Adam shot a piercing glare at Crow, who decided to unload his entire clip at Adam.
"Trifling." [Adam?]
Holding up his index finger, a magic circle surrounded it.
("That's not Compression!") [Bruce]
The next moment went by in a flash. Utilizing his finger, Adam deflected all the bullets with ease.
("What?!") [Crow]
Still frantically pulling the trigger, he was in awe of what just happened.
"Wh-what ability is that…?!" [Crow]
"..." [Adam?]
There was no reply. Adam remained motionless, which allowed Crow to reload his gun.
("I need to find out what his ability is!") [Crow]
Firing away once again, the bullets were deflected with a single finger.
"Wh… Huh?! What level are you?!" [Crow]
"..." [Adam?]
There was no reply.
("This guy…!") [Crow]
He glanced over at Dante, who was slowly moving behind Adam. The moment he got close enough, Dante struck.
("Pulverize.") [Dante]
Raising an arm behind Adam, Dante found himself frozen in fear when he noticed a gaze upon him.
"Your ignorance is astounding." [Adam?]
Moving before Dante could react, Adam slammed the back of his hand into Dante's stomach.
"Guh!" [Dante]
("He noticed?! Damn! I need to make distance!") [Crow]
Thrusting his hand outwards, he sent Adam flying back as Dante fell to his knees.
"..." [Adam?]
As he found himself suspended in the air, Adam immediately repositioned himself as he saw fit.
"Facti te desma mea, Great Burden." [Adam?]
He uttered a few words, suddenly having him drop to the floor with tremendous force.
("Huh…? What did he just…?) [Crow]
Unsure of what just happened, he thrust his hand out a few more times.
"That will no longer work." [Adam?]
"Eh?" [Crow]
Just as Adam had said, he didn't budge.
("No, that can't be…") [Crow]
Swinging his arms around in a flurry, nothing happened.
"My ability… It's not working?!" [Crow]
The compelling force was no more. If it was Adam before, it would have been troublesome. Now, it was like a gentle breeze that seemed to pass by.
"Do you know what you are lacking, O young one?" [Adam?]
He approached Crow slowly, his feet sinking into the floor with every step.
"W-wait! Stay back!" [Crow]
"You, who fear the unknown." [Adam?]
He came closer, already a few feet away.
"A gun…! I need to shoot…!" [Crow]
He tried to reload his gun, only for it to fall out of his hands in a panic.
"You, who relies on paltry tools." [Adam?]
"N-no! Go away!" [Crow]
Falling backwards out of fear, he crawled backwards.
"You, who fails to see the answer before you…" [Adam?]
Standing only mere inches away, he raised a hand like a blade.
"You do not possess it…" [Adam?]
As his hand slowly descended on Crow, a loud bang went off in the background.
("This sound…!") [Crow]
Adam Sliced downwards, splitting a flying object in two. They crashed into the ground behind him, revealing a large bullet cleanly cut in the middle.
"An unyielding will." [Adam?]
