But against Sol's palm, the momentum completely vanished. His arm didn't even tremble. He absorbed the strike effortlessly, freezing her mid-air.
Kira's eyes widened in absolute shock. She was suspended upside down, her heel locked in his iron-like grip.
Before she could even try to twist free, Sol fluidly shifted his weight. He stepped deeply inside her guard, bringing his right arm up, and gently pressed the flat of his forearm directly against her collarbone as she dropped.
He didn't hit or push her. He just applied a tiny, microscopic fraction of his Layer 2 tectonic mass to his arm.
Kira's entire body was violently swept off its feet.
The sheer, overwhelming density of his physical strength completely bypassed her balance. She flew backward, flipping head over heels, and crashed heavily onto her back in the dirt, sending a massive plume of dust into the air.
The entire crowd around the sparring pit went completely, utterly silent.
