Seeing the incoming attack, the puppet swiftly raised its forearm and blocked with ease, shrugging off the attack as it immediately caught Asher by the foot. It moved as it tilted to raise him up and slam him into the ground. But the moment Asher was dragged up from the ground, he acted before the puppet could carry out its plan.
His upper body rose and twisted as he caught the puppet by the head with both hands, and without a shred of hesitation, his right knee tore through the air barrier towards the puppet's head.
With a battering impact, knee met wooden temple, the puppet's head snapping sideways as it couldn't block in time. Both of its hands were holding Asher, and it couldn't lean backwards or dodge as Asher had caught its head, preventing all escape.
