The fractured space seemed like a shattered mirror.
This is a punch even a god would avoid, yet the Sagittarius armor must be an extremely powerful Treasure.
The armor shattered, but the Sagittarius wasn't significantly harmed.
Because most of the fractured space's damage had been absorbed by the armor.
Albert hadn't expected that this punch, already at its limit, would merely break the opponent's armor.
The space rift reminded Wen Xishu of something.
"Principal, can we shift position now? This is important."
Albert looked at the Sagittarius, briefly lost in thought, sensing an increase of distractions in his opponent's mind.
He wanted to throw another punch, but lacked full confidence that, before this punch was thrown, the opponent wouldn't find a flaw.
Wen Xishu's words led Albert to make a swift decision.
"Enter the rift!"
Albert had previously believed he could achieve space transference because he had been curious about what would happen if he entered a space rift.
He had tried it himself and indeed achieved space transference.
But the destination of the transfer was unclear.
He was certain, however, that if this happened within the Slaughter Tower, any transfer would still be within the Slaughter Tower.
After lifting the no-self restriction, Xun Hui and the others decisively entered the rift, not doubting Albert's words.
Wen Xishu was the next to enter the rift.
After entering the rift, Albert didn't follow Wen Xishu in.
He waited in place, needing to observe the Sagittarius.
The time for this Fated Duel had already passed two hundred seconds, a third of the way through.
And as Wen Xishu vanished, the Sagittarius immediately discovered...
A force was pulling on him! The distractions in his mind quickly dissipated.
"Trying to escape!"
His figure began to turn ethereal, a force of space-time was transferring him.
Seeing this, Albert was finally relieved.
"We are not running away."
This sentence went unspoken; before the Sagittarius completely disappeared, Albert also flashed into the rift.
...
...
Initially, Albert thought he lacked a geographical advantage.
But when a huge Gothic cathedral towered in front of him, he suddenly wanted to laugh.
Yes, they had completed the transfer.
The monsters nearby were obviously weaker than those not long ago in Isaac City.
There were far fewer Black Houses here, and the Red Houses were very distant.
Yet here was another cathedral.
Albert didn't really wish to have too many elements he longed for in a battle…
Because it would cause distractions.
But clearly, the cathedral element affected him as it affected the Sagittarius.
The Sagittarius, drawn by space-time's power, came again near Wen Xishu and also saw the towering Gothic structure.
To him, it was almost like a haunted wall.
Why is it another cathedral?
The distractions in his head started breeding again, but the Sagittarius had already unleashed his next arrow!
Aimed at Wen Xishu, his gaze now filled with hatred.
The purple energy waves made Wen Xishu deduce it was some kind of spiritual attack?
Silent, explosive, elemental, poisonous, deathly.
Each of the five arrows was more terrifying than the last.
And this sixth arrow seemed to be gathering immense spiritual power.
After Albert unleashed the Unity Fist, his body also showed temporary weakness.
He would find it hard to unleash another punch of equal power.
At this moment, Wen Xishu thought about facing this arrow himself.
Using the Mad Dice's power to withstand this arrow.
"Principal, the power of this arrow should be weaker than the previous ones, but it has a strong spiritual impact. I'll take this arrow. You find a chance to attack?"
This was a good proposal; if Wen Xishu, the protected "Athena," didn't need protection, Albert would naturally have a chance to attack.
But Albert shook his head:
"It's not time yet. This arrow still needs to be mine."
During the fifth arrow, Wen Xishu felt that the old principal had already exerted all his strength.
The request for a battlefield transfer was also Wen Xishu planning to help the old principal shoulder the burden.
He would block this arrow, while the old principal found an attack opportunity.
But Albert refused.
Albert was not arrogantly boastful but had observed many distractions in the eyes of the Sagittarius.
Humans able to withstand Sagittarius' arrows had greatly impacted the Sagittarius' confidence.
This impact led to distractions for the Sagittarius.
These distractions had started affecting the Sagittarius' attacking rhythm.
In Albert's view, the Sagittarius already had many flaws.
But it wasn't enough.
"If I can catch the sixth arrow, and then Wen Xishu takes the seventh arrow… fear will cause more distractions, then will be the moment of divine confrontation."
This was, of course, a gamble, because he himself was unsure about catching the sixth arrow.
But for him, no life's gamble required avoidance.
Albert raised his right arm again, as if he too was drawing a bow.
The sixth showdown between humanity's strongest and the Sagittarius began.
The Sagittarius' sixth arrow, the Arrow of Nothingness, was released.
Albert's powerful punch also came rushing again.
His combat style was still single brute force.
But this time, the mighty fist force enough to cleave the city, couldn't completely neutralize the Arrow of Nothingness.
The Sagittarius suffered minor injuries, and the armor shattered.
