The fight against Sano and Natta unexpectedly turned into a sparring match against Gladius.
It was hard to call Adam the winner of the second battle, but he certainly didn't lose.
Crack.
With difficulty, Adam got up from the ground, the pebbles crunching under his boots.
"Agh… Agh… Agh…"
He was breathing heavily, clutching his stomach.
'How strange. Gladius's attacks… they're… they're not what I was prepared for.'
Sano and Natta used everything they had, their abilities and even the Monster Nexuses, which Adam had never heard of before.
However, their battle proved less difficult and stressful for Adam than a few minutes of fighting against Gladius.
Deep down, Adam knew that Natta and Sano wouldn't be able to kill him or inflict serious damage on him. He realized this right at the start of their fight.
But Gladius's attacks?
That was something else.
Adam was afraid of missing even a single direct strike, especially when it was a palm strike.
