The audience gasped.
Even Echo, watching intently from the stands, narrowed his eyes.
'This ability… It's simple, yet terrifying in its application.'
Sobako wiped the blood from his mouth.
His breaths came heavy and ragged, but his eyes remained sharp.
Then
He grinned.
"Looks like I'll have to take things up a notch," Sobako muttered.
The crimson glow around his hands intensified. The air itself seemed to distort around him.
Timaro raised an eyebrow.
"Oh? Still got some fight left in you?"
Sobako stomped the ground.
And then—
He moved.
Faster than before.
Much faster.
Timaro barely had time to react before Sobako was already in front of him.
"Explosive Impact."
Sobako's glowing fist slammed into Timaro's chest.
Then—
BOOOOOOM!
A colossal explosion erupted on impact, the force of it blasting Timaro across the battlefield.
For the first time in the fight—Timaro was sent flying.
The crowd went silent.
