True Fear

WHOOOSH!!

Without wasting a second, Theo charged at the Mercenary King.

He was incredibly fast—faster than he had ever been in his life—and his eyes glowed bright amber as the ground beneath him cracked as a result of the immense pressure he put it under. Thrusting with all his strength, he shot his fist forward.

However—

BAM!

"Not bad, kid…" The Mercenary King easily caught his punch, his eyes gleaming silver-gray as he stared at the enraged Theo.

With his initial attack caught by the enemy, Theo leaped and sent a ferocious kick whipping through the air. His powerful feet targeted the King's neck, but the latter raised a hand and blocked the attack right as it was about to hit its target.

Despite seeing this, Theo didn't give up.

His pure animosity towards the man before him protected him from the creeping fear that threatened to paralyze his entire body.
