Chapter 682: Space vs Space (II)
The name of the Voroe Half-Step Legend radiating the Law of Space was Shitaru, and his presence on the Korokor Mountain battlefield was no coincidence. Out of all the ongoing clashes between the Golden Sky Fortress and the Void Heart Stronghold, he had been assigned specifically here for one reason.
A predatory light burned in Shitaru’s eyes as he faced the Depravita of Wrath. His entire aura radiated cold, unyielding purpose, as though he had been forged in a crucible of violence for this singular task.
Vlad, sensing the lethal intent rolling off his foe, let out a low exhale. "So they want me dead that badly," he murmured, a rueful smile curving his lips.
It was obvious that Shitaru’s sole mission was to intercept his onslaught and end him. Yet that knowledge didn’t rattle Vlad; if anything, it sharpened his focus. With a soft snort, he released the last lingering distractions from his mind, letting his wrathful energy flare around him.
He quickly assessed Shitaru’s capabilities.
"His body strength significantly surpasses my own and he wields the Expansion and Compression Domain to an extremely high degree, drastically increasing his weapon’s density and force." Vlad’s eyes glowed with calmness as he perceived that but soon they narrowed with insights and wisdom. " Fortunately he seemed less adept at short-range teleportation, leaving me a window of perception to react."
At the same time, Shitaru studied the Depravita. In the space of a breath, both came to the same conclusion: they had to strike immediately and strike hard.
Energy erupted around them like a thunderclap. Neither bothered with dialogue or taunts. They simply lunged forward, each moving faster than the untrained eye could follow.
The air cracked under the force of their momentum; stones and debris rattled across the ground as they closed the distance in the span of a heartbeat.
