Chapter 167: Forget The Time Limit.
Taking a moment to catch his breath, Dante observed the two spies. Funnily enough, they looked like the usual contrasting pair, with one being upright and strict while the other was easy going and relaxed. Of course, Dante had no intention of getting to know either of them. If the fight goes his way, it will end with neither side saying a single word to each other.
’Let’s not waste any more time...’
Bracing himself, Dante did as Volcan had told him and limited the energy consumption to avoid a full acceleration. He expected it to be a lot more complicated, but maybe because of the increase in computing power, the range of mental commands he could give increased as well.
Instead of 5 energy points, he only consumed 3 and activated Instant Acceleration, stepping straight into his opponent’s range. The spiky haired spy was startled by the sudden burst of speed, but Dante was no less surprised, even though he had arrived at almost the exact spot he was aiming for. Appearing in front of someone like that almost left him stunned, but it didn’t last more than a fraction of a second as his body continued with the motion he had already prepared, sending the first punch.
The spiky haired spy still managed to dodge despite the speed behind the attack. The reason was likely the translucent wall he set up right before Dante threw his punch. Though it shattered upon impact, it still managed to slow Dante’s fist and absorb some of the power behind it.
’That was magic, wasn’t it?’ He asked as he moved to attack the second guy.
[Indeed.] Volcan replied. [He solidified the air in front of him into that translucent screen. Likely a defensive technique.]
The second spy blocked with his arms, hinting at an enhanced durability that prevented his bones from breaking.
[Dante, behind you!]
