I held his hand in place. I didn't want to give him the opportunity to strike again, if only to delay his reaction for a second. In that second, I unleashed everything that I had held inside my shadow realm.
Immediately, the shadow beneath my feet began to swirl and dance. But this time, it seemed different. The shadows felt as if they were given life. They danced and began to spread out onto the rooftop. Damian's eyes widened, and he swung his arm like an axe, aiming to decapitate me.
My mind was foggy from being impaled in the chest, but I held onto every bit of my consciousness and I swung my head forward in an effort to headbutt him, but at my level, my speed couldn't possibly compare to his.
