The illusory spear shot forward with incredible speed, and Fierce Breaker moved to the side to analyze the attack. Not every attack could track the enemy. Due to the high power of this attack and the enemy's low Energy storage, this attack might not be able to track the opponent.
Sadly, Fierce Breaker quickly saw the attack adjusting towards his new position. However, there was still a possibility that he could evade. After all, attacks had different levels of homing. For example, Kyle managed to avoid some attacks by dodging at the last moment and detonating parts of his body.
The spear approached Fierce Breaker, who lifted his own spear.
Just when the attack was about to hit, a part of Fierce Breaker's conjured armor detonated, giving him a short speed boost.
Yet, the attack still tracked him. He wouldn't be able to evade. Luckily, he had been prepared for this eventuality and rammed his spear to the side.
BOOOOM!
The illusory spear detonated. The earthy metal on Fierce Breaker's spear broke into pieces. The force of the attack threw Fierce Breaker to the side, but he remained mostly uninjured.
CRK!
But then, a metallic needle shot out of the explosion, targeting Fierce Breaker.
A humongous shield of earthy metal appeared between Fierce Breaker and the needle.
CRACK!
The needle broke through the shield.
BANG!
Fierce Breaker shoved his spear to the side, deflecting the needle. Due to the impact, his entire body shook. Luckily, he only received very minor injuries.
When the team saw this attack, their eyes widened.
The grey Seeker only had 25% of Fierce Breaker's Energy, and he hadn't even used all of his Energy with that attack. Yet, based on what they could sense, Fierce Breaker needed to use almost 25% of his own Energy to block the attack, which represented 100% of the enemy's entire Energy storage!
If Fierce Breaker had access to his current Laws and Momentum but had only advanced as an Advanced Crusher like the enemy...
He would have lost.
'What the actual fuck?!' Kyle thought in shock. 'Based on his Energy, this guy only used to be a Fulfilled Crusher! That means, he most likely doesn't have a Level Five Complex Law! Yet, without a Level Five Complex Law, he managed to gain an advantage over Fierce Breaker! He forced Fierce Breaker to use several times more Energy to defend himself than the attack had cost!'
Kyle glanced at the other Seekers. 'Even more, these grey Seekers are probably the weakest of the bunch! How strong are the other ones?!'
After some calculations, Kyle came to a terrifying realization. He rechecked his calculations several times since it was so difficult to believe.
'No way!' Kyle thought. 'His Imposing Law...'
'Is more advanced than mine!'
'If I just used my Imposing Law and some Gravity Metal, like this guy did, I wouldn't be able to launch such a powerful attack with this little bit of Energy. I would need to use around 50% more Energy, assuming I didn't have my Infused Center Law, but this guy obviously doesn't have an Infused Center Law!'
One attack from a random nobody, from an interchangeable grey soldier, from a former Fulfilled Crusher...
Completely broke what Kyle had expected to see in this unknown Primary World.
He had expected many things. A pseudo-beast world. An experimental world. An Imposing Law-Only World. A xenophobic world.
But now, he could see one of the reasons why this was still an unknown world.
This random grey soldier managed to gain an advantage over Fierce Breaker.
The team watched in shock, while the other Seekers watched in neutrality.
Fierce Breaker's eyes narrowed as he exploded forward.
The enemy gathered more Energy, and another illusory spear manifested.
Suddenly, small earthen cubes appeared around the soldier.
BOOOM!
The cubes detonated, throwing the Energy in the surroundings into chaos.
The illusory spear shook and vibrated with instability. Powerful attacks like this often needed precision while conjuring them. The earthen cubes had been made by Fierce Breaker to destabilize the surroundings.
Yet, after shaking a bit, the spear still manifested, but at that point, Fierce Breaker was already close to his enemy.
The spear targeted Fierce Breaker, while Fierce Breaker's own spear shot towards the enemy.
By the looks of things, both opponents would hit each other at the same time.
BANG!
The metal on the shaft of Fierce Breaker's spear detonated, and the spear flew towards the enemy. At the same time, Fierce Breaker pulled a humongous shield out of his Soul Space and hid behind it.
The enemy just looked at Fierce Breaker's shield. He didn't even pay any attention to the spear flying towards him. It was almost like he didn't care about his life.
Both spears shot forward.
Fierce Breaker's spear hit first.
BANG!
The Formation Array of the arena summoned a wall between the spear and the grey Seeker, signaling that the Seeker would have died from the attack. This was a non-lethal battle, after all.
Yet, the spear of the grey Seeker still shot towards Fierce Breaker.
The spear hit the shield.
BANG!
The shield was thrown back, but since it was made with the help of an External Level Five Complex Law, it wasn't damaged.
Then, the needle hit the shield as well, throwing it even further into the distance. Naturally, Fierce Breaker was still behind the shield.
BOOOOOM!
Fierce breaker and his shield hit the wall of the arena. The impact broke some of Fierce Breaker's bones, but he wasn't in any danger. Since he had taken out a shield instead of conjuring a new one, Fierce Breaker only lost some Biological Energy in the clash. In total, he still had about 60% of his Energy and 90% of his Biological Energy left.
After recovering, Fierce Breaker looked at his opponent, who still stood there without showing any reaction. It was like he was just a fighting machine without a mind.
Snap!
The Unique Sage snapped his finger, and the grey soldier smoothly moved back to his group, assuming his old position.
"With mortal means, you have prevailed against basic divinity," the Unique Sage spoke. "Not many men can accomplish this feat. You are spared the worst misery."
"Next battle."
While the Unique Sage talked, Kyle's team also entered a discussion.
"What is going on?!" Kyle asked the others. "Why are they so fucking strong?!"
"I don't know," Star Genesis answered. "However, one thing is certain. If the weakest amongst them already has such power, the others must be far stronger. I still held some hope earlier, but now..."
"I don't think we have any agency in this matter. If a former Fulfilled Crusher is this strong..."
Star Genesis looked at the Unique Sage.
"How strong is a former Unique or Legendary Crusher?"
Kyle also looked at the Unique Sage. He imagined Sebastian's Elemental attacking him. He tried to imagine the Elemental winning.
Yet, he could only imagine the Unique Sage killing the Elemental with two or three quick and precise attacks.
At the same time, Kyle also glanced at the other Seeker in red.
A Spirit Lord.
The reality of their situation became clear.
Resistance represented death.
This group of Seekers didn't seem like they would tolerate insubordination or resistance.
They had to play by the rules.
