"Ugh..."
With a pained groan, Leftover Land struggled to prop himself up amid the ruins ahead.
White powder swirled around him, yet it did nothing to help his injuries. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth; he had clearly been hurt badly.
But Leftover Land had no time to worry about that.
"How is this possible...?"
All he could do was mutter in stunned disbelief.
"How could I be injured...?"
He looked almost exactly like Frontier Wind had back in Academy City, when her divine punishment spell had failed to affect Fang Li.
Fang Li, however, merely raised his feet and walked toward Leftover Land.
"...!"
Leftover Land could not help taking a step back. Then, offended by his own reaction, his usually flippant expression twisted, his eyes filling with rage.
But Fang Li had already moved.
Bang!
Crushing the rubble beneath his feet, Fang Li shot forward like a bullet.
Leftover Land shuddered and cried out loudly.
"Priority consideration—humans below! Air above!"
As Leftover Land shouted, strange ripples began spreading through the air.
"—!"
Fang Li, who had been charging toward Leftover Land like a bullet, suddenly stopped, as though the air itself had bound him in place, leaving him unable to move.
Then Leftover Land's voice rang out again.
"Priority consideration—air below! Flour above!"
The white powder swirling around Leftover Land suddenly surged.
"Rumble...!"
The white powder transformed into massive guillotine blades. Churning the air, they seemed to break through atmospheric resistance and came hurtling over at astonishing speed with a roaring sonic boom.
But at that moment, Fang Li's body abruptly regained its freedom. With a flicker, he vanished from where he stood.
Whoosh!
Within a blurred black shadow, Fang Li appeared before Leftover Land.
The sharp dagger in his hand gleamed with a cold light.
