Kairos fought back against the cloaked monster desperately. He didn't know when, but at some point, the invisibility from it was dispelled. That kinda made sense, as it didn't really matter at this point, now that they were in this deadlock.
Unfortunately, that deadlock was going to be broken soon, and not in a way that was advantageous to Kairos.
The dagger continued to split his hand apart, and soon, he wouldn't be able to hold on anymore. Despair was settling in the back of his mind, but he hadn't given up just yet. His thoughts were chaotic, to the point it felt like he was scrambling for any solution he could get.
More and more of his muscles were being cut through. Eventually, he no longer had the confidence to hold onto the dagger, feeling that it would slip at any moment now.
His thoughts got even more chaotic.
But then... they suddenly stopped.
