Unsealing Progress

Nero rushed forward like a mad bull, but unlike before, his explosiveness was gone. Is he trying to pull his punches? This late in the fight?

*BOOM!*

"...!"

Without warning, Nero kicked the ground, sending his body forward like a bullet.

He was flying faster than the speed of sound, judging from the sonic booms he left behind. And he achieved all these with just a simple "leap!"

"Sh*t...!"

I was so surprised by his sudden action that I forgot to move for a split second. His blade was already swinging down toward my face, so it was already too late to dodge!

*ZIIIN!*

Having no choice, I swung my sword to the side, sweeping the enemy's blade out of the way. However, as expected, it was a lot heavier than a simple fist. It's like I'm trying to push hard against a solid wall, not budging at all!
