The abandoned warehouse was silent. Dust motes danced in the shafts of light. The air was still. Kaito stood in the center of the concrete floor. He faced the entity. Atlas stood ten feet away. He was massive. He was made of stone and metal. He looked like a statue carved from a mountain. His eyes were grey. They looked like polished granite.
Kaito said: "Ready."
Atlas said: "I am always ready."
Kaito lunged. He moved fast. He aimed for the center. He struck with a punch enhanced by Fenrir's strength. His fist connected with Atlas's chest. The sound was like a bell tolling. Kaito's hand stopped. It felt like hitting a wall. Atlas did not move. He did not sway. He did not breathe.
Kuro said: "You are wasting energy."
Kaito said: "Testing limits."
