Reacting on instinct, Gary activated the claw drain as he threw his hand. He could see the attack was not simple one, and he had a feeling that if it hit his skin even in a slightly trasnfromed state it would hurt and do some type of damage.
No one at Harvor’s side would be weak by any means. He knew they would all be Altered and they were part of some of the very best. More importantly, Gary wasn’t going to hold back in his strike when it was about to hit Xin. He wouldn’t let her get hurt when she was right there.
Which was why, unconditionally, he activated the new fire trait he had received, allowing him to add extra power to nearly all of his attacks.
As he swiped his claw through the air, the loud sound of wind was heard ripping through, but more importantly, everyone could see the flames engulfing the air and the intense heat radiating from them.
The attack was completely destroyed, turned into nothing, and Gary was the one who had acted.
