The scale salamander was fast but Eugene was faster due to Raging Momentum.
However, it was able to send a blast of steam endlessly and Eugene had to keep dodging.
Just the proximity of the heat was burning Eugene's beastly body which says he clashes with it.
Of course, Eugene wasn't just running, he was accumulating force. Raging Momentum created some sort of cushion force that reduced friction.
This way he can accelerate continuously and also use the force to attack. That was the plan.
He was about to turn and attack when suddenly a shadow was cast on them. Before anyone can react something heavy slammed at Eugene.
Something impaled him to the left and he was sent flying away as well as a crushing force pressed around his body.
The automatic dispersal of Inertia Redirection force reduced the crushing force and allowed him to look around.
