Conflicting Kill

While John was able to resist the effects of the explosion and surge through it towards the man, the man was not able to, and after defending against the attack, was unable to react to John's incredible speed and power.

Puh!

The man coughed out a thick stream of blood as he reached out and grabbed onto John's outstretched arm to remove it, his actions completely instinctual. He quickly realized he was done for, and instead dropped his hands to his side as he stared at John with a conflicted expression.

"You truly….are…an Asura…" the man said heavily while coughing out blood constantly.

John's cold and unflinching gaze stared at the man in silence, letting him say his final words before his inevitable demise. The mans pained and dazed expression eventually turned into a small smile, something that surprised John slightly, and he tilted his head sideways in questioning confusion.
