Lightning Mimicry

Kael's figure blurred as he moved, instantaneously appearing in front of Atticus, hands still in the same position, directly above his waist.

Looking at Kael's form in front of him, Atticus couldn't help but be a little shocked.

Kael's speed didn't change; he was still advancing towards him in slow motion, but what was shocking was the fact that looking at Kael, Atticus couldn't predict any of movement he was about to make.

There were no slightest shift in weights, no tensing of muscles before a strike, no rhythmic inhales or exhales signaling a specific technique.

It was as if what was currently heading towards him was a piece of rock! Kael was a completely blank slate.

Since he couldn't predict Kael's movement, Atticus focused on any movement he was going to make.

Even though he could predict, he was still able to observe Kael in slow motion. The only thing that would change was that Atticus would have less time to react.
