Chapter 555: Second Round Starts (2/2)

Waka's hands became mirages as he slashed through all Krune's attacks while advancing nonstop. Even the gravity field had a hard time holding him back. However, Krune only sighed, seeing that.

'He was obviously injured after the battle against Sule. He can't display even 70% of his previous power.'

For Waka, it seemed like retreat would never be an option. He looked a lot like Laka and, at the same time, not. Laka also wouldn't retreat if the situation wasn't dire, but it was because he had fun fighting. Waka, on the other hand, didn't seem like he was having any fun at all.

Waka also understood that the way things were going, he wouldn't defeat Krune doesn't matter what. Krune's defense was watertight; it was simply too hard to breakthrough. His Diamond Shields were made with those Purple Flames and had Tribulation Lightning flashing all the time. His attacks would find significant interference even before hitting the shield itself.

Suddenly, Waka stopped and raised his Sword. When Krune saw that, he immediately remembered Waka's battle against Sule. This was the sword technique that Waka used to defeat Sule, who had a great defense like Krune.

Krune didn't try to stop him, though.

'I've been waiting to see it.'

Krune was very curious about that Sword Attack. He wanted very much to understand what the conceptions behind it were. This single attack had the power to disappear and reappear right in front of the enemy, not giving them the chance to dodge at all. Even Krune wouldn't be able to do so with his Purple Tribulation Lightning.

The weird thing was that there was no such thing as Space laws involved. First of all, the entire arena is riddled with Shattered Space.

In Waka's Battle against Sule, the arena was also similar to now. There should be no way for this Sword Attack to teleport directly at him, but it did.

Waka was somewhat surprised that Krune stopped attacking him. He was ready to do his best even under pressure, but Krune just stayed in the distance, waiting for his attack. Waka wasn't an idiot; everyone saw his attack in the last fight, so he knew that Krune definitely understood what was coming at him. Still, he decided to let him use it.

'He wants to understand it.'

Waka's mouth curved in a faint smile, which surprised his protector. Waka wasn't known for his happy expressions at all.

Waka's Sword Laws were supported by his Sword Heart, accumulating on his Sword without stop. His Sword began to shine with a white light when finally, Waka slashed it down.

”Dimensional Severing!”

The space in front of him didn't shatter. Instead, it looked like it Waka's attack disappeared inside a lake.

It was then that Krune felt danger. However, he was excited at the same time.

'I see!'

Suddenly, a Purple Tribulation Lightning bolt came crashing down from the skies. It was Krune's Heavens Fall! However, Krune's Heavens Fall did not hit anything. Instead, it disappeared inside the space, just like Waka's attack.

It was then they everyone around the arena heard a muffled sound of an explosion. However, there was nothing around. Even though the sound was there, the arena and the world around was still the same. In the end, the others couldn't tell whether the explosion really happened or not. Only some of the High-Level cultivators and demon beasts understood what happened.

Krune then looked at Waka, who had a surprised expression.

”It seems like you understood.”

Krune didn't deny it.

”Indeed. I have read a lot of things about the three dimensions and the fourth dimension. The three dimensions are easy to see. After all, they are right in front of you all the time. However, I didn't expect that you could send a Sword attack through the Fourth Dimension. Obviously, no one would notice this attack coming. Divine Sense, Searching Techniques, Smell, Vision, none of those would be able to detect your attack. There was only one chance, you need 'see' the Fourth Dimension too.

Krune continued.

”However, this is really hard to control. At least, I definitely can't use it the way you do. I could only barely defend myself. It is impossible for me to send an attack through the Fourth Dimension. In the end, I only made my attack fall right in front of your sword slash, but I can't control it inside the Fourth Dimension. If my defense failed, that Tribulation Lightning Bolt would become vagrant until it appeared somewhere completely different from what I planned.”

”If I'm not wrong, the reason you can control your attack is probably... your Sword Heart, right?”

Waka smiled once more before sheathing his Sword. He then turned around and began to make his way out of the arena.

”I give up.”

Waka didn't answer Krune's question, but there was no need for it in the first place. As for giving up, Waka wouldn't retreat if he still had a tiny chance of winning. But now that Krune could at least defend against the Fourth Dimension, that chance disappeared. Continuing this fight would only make things worse. He was a resolute man, but not crazy.
