Carl struggled to his feet, veins bulging in rage. A low, guttural growl rumbled from his throat.
"You... will pay for that!"
Jayden stood where he was, unmoved, unbothered.
Then... Carl blinked.. and vanished.
BOOM!
He reappeared in front of Jayden in less than a heartbeat, his fist already mid-swing, flames trailing his fist like a comet's tail.
Jayden leapt back, evading the attack easily... but Carl wasn't done.
His palm shot out, a massive fireball
blasting toward Jayden's chest.
Jayden didn't leapt. He didn't run
Instead—
Time seemed to slow down as his upper body bent backward at an impossible angle, his spine arching like a drawn bow as the fireball screamed past his face, close enough to singe his hair.
The crowd erupted.
"What the hell was that?!"
"How is he able to bend and suspend his body like that?"
"Holy hell. I think he just pulled off the matrix-time effect in real life."
"That was incredible! Jayden is awesome!"
