Caelum was the first to move.
No Transfer.
No Dominion.
No thousands of lines moving the world for him.
Even so, fast.
Very fast.
Damon only saw the fist because he was already expecting it.
He tilted his body.
The blow passed by his face.
The sword rose.
Caelum caught the blade with his hand.
Blood appeared in his palm.
He did not even blink.
Damon smiled.
"That."
Caelum frowned.
"What?"
"Now you bleed."
Damon kicked his knee.
Caelum released the sword and stepped back half a pace.
Ester appeared from the side.
Three needles.
One in the shoulder.
One in the thigh.
One below the ribs.
Caelum swung his arm.
The wave of energy threw Ester backward.
Xue Mei caught her before she hit the ground.
"Thanks."
"Later."
Caelum looked at the needles.
Pulled out the first one.
Ester smiled.
"I wouldn't do that."
He stopped.
Too late.
The energy around his arm failed.
Caelum narrowed his eyes.
"Circulation block."
"Temporary."
She threw another.
