There's no way… John thought.
I've already teleported twice. My limit is three.
Vorten pressed forward, engaging in close combat while activating his eye technique—Hizownamaru, which applied crushing pressure to anyone who met his gaze.
John avoided eye contact, blocking kicks and dodging strikes. He countered with a kick to Vorten's jaw and followed with a punch to the abdomen.
Vorten closed his eyes.
Suddenly, a massive boulder descended from above.
"There's no way to beat this guy," John thought.
He dodged, but Vorten unleashed a barrage of enormous boulders. One trapped John's hand.
John screamed in pain.
Another boulder came crashing down—
And then… silence.
"Pathetic," Vorten muttered.
But when he lifted the rock, John was gone.
