Chapter 182.10: First Segment. (Part-10)



At such a close distance, if Dante were to dodge those attacks, he had to move without any hesitation in the little time frame he had.

Dante did just that and narrowly evaded them by sliding to his right.

Although Seath half-expected that to happen, watching Dante outmanoeuvre both his attacks surprised him, to say the least.

But that didn\'t distract him from deploying the underlying means behind his previous attacks.

The Sword Aura Extensions were just a medium to launch his next attack. Although his Sword Mastery was lower than Kensei, he was not far from reaching Stage-4.

His Sword mastery crossed the standards of Stage-3 and was just a step away from reaching Stage-4.

For anyone at Stage-3 Mastery, using Sword Aura Extension on both Swords at once was already too much to ask for, but for someone with Seath\'s calibre, it was no big deal.

Not only that, but he could even manipulate the shape of Sword Aura to some extent.

Seath did just that, and several Aura blades protruded perpendicularly from the Sword Aura Extensions, leaving Dante with little to no room to escape.

Just as Seath believed Dante could not evade them, he halted in the tracks and twisted his body to an abnormal posture.

Strangely enough, each blade of Aura slipped past Dante, leaving Seath and the spectators dumbfounded.

While kneeling on one knee, Dante pointed the bow behind his back with his left hand and pulled its string with the other as three Aura Arrows materialised side by side within the bow\'s shooting rack.

Forming a claw gesture, Dante held onto the bottom of those arrows in the gaps of his fingers.

The arrows pointing at him jerked Seath back into regaining his composure.

As soon as he noticed one of those three arrows was being launched at him, Seath used up a <Draft Glitch> and an Aura Arrow phased through him.

Seeing Dante release two other arrows at him, Seath didn\'t stay at the same spot for the Draft Glitch\'s duration to end and used his other Time-related skill, <Draft Switch>, to avoid being hit by them.

<Draft Switch>: Allows the User to teleport to the expended Time Draft\'s location, disregarding the Existence Plane\'s confines.

Using that came at the cost of expending another \'Time Draft\' other than the one he used for the recent \'Draft Glitch\'.

Even with just two Time Drafts remaining, Seath didn\'t hesitate to use one of them to evade the incoming arrows.

With the little Health he was left with, another hit from even a single Aura Arrow would spell his loss.

As soon as he used <Draft Switch>, Seath\'s translucent figure vanished and reappeared at the opposite corner of the Stage, 220 meters away from his previous position.

Once he teleported, the Draft Glitch\'s duration, one-tenth of a second had passed, and his body was no longer translucent, and the incessant glitches were nowhere to be found.

Before Seath could heave a sigh, he caught sight of an Aura Arrow just shy of a few meters from crashing into him.

In that instant, his brain couldn\'t reason how an arrow reached him, and with little to no time he had to react, he used \'Draft Glitch\' out of instinct.

If Seath were to react even a couple of milli-seconds late, he would have been struck by the incoming arrow.

Seath churned out his brain processing power to the maximum and analysed the length of the arrow as it passed through him.

After all, by the time the Aura Arrow reached him, it expanded to 22 times its initial size due to Dante using <Arrow Gigantification> skill on the second arrow.

Despite the seemingly flawless skill, the <Draft Glitch> has its drawbacks. The primary one being his immobility while glitching through the SpaceTime Continuum.

One-hundredth of a second after using that skill, Seath would reappear back in the same spot unless he uses <Draft Switch> and teleport to the location of expended Time Draft.

The other major downside was that if something else were to occupy the space when he reappears in the same spot, that would be quite devastating for Seath.

With the 10-milli-second duration of <Draft Glitch>, the exact situation was in play as that short window of Time was not enough for the 22-meter-long arrow to phase through him while still expanding in size.

So, in order to avoid being impaled by the gigantic Aura Arrow, Seath had no choice but to use <Draft Switch> and teleport to another spot on the Stage.

He then used the last Time Draft to teleport, but as soon as Seath did that, he was greeted with another gigantic Aura Arrow, to his dismay, just a meter away from colliding with him.

With no more Spirit Energy left, creating Time Drafts was no longer viable, and he had to rely on his movement speed to evade the incoming arrow, but to no avail.

The gigantified Aura Arrow struck Seath and dealt a massive blow by slamming him into the Stage barrier with a loud bang, knocking him out cold.

Dead silence followed even after Felarial announced Dante as the winner of the 2nd Bout.

Before it began, almost everyone believed there would be no suspense in the fight since the 2nd combatant from the Earth team was a Tier-2 individual.

From the beginning to the end of the fight, Dante was the one who has the upper hand. That made everyone doubt the power difference between Tier-2 and Tier-3 was not as wide as they presumed it to be.
