Akote City,
Shazoo felt the hand clamped around his neck, and his body instantly tensed.
What's going on?
How could someone approach him so silently and seize his vital point in one move?

That thought flashed through Shazoo's mind, but he did not give up resisting. He mobilized the power within his body, preparing for a desperate fight.
Suddenly, he felt an inexplicable force surge from that hand into his body. In an instant, his entire body went numb, as though he had fallen into an ice cellar, and he could not move.

The truth proved that battles between extraordinary beings were not limited to head-on confrontations. Unexpected situations could arise at any time.
Clearly, he had fallen for it
