Lento let out a furious roar and charged forward.
The stone floor shattered beneath his feet as his enormous body surged toward Adam. His claws scraped against the ground, leaving deep grooves in the stone, while the crimson aura surrounding him flared like an inferno.
Adam tightened his grip on the Soul Reaper's Scythe, his white aura gathering around his body. The moment Lento entered striking distance, Adam shifted his weight and swung the weapon in a wide arc.
Lento raised his massive forearm to block.
CLANG!
The scythe struck the armor-like growth covering his arm. Sparks scattered, and the impact forced Lento's body slightly off balance. But before Adam could follow up, Lento's other fist came crashing toward his head.
Adam leaned aside.
The fist passed close enough to disturb his hair before smashing into the ground behind him.
BOOOOM!
A crater formed beneath Lento's fist, sending fragments of stone flying in every direction.
