At Anthony's words, the Vampire stared at him with nothing but burning hatred, but would he give in so easily? He tried to stand, but he realized his ankles weren't responding. He didn't know what had happened, but it didn't matter anymore.
He simply floated, then shot into the sky as he vanished once more. Anthony's mental calculations had already predicted this exact moment just a second ago, yet Anthony didn't react. He knew the Vampire wouldn't surrender so easily after merely exchanging blows for a few short minutes.
Reality flipped under his perception as Authority of Severance activated. Threads bloomed into his vision, space unraveled. Anthony instantly severed the distance between them. But this time, he didn't appear before the Vampire. No, rather, the Vampire reappeared before Anthony, at the exact same spot he had just fled from.
