"Such power..."
Urgently using a Force Field to seal the wounds on his body, Marquis Vent sensed the invisible pressure surrounding him. His scarlet eyes swept across the shattered-mirror-like world around him, his gaze filled with gravity.
This was his first time facing a Ninth Rank Diviner head-on. After all, Star Gazer had previously been the only Ninth Rank Diviner on the entire continent, leaving him with no one to practice against.
