His eyes blacked out again. Eugene crashed into his shield once more as blood spilled from his mouth.
Too much. He had taken too much damage.
With his surprise not hidden, Eugene looked up.
"Just kidding," Balam said. He crushed the cuffs and threw the chains away. "These don't work on beings with too much energy."
Eugene tried to get up, but his mind was spinning. His ears rang desperately as he neared his limit.
"Well, there go your weapons."
The demon approached, slow and steady.
Balam's hand soared. "Good try, now, I'll show you how to punch."
Eugene tried to move away, but his feet lost balance. Blood poured out from his ears as well from the piled-up injuries.
The demon swung.
Eugene groaned... but the hit never came.
"What the! What is this!?"
Eugene smacked his head and forced his eyes to focus. Wrapped around the demon's arms were chains of pure black. Chains that moved on their own.
