It wasn't a simple afterimage. His body divided into sixteen distinct, simultaneous frames. General Chen's eyes went wide, his brain failing to process the visual anomaly.
[Projection Frame] allowed one's action to follow the rules of sixteen frames. If an evolver could only jump once in one second, then with the Projection Frame, they could do it sixteen times in the same duration. It was a multiplication of reality.
Before Chen could even blink, a hand clamped over his skull.
Boom!
Grey dragged Chen's head down, driving it into the earth. However, the ground didn't give way. Grey had flooded the soil with Nexus energy, reinforcing it into an anvil that refused to crack.
The only thing that could break was Chen.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound was a sickening, rhythmic crunch. Grey slammed him down with the speed of the frames, sixteen impacts raining down in a blur as frames flickered rapidly around Grey.
By the time the assault paused, silence returned to the crater.
