At the same time, Ethan fired the Grappling Hook and dragged himself backward, barely managing to evade the punch after slowing it down with the debris and creating distance through the hook.
All of that—
Just to avoid a single attack.
And the moment he escaped it, another came immediately after.
The Iron Demon charged forward again and erased the distance between them in less than a second.
Ethan was instantly dragged back to square one.
This time, he hurled the Executioner's Sword itself at the demon.
The sword spun violently through the air.
This was its strongest ability—
A rotating strike capable of tearing through metal itself.
The Iron Demon met the spinning blade with nothing more than a sideways punch using the back of his fist.
Metal collided against metal.
The shrill sound of impact exploded through the street hard enough to rupture ears.
