Sasuke didn’t expect the man to take action later than he did.
It was just that Sasuke was fast.
When people are about to move, their muscles will tense slightly in preparation for the movement. Sasuke’s eyes never overlooked that “source” of imminent movement. That was why it was possible for him to move before his opponent did.
Thunder’s blade cut through the dark.
My attack was too shallow!
The giant’s horn spiralled in mid-air.
However, it wasn’t a fatal wound. The giant stumbled backwards, then pulled out a broadaxe for a counterattack.
They have the position of advantage here.
While showing that he could leap back to avoid the blow, Sasuke leapt up. The battleaxe skimmed underneath him, cutting a huge rift through the floor.
It was terrifying strength.
It couldn’t be thought of as simple muscle power. It had to be that the giant was strengthening his muscles with some kind of jutsu.
Physical combat is a bad idea.
