Dain disappeared from sight, using the changed terrain to his advantage, blending into the grasses.
Ego stood in the midst of the changed terrain, unable to see Dain but remaining vigilant.
Dain moved stealthily within the thick grass, knowing exactly where Ego was from the mark, which relayed Ego's position to him in real time.
With a focused gaze, Dain made his move.
He attained his fastest speed yet, shattering his previous record with explosive acceleration.
Dain moved at a speed 200 times the speed of sound, his movement to Ego taking only a split second in the heightened pace.
He launched the attack at the unsuspecting back of Ego, his claws extended to remove Ego's heart in one decisive strike.
Dain appeared behind Ego, his claws an inch away from Ego's back, but within that split second, Ego caught his hand firmly.
Dain stared at Ego with shock, unable to comprehend how he was caught despite his stealth.
