It felt like he was punching a steel plate as Alex withdrew his fist, pain wracking his nerves for a brief moment.
For someone capable of shattering cement blocks with a single blow, the fact that Elizabeth hadn't reacted despite the power he placed behind the punch, further heightened Alex's suspicion that the lady before him was more inhuman than she initially gave off.
Elizabeth didn't budge an inch after Alex's sudden strike and apart from the brief shock she experienced, nothing else happened as she steadied herself and withdrew her blade, drawing blood from Alex's palm.
Despite the injury, Alex remained calm as he knew letting himself panic would spell the end for him.
Back on Earth, Alex could be said to have reached the level of peak human physique, capable of performing feats that very few could match.
But this was Eventide, not Earth.
A place where the supernatural was just as real as the natural.
