1065 Interfere 5 (2/2)

By now, Dyon's chest was completely bare, revealing a chiseled and tanned form. To everyone around, he looked like a true weapon's smith. Such a toned body had to have spent hours before a furnace, refining weapon after weapon. Although it was directly tied to his body's strength, it definitely explained his finesse. After all, weapon's smithing wasn't about power, it was about precision, and as anyone knowledgeable in training the body will tell you, controlled movements are just as good at building muscle as explosive movements were.

Dyon's body brimmed with life as he walked toward Aki who had lost all of his supporting cast. Cullen, Amory and Chanzui had been blasted into the distance, out of view. Whether they actually came back or not after this was a tossup, if they were smart, they wouldn't. Masako was dead, and it would likely be months before Gin next woke up.

Now, there was only Dyon and severely fatigued Aki. After sealing space with his void will for so long, he was greatly mentally drained. That drain became even worse after Dyon forcibly broke through his block, causing him to suffer a slight backlash.

Dyon's hand flashed as a red plaque appeared in his hand. With a single movement, he crushed it before sending the array flying toward Aki. Before he could even react, it was already upon him, locking him within a defensive array far more powerful than any Dyon had used before. This one was meant to contain a celestial for up to ten minutes, meaning Aki would need hours to escape.

After Dyon did this, he leisurely walked to Masako's body and took it into his spatial ring before doing the same with Gin's.

”YOU! What are you doing?!” Aki raged, slamming his fists against the array, but at this point, he could hardly build up any strength.

”I met your little sister on the way here.” Dyon suddenly said.

Aki froze. He immediately knew what this meant. All that planning he had done, all the clever traps he had placed, all of them were ignored by Dyon. He had never taken him seriously from the beginning!

”She seemed to think that her brother deserved to marry any woman he wanted, what do you think about that?”

Aki grit his teeth. ”Let me out!”

”Are you sure you want that?” Dyon asked. ”I'm sure you have a protective treasure right now, which is why you haven't succumbed to your fatigue and these illusions. But, since you wanted to take my stuff, shouldn't I take yours?

”What do you say? Do you want to find out how long you can last in the core valley while being so mentally drained?”
