A foothold formed above Malakai's legs, and he shot towards the ground like a diving hawk.
The sharp whistle of a blade tearing through where he had been moments ago rang out.
The synergy stage evolved shot his cold gaze towards Malakai.
"You're not going anywhere!"
He thundered, blasting downward and landing meters away from Malakai's crouched figure. A pool of blood had formed from the severed limbs of the node formation evolved, but the synergy stage barely registered it.
His blood whirled around his side, shifting between several shapes. His eyes only saw Malakai, but he barely registered that the boy had taken off his shoes.
"I don't know where the hell you gained this power from, but you're outmatched. You can't win."
The man spat, taking a step towards Malakai, who was now standing straight. Utterly silent.
He was backed to a corner in the room, and as the man neared, a smirk soon appeared on his face.
