Defeat and Withdrawal

Above the battlefield, two figures flickered and crossed wildly at speeds beyond the visual limits of most living creatures.

The black-robed wizard's figure was like film being snipped apart again and again—one instant he was in the east, the next he had already arrived in the west.

With every "movement," the process in between was erased by the [Fantasy] Law, leaving only the continuously manifested result: "already there."

Benjamin, meanwhile, was a pure streak of dark-gold light.

He omitted no process. His trajectory was whole and continuous.

It was only that the speed of this continuous trajectory had been pushed to the speed of light.

Thus, in everyone else's eyes, Benjamin's movements displayed an almost teleport-like visual effect as well.

Yet the faint afterimages dragged out by his light, created by the slight curvature of space, proved that his movement was "real."

The two equally uncapturable figures carried out suffocating shifts between offense and defense across hundreds of kilometers of sky above the battlefield.

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!

Every clash was a head-on collision between light-speed fists and [Fantasy] defenses!

Benjamin threw a straight punch, wrapped in dark-gold destructive energy condensed to the utmost limit, directly at the black-robed wizard's head!

The black-robed wizard silently mobilized his computing power, pushing the [Fantasy] Law to its limit as the result, "the attack was perfectly blocked," manifested instantly.

His right arm appeared to teleport across the path of the punch, and invisible Law power collided with the dark-gold Li-Fire energy!

Crack!

Benjamin's fist shattered, scattering energy fragments in every direction.

Yet almost at the exact instant it shattered, Benjamin's left fist shot through the opening exposed by the destruction of his right arm without obstruction, flying like a cannonball straight for the black-robed wizard's face!

The black-robed wizard's expression changed drastically!
