For the past thirty minutes, the fire orbs had been raining down on Adam as he dodged or blocked them with his needle.
With great difficulty, Adam managed to destroy each one, matching his pace to Lakma's.
Moreover, he felt that the more time passed, the slower Lakma became, and her attacks were no longer as aggressive as before.
"How much strength do you have left?" Adam narrowed his eyes as he stepped forward to block another fire orb.
Clash!
Sparks and fiery clumps flew past his face, but his blue eyes remained calm.
Adam had never had to resort to such tactics to defeat an opponent before, but he had no other choice.
"She wants to devour me. It's her only way to preserve that inner space for a few more years, but… even if she does, she's doomed."
Slash!
Adam swung his needle, slicing through the fire orb as his body trembled.
He decided to end it quickly, because if he inflicted even one significant wound on Lakma, she would lose her energy reserve.
