179 The fight continued, but...

When he turned around, he saw a huge lightning bolt forming behind him, with all those previous bolts merging. There were over fifty bolts together. He wanted time to dodge, but...

"Damn."

Dante simply wanted to stop the oncoming blow, but he couldn't. After all... "You're not getting away, failure," Ethan said, advancing and attacking Dante with all he had.

His advance came with a swift impulse, and Dante had no choice but to ignore what was coming from the sky to stop Ethan.

Their fists met as the immense energy came from the sky. Dante was trying to focus, but gradually...

"He's tired of stealing energy from the surroundings, he's stealing ours," came the voice of Alter-Dante as they exchanged heavy punches.

"What is this feeling?" Dante thought, observing what was happening. His Sixth Sense began to buzz, as if... He was the prey.

"I can't concentrate," Dante remarked, and Alter confirmed, "He's stealing your strength."
