Final Fight [2]

Nox felt an invisible, suffocating force weigh down on him like a mountain, making his knees buckle. Confusion flickered across Nox's eyes as he tried to understand what was going on.

'What kind of skill is this?' he thought in horror but didn't let it show in his eyes. Each step he took felt like dragging himself through wet cement. 'Is this some sort of time-warp skill?' Nox pondered, wiping beads of sweat from his forehead.

"Something is wrong!" Rab pointed out with a horrified expression. Even the others had noticed that something was indeed wrong.

"Why is he so slow? It's as if he's struggling," Cole muttered to himself, narrowing his eyes. Though the rain beat down furiously, they could still see the fight clearly thanks to being Awakened.

Because of this, they were able to see Nox's painfully slow movements, and their eyes were immediately filled with worry.
