1861 Didn't Know

Lu'card was stunned by the sudden change, but his fury immediately overrode any surprise he might have felt. Well... that and the pressure that came soon afterward.

All he saw was an array of red eyes, spreading apart along blackened feathers. Flashes of fear, horror, and inescapable destruction assaulted his mind as a black falcon with eight eyes appeared before him.

But Ryu's command had already come.

Lu'card spun in the air as though he had eyes in the back of his head... because he truly did.

In a battle amongst Sovereigns, Ryu had already noticed that they were able to hide themselves from Spiritual Sense and even distort what you could see. Because the laws could be so easily broken and controlled by Sovereigns, the only way to counter them hiding from your senses was to likewise break and control the laws in the region...

Unless you had [Third Perspective].

Lu'card's wings flapped like folds of space, and his body was wrapped in a gorgeous silver light before he blinked and vanished, appearing high in the skies with a paw pulsing with black energy.

[Blackhole].

The falcon barely had time to dodge out of the way of the Dragon Claw. But when it thought it had survived, a spike of pain hit it, and it spiraled out of the air. Only now did it realize that one of its wings had been torn to pieces.

With a rush and a boom, Lu'card was suddenly pincered from all sides. A jaguar Sovereign, a peacock Sovereign, and a tortoise Sovereign appeared at once.

The tortoise Sovereign's body thrummed with might, and a powerful gravitational force descended from above, looking to crush Lu'card.

But Ryu seemed to have seen through it ahead of time. None of the abilities of these Sovereigns could escape his eyes.

Lu'card countered with [Horizon] once again, and then Ryu's gaze pulsed.

[Death Acupoint].

PCHU!

Lu'card casually swiped out a claw in a particular direction, and the forehead of the peacock was pierced through.

All this time, only the tail of the peacock could be seen, making it difficult to tell where its true body was. Even Ryu's [Third Perspective] couldn't see through it because it seemed like the peacock was in a different space entirely.

However, the moment Ryu cast [Death Acupoint] on the peacock, he saw through its death knell with a single thought. It could hide from his senses... but could it hide from Karma?

Lu'card cast [Blackhole] once more, but this time, dozens of spinning cyclones of spatial storms appeared in the skies, forming a complex array. Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com

To Lu'card's shock, the blackholes seemed to have formed an even more powerful effect than his mirror world, resulting in a maze of space that even the Sovereigns had a hard time seeing through.

The jaguar beast struck, but its attack flashed and vanished, twisting through space and suddenly appearing before the tortoise. The tortoise had been so focused on Lu'card and Ryu that it didn't even sense this coming until it was too late...

...

The entire battle felt like a fever dream for Lu'card. He had a hard time believing that what he was experiencing was real.

But the fact that there were so many correct paths was its own problem. How could he possibly ever choose the right path, then?

"Are you not going to say anything?" Lu'card's voice interrupted Ryu's thought.

Ryu smiled. "What is there to say?"

"What happened to you? Did someone snip your balls?"

Ryu's expression became weird. "I thought Dragons were supposed to be dignified. But the more I interact with you all, the more I feel you're just each more roguish than the last."

"What is your second affinity?"

Ryu's eyes narrowed when Lu'card suddenly changed the subject.

"Why are you asking?"

"Because there's something weird about your spatial qi. It feels inexplicably more flexible, and without your calculations, I wouldn't be able to control space like I did just now."

"Is that so..."

A flash of enlightenment hit Ryu.

Space and time... they were like two sides of the same coin. He had even read some posit that time was just another dimension, the fourth that gave the first three of space meaning.

The fact that time could give space a flexibility that it wouldn't otherwise have would make sense, but he hadn't thought about it before because the spatial affinity he had now had always been tied to time. So he wasn't like Lu'card who had experience with manipulating space alone.

"It's time," Ryu replied without much care.

However, he didn't expect to feel Lu'card's soul tremble fiercely when he heard this. Although his reaction on the surface seemed calm, Ryu was still too attached to him for this to be hidden.

"Are you... sure?" Lu'card asked.

Ryu raised an eyebrow. "Of course I am. What kind of stupid question is that?"

"Don't patronize me, dammit. It doesn't seem like you even understand what that means."

"What is there to understand? It's just a Soul Nature."

"It's a Soul Nature?!"

Affinity was one thing; a Soul Nature was a completely different beast entirely.

Beasts didn't have souls in the normal sense, but they still had their Spirit Roots. Spirit Roots had their own Natures as well, colloquially known as affinities, and formally known as Spirit Natures or Spirit Essences.

"Not even the ounce of dignity of a Dragon," Ryu shook his head and sighed as though he was lamenting the state of Lu'card.

Lu'card didn't respond. It seemed that Ryu truly didn't know.
