It was more as if he had been physically forced to stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared downward toward where his claw—the one previously hurtling toward the mage—should have been.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His entire arm had vanished from the shoulder down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was so profoundly stunned by this sight that he unknowingly released his grip on Grey's hair, allowing the mage to land gracefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man took several measured steps backward to create a safe distance between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion blinked, his mind reeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't bleeding, no!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his limb was simply gone? It was as if the appendage had been totally erased from the fabric of existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt as though he had never possessed a left arm since the day of his birth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This visual caused him to be stupefied to the core; he couldn't wrap his head around how such a feat was possible or how the mage had even executed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>… Yes! He understood it was likely a product of that strange Spatial affinity, but still; how?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rising to his full height, Grey beamed, though his previously white teeth were now dyed a gruesome red because of the blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes began shining a brilliant, blinding white again, and his hair rose above his shoulders, his entire body coated in a soft, ethereal glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Breakthrough,\" he uttered silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible,\" Fenrir muttered in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Supreme Magus was truly about to breakthrough for the second time in a single day?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No mage in recorded history could breakthrough more than once within twenty-four hours, or else they risked being bedridden for days, if not weeks, due to the sheer strain on their core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>… Well, the original mages of old could attempt this and perhaps breakthrough as many times as they desired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was supposed to be totally impossible for a mage of this current generation to do so, let alone a mere kid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So how?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A violent current of wind erupted around Grey, blowing away any loose debris or dust that dared to linger near him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skies darkened once more as heavy storm clouds materialized into view, with lightning rumbling and crackling through the dense atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion was still too dazed by the loss of his arm to even notice this new, terrifying development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring at his trembling hands, Grey exhaled a long breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Five minutes… that's all I have to end this. After taking that pill, I can utilize as many skills and techniques as I want without making a single dent in my mana pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment those five minutes elapse, I will be completely drained of energy once more.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused for a fleeting moment before adding a grim thought:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'... Perhaps two weeks of being bedridden as well.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How?! What the fuck did you do?! Reverse it! Return my arm, you bastard!\" Orion bellowed into the air with a thunderous fury that shook the very ground he stood upon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning to face his allies standing around the area, Grey tilted his head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leave. Things are about to get rough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Screeeeech—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kira could be heard screaming angrily as she rose back into the air from the spot where she had been blasted a while ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thalos remained on the ground, bleeding as he stared at the standoff with a grim, weary look on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Straining against his injuries, the gargoyle flexed his stony fingers, and his greatsword flew back into his grasp with a sharp whistle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pushing himself up, Thalos stabbed his greatsword into the cracked ground, using the hilt to pull himself to his knees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His breath was ragged and laborious, every inhale a struggle, yet he remained determined to see this conflict to its bitter end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a final, guttural grunt, he wobbled to his full height, the stone of his body grinding together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah… thank you Grey, I owe you one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smug, familiar voice drifted from behind the mage as the other onlookers continued their retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without turning around, Grey remained standing firm as a new figure came to a halt side by side with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion tilted his head, his predatory eyes narrowing in recognition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rivock?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The direct descendant beamed like a madman, his spirit unyielding despite the carnage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unlike the others, I'm not that damaged, though my Ki was entirely depleted. Thanks to your pill, I can finally join in on the fun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fleeting hint of sadness appeared on his face as he stared at the monstrous form of Orion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... Unfortunately, since I couldn't kill my father with my own hands, I can at least help take you down, Orion Stormvale.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, at the height of his breakthrough phase, Grey had opened a miniature portal at Rivock's feet, dropping a\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>pill onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing down at the offering, Rivock had recognized the catalyst almost instantly; after all, he had utilized it once before while fighting alongside the mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any hesitation, he had consumed the pill, allowing him to regain his full Ki—though only for a limited duration, much like Grey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shifting into a combat stance, a pair of shimmering Ki swords appeared in the descendant's hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smirked at Orion, seemingly unfazed by the hybrid's menacing features or the dark aura he exuded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, lightning gauntlets, boots, and a crackling crown materialized around Grey as he shifted into his own aggressive stance, Clara humming in his grip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Translucent Ki wrapped around his internal organs, reinforcing his innards and keeping them from failing him during this final exertion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing at Rivock, Kira, and Thalos, the Supreme Magus gave a silent, resolute nod in their direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thunderous bang, the four of them launched toward the hybrid with every ounce of speed they possessed, ready to take down Orion once and for all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the only chance they had left. If the time limit elapsed and they were unable to secure victory, only death awaited them in the ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a desperate race against the clock, and Grey was determined to make every second count.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'... No matter what, I will cut you down.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion stared at the group rushing toward him without flinching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His anger was rising to new, unimaginable heights following the humiliating loss of his arm. His tail whipped around wildly, lashing the air as if resonating with his fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"DIE!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He screamed into the air with a force that rattled the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty thousand obsidian Ki swords suddenly manifested in the sky, looming above the challengers with deadly intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The charging combatants briefly glanced up at the dark canopy of blades for a mere second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey's running velocity was incredible, a blur of white light even under the shadow of the looming swords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Space Severing,\" he uttered, not even deigning to look at the sky as he kept his gaze fixed solely on Orion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'...
