Jin glanced at the Abomination with a hint of dread. It was big, but its body wasn't burly. It had rather a slender body type. Two long arms and weird elongated feet and somewhat oval-shaped, resembling the streamlined design of running shoes. Each foot has three claw-like toes at the front. The design of his feet is sleek and aerodynamic. The skin from its entire body from lower body, upper body, unto its head appeared to be pale white, like a sheet of white bond paper.
Suddenly, it turned his head to face them. Its magma-colored eyes were shining brightly as the two of them stared at each other directly in the eye. It didn't have a nose; it was mouthless. There was nothing on its face but two pairs of eyes.
Jin froze and felt his entire body become heavy. 'Crap...'
Like a gust of wind, the white monster appeared beside him. Jin didn't know how such a monster of its size could move at such a fast speed. Just like that, Jin saw a giant fist was already on its way. Its fist was big enough to flatten his entire. There's no doubt that if it hit him defenselessly, he would die. He knew that he wouldn't be able to dodge it. Thanks to his reaction speed and perception, he could see the fist in rather slow motion. However, his body wasn't fast enough to move out of the way, he could only helplessly stare at it.
"Jin!" Fushigiro's eyes widened. He stepped on the ground ten times in a second, intending to Deka Step. But it was already too late as the fist connected to Jin.
"Tekai!" At the last moment, due to the immense pressure from the threat of death. Jin burst and willed all the muscles in his body to contract simultaneously.
BANG!
"Jin!!" Miles cried out as he saw Jin's body shoot out like a kite that broke its string. He crashed into a burly tree, but his body penetrated it and hit another one before he went to a complete stop.
Caleb used his Deka Step and appeared beside Jin. Blood was seeping from his mouth, nostrils, ears, and eyes until blood completely covered his body. His two arms appeared to be twisted.
'Ouch... One man down.' Caleb was completely mortified at the scene. He took in a sharp, cold breath at Jin's sorry state. Just by the looks, he could see that he had suffered a lot of broken bones from that blow. For some reason, Caleb felt that it was very similar to how he died in his first life. 'Please, make him alive.'
Caleb gently placed two fingers, his index and middle finger, on the side of his friend's neck, just below the jawline. He could feel the rhythmic pulsations beneath his fingertips. It was like a subtle but steady drumbeat, a reliable cadence that gave him valuable information about his friend's health.
He focused all the force and strength the body could muster on his single finger and thrust it toward the enemy. To his disappointment, his attack was still halfway when the Abomination disappeared. A bad feeling emerged from his heart as he saw the looming shadow on the ground.
"Captain, behind you!"
Dunn was in the act of plunging his blade towards the monster since he had already moved when their captain attacked. He gave all his force in this one attack. He knew that she had to at least take its attention. Unfortunately, the monster didn't even pay him attention.
"Feathery Body!" Like a swaying leaf, the momentum and kinetic energy of the monster's punch just pushed him out of the way.
At this moment, Dunn's blade left a deep bloody gash as he cut the Achilles Tendon of the opponent. He couldn't help but grin at his success. "You might be fast, but your defense isn't as tough."
*ROARR!!*
"Did he get him?" Andre, who was beside Caleb, asked as he saw how Dunn injured the agile monster.
Hearing Andre's question, Caleb hesitated for a moment before saying.
"I'm not really sure, but... The Achilles tendon is a thick, strong band of tissue that connects the calf muscles to the heel bone Its primary function is to transmit the force generated by the calf muscles to the heel, allowing us to extend our foot downward and push off the ground when we walk, run, jump, or perform any activity that involves pushing off with our toes.
At least, it will surely experience difficulty walking or even be completely unable to walk. This is because the calf muscles can no longer transmit force to the heel effectively. However, we are talking about Apokalip here, not a human, so I'm not entirely sure."
Andre clenched his fist and nodded. While Fatty and Luna listened with pale faces.
