Capítulo 228: The Gaze

Toruf was an experienced fighter, so when he realized that Zayne actually had a chance of passing the Chaos Trial and that it wasn't suicidal for him, he gave him that opportunity.

Toruf purposely put his back to Zayne's punch, which would have easily knocked him to the ground. However, in order to do so, Zayne would have to quickly realize what he needed to do and dodge the horns moving at him.

'Shit! If I don't stop him, he'll just make two holes in me!" Zayne internally exclaimed, reaching forward with his arms and grabbing Toruf's horns.

Because of the effort he exerted Toruf's horns slowed down slightly, but it wasn't enough to stop him. Pretty soon the horns would reach their target and Zayne would lose the ability to pass the Chaos Trial, Toruf would simply return him to the Empire's territory, and that would be it.
