One Hit

At once, many thoughts passed through the bewildered Vampire's mind as he stood there in a momentary daze.

How is he still conscious?

Is he one of the Magi?

Why can't I sense any mana from him?

Wait! Suddenly he thought of a terrifying possibility.

When his thoughts reached this point, his eyes narrowed and a ruthless glint flashed across them. With lightning speed, he raised his fist and delivered a straight punch to Adam.

"Chill, chill, chill!" Adam clumsily dodged the punch by a hair's breadth. He rolled backward on the ground and got to his feet. He patted his chest and muttered, "Phew, I nearly got hit!"

He dodged?! After missing Adam, the vampire's fist stopped inches above the ground, displaying his frightening control. There was no way he was going to ruin the ritual formation. He raised his head and looked at Adam with cold eyes.

"Did you lead the Magi here?"
