Bab 218: The real face of the lamb

BAM!

Just as I flung my arms to claw his head off, Deimos sprawled his brawny arms around my arm. He grabbed it, tossing me away with so much force. However, that wasn't enough to stop me. 

As soon as my feet landed on the ground, knees bending, I used the momentum to bolt towards him. We didn't have any weapons aside from our claws, pure strength, and agility. With a big man such as Deimos, it was amazing how he could keep up with my current speed. 

He stood in the same spot, dodging most of my attacks. Sometimes, he would block them or deflect them by slapping them with the back of his hand. He was amazing even without doing so much.

"My child, what are you trying to see?" 

Suddenly, instead of blocking the claws coming at his throat, he stood still. Before I knew it, his fingers slipped in between them, holding it to the side. I looked up and held my breath, stopping right in front of him with my hand under his grip.
