>>5476969At hearing this the elderly man's entire continence changes, frowning as he glares at you.
“So, you're the so-called Dragon of New Salda, Karn.” the old man says, and despite not taking a ready stance, you can just tell he's ready to spring into action at a moment's notice. This being is different from any of the Zoldycks you've encountered before, even Zeno himself didn't radiate with this much threatening presence. “I suppose we'll see just how dangerous you really are, won't we?”
Then your vision changes, you seeing yourself in third person for a moment. Only to see the short man's hand protruding through your throat, THROUGH your Energy Body. And as soon as you see the vision it ends, you blinking once. As your eyes open back up, the tiny old man's closed the distance, hand thrusting for your throat. And now, knowing full well that your shielding energy won't stop the attack, instead thrust your right hand in a palm strike at his entire body. The elderly man spins around your hand, closing the distance and thrusting his right hand at your throat. With only an instant to react you raise your left arm defensively, gritting your teeth in pain as his hand cuts clean through your energy, STABBING into your forearm! His hand punches clean through your limb, but slows him enough so that his hand doesn't reach your throat.
“Ohh? Not bad.” the elderly assassin says, kicking off your forearm and flipping backwards, landing on the ground back on his feet and looking as if nothing happened. Except for his right hand, now dripping your blood onto the ground.
What now?
