The silhouette was by far the fastest entity I had ever seen. Every punch it threw felt like a bullet passing by. But despite this, I was somehow dodging it. Maybe it was because this was in my mind. Or maybe I'd been strong from the start—after all, it only landed a hit the first time because it caught me off guard.
Whatever the reason may be, I was keeping up. Every punch would just nearly miss me, graze my hair, touch my ear. I was hanging on without a shadow of a doubt, but this was tiring. It was clear that my Endurance Boost skill wasn't activated.
In fact, I couldn't activate any skill. Whether it was Instinct or Hand-to-HandCombat, none of my skills would activate.
Unfortunately for me, we were at a standstill, every punch it threw I could dodge. The problem was that I doubt this entity could get tired. I on the other hand, was already getting exhausted.
Eventually, I would run out of steam and that would be the end for me.
I needed to attack.
