'Shit.'
Nux cursed.
Just as he expected, the instant the other Nux noticed something out of the norm, he increased his speed. Their exchange, which usually lasted for a few minutes, was now lasting for about 30 minutes. Even when he tried to distance himself, the other Nux followed.
Obviously, the longer the exchange continued, the more mistakes Nux made. A part of his mind was still trying to comprehend the Law of Causality. In simpler language, he was facing his own self, with 95% of his mind focusing on the battle, while his own self was going all in.
Even though Nux was still able to hold on just fine for a few minutes, the moment the battle became longer, he faltered.
And the other him didn't miss that.
Finally, his other self distanced himself from Nux and instead of attacking Nux and taking advantage of his weakened self,
His other self started looking around.
'He realized it.'
Nux narrowed his eyes.
