The opponent's behavior has turned instinctual.
His thinking has been turned off for a great extent. It is a special bloodline of his. And with his thoughts as a price, he now gained great strength.
The Ape with its grin lunged at him.
A head on charge with no tricks. It threw a punch.
*BAM*
The opponent took the punch to his head, but he wasn't sent flying. He dug his legs into the stage and threw a punch at the ape.
At that moment…
*BOOM*
A bullet hit him in the path of his arm. It is not the same kind of bullet that Sam used until now. In comparison, the energy explosion is very small and it is almost harmless. The only thing it did was divert his punch.
Combined with Ape's movement to the side, it didn't even brush past it.
The punch is a miss.
*BAM*
