To Kain's shock, Ram didn't dodge or retreat. Instead, he raised a single armored hand, meeting the attack head-on.
BOOM!
The impact sent a thunderous shockwave through the surroundings, uprooting nearby trees and scattering debris.
Yet, when the dust settled, Ram stood firm, he didn't even move back a single step, like an unyielding mountain.
Kain's eyes widened in disbelief. Ram, barely half his size, had stopped the attack with nothing more than a single hand.
The ground beneath Ram's feet cracked slightly from the force, but he stood his ground effortlessly, the faint glow from his armor intensifying, as most of the force was dispersed from his arm towards all over his body.
Kain's sneer faltered. "Impossible," he muttered, his voice filled with disbelief.
The strength he had put behind that punch was enough to flatten large boulders—and yet, this man, who was barely half his size, stopped it without budging an inch.
