The moment Dawn figured out his opponent's ability and set the trap, he had already decided the man's fate. Defeat and death were his only options.
It was merely a torn pant leg. In his opponent's eyes, it had been an insignificant detail, yet it concealed deadly intent.
The Elastic Gel that had originally been stretched taut had not stuck to Dawn, as the man believed. It had actually adhered to the Translucent Shield Dawn had created.
And just as it was about to snap back, it lost its anchor point.
The instant the Soft Adhesive lost its anchor, the suited man staggered as that anchor suddenly vanished.
Dawn kicked off the ground repeatedly and decisively used Shave, vanishing from where he stood. When he reappeared, he had flashed behind the suited man.
The suited man sensed danger the moment Dawn disappeared. His instinct at the brink of life and death told him that Dawn was behind him.
Although he did not know how Dawn had broken free of his adhesive, he had no time to think about it. Sensing the danger behind him had already been a judgment made through experience and instinct.
Though he reacted later, the suited man moved first. His hands had only just created some Elastic Gel, and he was about to control it in hopes of blocking Dawn for a moment, when Dawn's attack had already arrived.
Blood sprayed from the suited man's neck as his eyes widened in disbelief.
So I actually died here... The suited man's final thought flashed through his mind before he sank into endless darkness.
The speed Dawn unleashed at that moment had been far beyond what he had displayed before. Though the suited man had sensed the danger, his body could not keep up, and Dawn killed him
