As Alina witnessed Hobe's attacks growing increasingly precise, a puzzled expression crept onto her face.
Hobe's approach was undeniably peculiar.
It dawned on Alina that this man possessed the ability to mimic her own. However, she held the belief that replicated abilities would prove difficult to employ effectively.
Yet, in the hands of Hobe, every strike turned out to be remarkably potent.
In their ongoing clash, Alina's sword clashed once again with Hobe's baseball bat.
Unexpectedly, this time, Hobe's baseball bat was cleanly severed, the digital fragments scattering like shattered code.
In that very moment, as Alina anticipated a potential advantage, Hobe's hand swiftly found its mark on her abdomen.
"Urghhh!!!" The impact forced her to stagger back several steps, a testament to the unexpected and forceful efficiency of Hobe's altered tactics.
