Octina's body was far too fast for me to react to and her battle experience far surpassed my own after surviving for thousands of years.
But her strength was suppressed.
I swung Kosetsu once, spreading its shards around me like satellites orbiting my body while reinforcing my body with Vectors.
Before I could even properly react, she was already in front of me.
Her fist was pulled back as she punched straight towards my gut, her hand slipping between the shards of Kosetsu with fluid precision.
Fuck!
Her fist connected before I even had a chance to dodge.
Despite the pain erupting throughout my entire body and blood staining my lips, I channeled as much of the momentum from the attack through my body as I could before dispersing it into the air, minimizing the damage while storing some of that momentum within my limbs.
Still, the remaining force was enough to lift me completely off the ground and hurl me towards the ceiling of her core at incredible speed.
