Whoosh—
After a piercing rush of air, Monchi abruptly spun around.
Orucia, who had been several hundred meters away just moments ago, had suddenly appeared behind him. Its porcelain-white hands, shaped like mantis scythes, lightly slashed at the space where Monchi stood.
A hissing sound reached everyone's ears. Looking closely, they saw that Orucia had actually torn open the void with its bare hands!
The instant Monchi spotted Orucia, he had already transformed into a gust of illusory frost wind. Accompanied by starlike frost that flashed with flowing radiance, he evaded to the other side.
Having missed with one strike, Orucia showed no disappointment. Its dark green eyes shifted, and it caught sight of Monchi once more.
The next second, while Monchi was still dazed, Orucia had already appeared at his side.
Previously, the others had at least been able to catch Orucia's afterimage. But after it transformed into its porcelain-white true form, they could not even see an afterimage.
It was like genuine spatial teleportation!
Time and again, Monchi barely managed to escape Orucia's killing strikes in an utterly bedraggled state.

Void Ore was not particularly expensive; it was a mid-grade material Angel had used before, as it was the main material for refining Domain Glass, which could sever layered spaces. Illusory Spirit Diamond, however, was no ordinary material. It was a high-grade special material, said to be a strange substance synthesized by legendary wizards
