“What are you doing?!”
The sight of the Golden Ring that had covered the sky drifting further away and the disappearance of the dimensional pressure that had been weighing down on the planet made it clear: humanity’s ascension had been stopped.
That one fact made Ludwig show anger for the first time, making him swing his sword at Lea in desperate fury.
Clang!
But before the attack could land, a crimson spear smacked it aside while two icy daggers pierced through the air to knock away the intangible sword strike. Seeing the two who had stepped in front of him to block his attack—Sung-Ha and Amir—Ludwig frowned.
Did they wake up when the Ascension Project was halted?
If that was the case, then it was more than likely that Se-Hoon’s other companions in Babel had awakened as well.
And just as he expected, the moment that thought crossed his mind, transparent mirrors appeared on either side of him. From within them, the two golden-haired siblings swung their star-filled swords in perfect unison.
Slash!
Aria’s Dawnlight split apart the infinite space surrounding Ludwig at the dimensional level itself, while Jake slipped through the gap and thrust forth Primal Unity.
Slow yet fast, Jake’s sword pierced through the crack between intervals. At such a distance, even Ludwig had to acknowledge that he could not block the power of Premotion. Switching gears, Ludwig twisted space instead.
Thud!
“Urgh…!”
The sword that should have pierced his heart instead stabbed into his shoulder, making the chance for Sung-Ha and Amir to lunge in and strike at Ludwig. On top of that, Aria’s Dawnlight had flashed gold once more and was about to slash through Ludwig—
Splurt!
The tip of Ludwig’s sword had stabbed forward into empty air before anything could land. Yet, despite piercing through nothing at all, all four of the attackers had simultaneously been pierced in the shoulder. And when they recoiled, the follow-up dimensional slash split into thousands of branches to blanket the space before them.
Crack-
From the one-dimensional slash it started out as, an entire plane was now crashing down on them.
Combat, at its core, was a battle where it was determined by who seized control of the opponent’s space first. So, how could one even defeat a Perfect One who had total rulership over space? You couldn’t, at least with conventional means.
The four attackers were aware of that too, but strangely, they were simply watching the black plane rushing toward them with calm eyes.
Crackle!
A strike of golden lightning crashed down, shattering the wall of slashes with ease before continuing on to strike Ludwig head-on.
“Ugh!”
Lightning ran wild through his body, trying to tear him apart. Against that force, even Ludwig could not keep control over the Void and Whitespace to stop them from crashing into each other. Enduring the agony, especially with his powers being twisted out of alignment,...
