Raze's hand was wrapped in lightning, the crackling glow coating his skin like living chains of energy. Just like before, his flawless control allowed him to neutralize Kayzel's attack completely, snuffing out its destructive force. But this time, it wasn't just the control that was impressive.
It was the fact that he had blocked the strike at all.
Even with Kayzel's super speed, even when attacking faster than the human eye could track, Raze had still managed to catch the blow.
'This makes no sense,' Kayzel thought frantically, disbelief flickering across his face. 'Even if he got lucky, if he just happened to raise his hand at the right spot at the right moment, the sheer force of my speed should have blown his arm back. But it hasn't. His grip… it's solid. It's like he physically stopped my hand itself! How is that possible?'
