Sam and the opponent are staring at each other. They are not making any moves, but the tension kept getting higher and higher between them.

Kimpurushas have a decent recovery but compared to Sam's it is still far behind. After all, he is a part vampire, even if he surprised, the vampire cells in his body, wouldn't stop recovering.

The more the fight got delayed, the more beneficial it would be for Sam and the opponent seemed to have noticed that, he wanted to be a bit passive at least until the bleeding from his feet stops. But after looking the wound on Sam's face he decided otherwise.

The damage to the feet is not exactly a small one though.

So, he leaned forward and placed his arms on the floor standing on all fours like a real beast.

Sam smiled, but he didn't change his stance.

Both of them moved towards each other, the opponent still being on all fours.

As they reached within the fighting range, Sam tried to kick the guy in the face, but the opponent caught the feet and tried to dig his claws into it while putting Sam in a leglock.

But before the leg lock was even completed, Sam used that hold as leverage and his other leg which is glowing with the spiritual energy made its way towards the other party's gut.

The skin cracked on the torso of the opponent and blood slowly seeped out of it.

The impact made the other party move away, but the grip on Sam's leg made a tear appear and he started bleeding.

But he didn't care about it unlike his opponent and ran towards the target before kicking him upwards and slashing his back with the claw.

The opponent took the chance and used the impact to his advantage and rolled forward to keep a distance.

"You are far better than I thought." He muttered to himself and suddenly his energy flow started changing.

Sam could see that the energy particles around him are acting differently through the energy vision, he became vigilant and took a defensive stance without attacking.

The opponent lunged forward and threw a spinning kick towards Sam's head, which he tried to dodge, but just when the leg was about to go past Sam's face, the opponent swung his fist in the opposite direction and his foot made a contact with Sam's jaw.

Sam was stunned by the sudden movement and he wasn't able to see the cause of it as he was too focused on the leg itself.

The opponent threw a jab with the claw towards Sam's chest, which he wanted to intercept, but all of a sudden, the position of the arm seemed to have changed instantly and his interception failed which made the jab land on him.

Luckily it handed on the shoulder as he managed to dodge it a bit.

Sam frowned at this. It was his instinct to focus on the attack that was coming at him and both times the attack changed, but not because something happened to the attacking point directly rather some other change that happened somewhere affected it.

He changed his focus to the body of the opponent as a whole, this time he is going to find out what is wrong with this situation even if he has to take some hits.

And he moved forward with just those intentions and tried to block the claw all the while looking at the whole hand.

He missed the timing to intercept, but he managed to get a glimpse of what is happening.

When the claw was coming at him from the side like a hook, something happened at the elbow as soon as he tried to intercept it.

The energy particles accumulated together and created a small explosion, which propelled the motion arm a bit and made the claw gain momentum which should have been impossible from the start and make Sam miss the timing.

This is a dangerous fighting method as it will make the user damaged a bit as well.

It is hard to find out with normal methods
