A split-second decision

Vincent grit his teeth. He felt angry for being useless to protect others. All the new power at the tip of his fingers wasn't enough to at least block the arrow. 

Deep anger welled within Vincent. He turned his gaze on the three soldiers running at him with swords swinging at him. He summoned a couple of rags and cloths in the air.

The soldier's attention was captured after a lot of bright green fabrics materialized in the air. That was the moment when Vincent disappeared from their sight. A second later, the three soldiers heard a loud warning, "Move! The monster is behind you!"

However, the three soldiers were too late. Vincent stopped behind them and grabbed the farthest left and right soldiers' heads. Then he viciously slammed their heads with the one in the middle.

As the three soldiers fell on the ground, Vincent turned around from Kazumi's warning and caught a fireball with his gauntlet-protected hands.
