Chapter 227: System Operation (Part 2)
But Shirone didn’t stop teleporting.
No matter how precise Dante’s defense was, it couldn’t overcome the inherent delay between stimulus and response.
’Now!’
The instant Shirone leaned forward in his photonized state, Dante transformed into light and retreated.
A superhuman reflex—but this time, it backfired. Shirone withdrew his feint and pulled back.
’Shit!’
By the time Dante realized Shirone’s strategy, he was already mid-teleportation, flying backward.
With 20 meters suddenly between them, Shirone immediately fired a Photon Cannon.
Against the encroaching net of photons, even Dante’s movements were useless. His only escape was downward. Landing on the ground, he deployed a defensive magic circle above his head.
Shirone gritted his teeth and cast spell after spell.
Immortal Function expanded a mage’s mind infinitely, but reality was harsh. Fully unlocking the infinite would dissolve the self entirely.
Thus, Unlockers like Shirone drew power from the Spirit Zone—a barrier between reality and the infinite.
