As she shot forward, Seth brought his arms up in a cross-block.
Her fist slammed into his forearms with a hard thud.
The force of it sent a shock up to his shoulders.
He pushed back, shoving her arm away, and tried to counter with a quick jab at her ribs.
Miss Brown twisted, taking the hit on her side with barely a grunt.
She immediately grabbed his extended arm, pulling him off balance, and drove a knee towards his stomach.
As the fight occurred, Seth realized a problem...
Although [Null Presence] made him passively stronger and faster than a normal person, it was just a general boost...
Meanwhile her ability, [Blessed Body and Mind], was specialized!
Her body was unnaturally tough, like hitting hardened leather over stone...
Her mind was constantly clear and focused, immune to the disorienting effects of a fast-paced fight.
He was enhanced, but she was basically built for this.
They exchanged a flurry of blows in the dim alley—blocks, parries, quick strikes.
