His eyes darted rapidly as he gradually adapted to Leon's fighting rhythm.
At last, he caught a punch aimed straight at his face.
"My turn."
Nolan twisted his wrist, overpowering Leon with sheer strength as he prepared to throw him.
Unexpectedly, Leon went with the rotation.
Hanging upside down, he twisted his body and drove a knee toward Nolan's temple.
Bang!
Nolan blocked the move in time, but the knee slammed his hand into his face, leaving a dull ache.
Shit, how did the Imperium train this batch of people?
Why did this brat have so many weird moves? How could he attack from any direction?
Leon always managed to astonish Nolan, but Nolan's hands never stopped moving.
Intelligent Atom exerted his strength. After knocking Leon's knee aside, he threw a heavy punch.
Fueled by the anger of having been hit, the punch carried tremendous force.
Leon was suddenly sent flying, the scenery in his vision stretching into streaks.
Like a stone skipping across water, he struck the ground from time to time before bouncing back up.
Clouds of dust and cracks were left behind.
Nolan pursued him, enduring Leon's counterattacks head-on before returning a knee strike.
Hooks, straight punches, side kicks...
Again and again, with exquisite timing, he disrupted Leon's posture just as it was about to stabilize.
Like juggling a ball, he kept Leon skipping across the ground.
However, during Leon's next counterattack, Nolan finally figured out his pattern.
He grabbed Leon's fist and twisted it with all his strength.
Crack!
Agonizing pain and the sound of breaking bone came at once. Leon kept his expression under control.
Nolan gathered strength in his left hand. Mixed with red dirt, a visible current of air formed around his fist.
"It's time to end this."
Really? I don't believe it.
