Nathan's answer to his challenge was placid, "Alright!"
He did not move to dodge this time.
Taking a step forward, he clenched his fingers into a fist and moved to meet Garza's own.
The wind audibly whistled past Garza's fist, such was the speed and power behind his punch.
Nathan's was not as outwardly impressive but there was an underlying strength behind it that was equally terrifying.
As they came close to each other, a bad feeling welled in Garza and his face fell.
However, it was already too late to do anything else.
Wham!
The two men's fists collided.
The immense power behind Nathan's punch fractured all the bones in Garza's arm.
He let out a piercing scream before staggering back.
When he finally steadied himself, he realized his right arm was a bloody mess as it hung limply.
What?
Garza stared at Nathan with a fearful expression on his face.
Teneb was also gaping at him in amazement while the rest of their men were dumbfounded.
Infuriated at being crippled, Garza roared, "All of you, kill him!"
Schnick!
In response, the men pulled out their katanas and shouted, "Get him!"
They swarmed toward Nathan aggressively.
He scoffed and gripped one of the katanas that swung down at him from above.
Applying the slightest bit of pressure, the blade shattered into smithereens.
With a wave of his hand, the razor-sharp fragments shot out toward the Gehenna members.
More than a dozen of them fell to the ground, howling in pain as the fragments embedded them in their skin.
At the same moment, Garza and Teneb sped toward him like two cannonballs.
They were hoping to defeat him by working together!
