It took just one exchange to show the kind of monster Klaus is now facing. So, without holding anything back, he attacked, and the Monk saw and felt the danger.
A sonic boom tore through space as Klaus reappeared at the monk's flank, his scythe sweeping in a vicious arc meant to cleave him in half.
Blood-red energy trailed behind the scythe, filling the air with danger.
The monk's foot slid back half a step, his body twisting just enough for the blade to graze past his robe, slicing an empty void.
He formed complex hand seals using his hand hidden behind his back, while the other remained in a prayer-like posture. Golden symbols suddenly flared beneath the monk's feet.
The next instant, without Klaus even noticing, the monk's palm struck forward.
It was a simple movement of his palm, and the blow landed without sound—but Klaus felt it.
