"You somehow managed to deal a blow to me, now, I'll return that blow back with interest!" As Xerxes exclaimed, he immediately increased his relentless assault.
With a flick of his wrist, the world around Takumi distorted. The ground cracked open, and the very air twisted into impossible shapes.
Takumi's body shifted, his superhuman reflexes desperately trying to adapt, but every motion was met with a new, insurmountable challenge.
Reality was against him, gravity itself twisted, and time became a fluctuating tide, pulling Takumi in every direction.
"Sir Takumi!"
Almost immediately, Takumi felt a sharp pain on his chest. A powerful force overwhelmed him, sending his body hurtling through the air with a great speed.
"That's one." Xerxes vanished from sights, reappearing in the path that Sir Takumi was propelled to. With an outstretch fist to Takumi's chest, he stopped his momentum but sent him hurtling through the air again.
