"Shut up and fight."
Krozak's voice rumbled like an earthquake, and in the next instant—
BOOM!
He launched himself forward, a blur of black exoskeleton and abyssal flames.
But Adam?
He didn't move.
At least, not in a way anyone could see.
With the slightest tilt of his body, he stepped just outside of Krozak's path, dodging so smoothly it looked effortless.
For a brief second, time seemed to slow—
Krozak's massive form sailed past him. His six glowing eyes tracked Adam, realizing his attack had missed.
And then—
CRACK!
Adam's forehead slammed into Krozak's face with a devastating headbutt.
BOOOOOOM!
Krozak's body shot backward like a cannonball, crashing through the air before slamming into the far side of the arena. The ground shattered beneath him, cracks spreading out like a spiderweb.
The stadium went silent.
Adam exhaled slowly, lowering his head. Then, as he took a step forward—
BOOM.
The ground beneath his foot cracked.
Another step—
BOOM.
