Ethan had been waiting for this.
He took a single step forward, letting the blade miss him, and tossed the energy sphere in his palm behind his back.
Silas's knife cut through empty air.
For the first time, real fear stirred inside him.
A spatial gate opened behind him at once.
But the energy sphere Ethan had thrown overhead earlier came falling back down. The two spheres collided in front of Silas and detonated simultaneously.
Violent white light filled his vision.
Everything around him rapidly lost its color until nothing remained but an endless expanse of white. Silas stood at its center, his black suit the only visible stain in the entire world.
Ethan turned around, another energy sphere forming in his palm.
Dark clouds gathered overhead.
"Well?"
He looked at Silas.
"Want to try that again?"
Ethan's grin widened.
"It's been a long time since I've had this much fun in a fight."
Silas stared at him coldly.
