Adam did not wait for the opponent to make the first move. The moment the Blades of Fulgrim settled in his hands, he disappeared from his spot.
Before anyone knew it, he was already right before the burly man from the Demon Fist Sect. No one could see his movements—not even the Magi at the Mana Vortex Rank.
One moment he was there, the next he wasn't.
No spells were used. It was pure skill. With a wide grin etched on his face, Adam raised his hands and viciously brought down the twin blades.
Hisato Arakane of the Demon Fist Sect, however, was immediately startled. But he, too, was an expert who had fought countless battles. Thus, after the initial surprise, he quickly got into position as he raised his guantleted hands forward in a defensive manner.
It was too late to cast spells—Adam did not give him any room to weave hand seals—so he imbued his hands with mana and prepared to take the full brunt of the madman's attack.
