Chapter 360: Chapter 278 Thanks for the Praise_2

Sheraya had thought the other was circling to his back again, so he stayed alert behind him while also looking at the mirror surface, but... there was no trace of them in the mirror! Nor above, in front, or to either side! It was as if they had truly vanished.

"What’s going on... Uh ah!?"

Before Sheraya could react, a severe pain shot through the sole of his foot!

Glancing down, he witnessed an incredible scene!

A blade had pierced through his foot, and the hand holding the blade had actually extended from the ground below!

The ground wasn’t shattered, yet the arm was still protruding; the juncture between the ground and hand was unnaturally abnormal, as if the hand had passed through an illusion. However, Sheraya was indeed standing firmly upon it, what on earth was going on?

In the next instant, the arm disappeared, and then the young man appeared nearby, mumbling under his breath.

"Good thing I reacted on time, or my hand would have been ruined."

"..." Sheraya still couldn’t figure out what was happening, but one thing was clear.

With his foot injured, his movements were bound to be limited. Facing the opponent’s strange ability to move in an instant, he was now akin to a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Moreover, there was no time for healing, as the other had charged at him once again! He didn’t have the luxury to use his ability to heal!

But even if he wanted to counterattack, could he defend himself? Against such an unusual sneak attack, how could he protect himself? Escape into the air?

Not to mention that he was still in the dark about the full details of the opponent’s ability, and moreover, Sheraya was already at the very limit of distance where he could act alone. If he were to take off from the ground now, he would certainly be pulled back by the rules!

"Huff..." At this moment, Sheraya instinctively had the thought of giving up resistance, then casually threw a stone as a token counterattack.

However, what happened next was beyond his expectation.

"Arrghhh... muh!"

The young man who had rushed over didn’t vanish again but was... struck in the stomach by the stone thrown by Sheraya, and then he clutched his belly, showing an expression of pain.

"...Eh?" Sheraya blinked in surprise, but then he suddenly realized, "Could it be... the activation mechanism of that ability depends on inflicting harm or intentions of resistance?"

When he had given up, the attack had an effect. Considering what had happened before, it seemed that was the only explanation.

"If that’s the case, then things just got easier!"

Sheraya regained his confidence and called upon his ability once more, only this time, he closed his eyes, without any intention to attack the young man. Instead, he summoned countless stones around him, which rapidly circled, creating a wide-ranging attack!

He was just mindlessly flinging stones, not intending to confront anyone. Of course, it would be ideal if the young man was unlucky enough to get hit.

"Wha... damn it!"

Sure enough, the young man was struck several times, resulting in several dark bruises.

He also hurriedly moved out of the ten-meter range around Sheraya and didn’t dare to approach again.

"Caught on, did you? This just got really tricky, huh... haha."

The young man started laughing, his face showing not the slightest frustration, but instead a stronger fighting spirit.

He shouted to Sheraya, "Mr. Sheraya, you’re worthy of recognition for seeing through it. But as long as I don’t enter your ten-meter range, you can’t attack me. This isn’t really a solution. At this rate, the fight will just drag on without determining a victor."

"No problem," Sheraya said, "Staying at a standoff isn’t so bad, I still have energy left. And as for a solution... why not just move towards you?"

Without a better plan, Sheraya could only do so.

He did not intend to attack; he merely moved closer by listening—after years of studying Heart Technique, he was quite capable of controlling his thoughts.

But just then, the young man gave a slight smile and suddenly said,

"If you chase me, can’t I just run away? But... I don’t want to keep this deadlock, it’s too boring. Oh, your teammates should be not too far away, right? Instead of wasting time here, why not go and meet them now?"

"..."

Hearing these words, Sheraya glared fiercely at the youth, and then he saw the smile on the youth’s face.

"... Fell for it."

The next instant, the youth’s figure disappeared again!

At the same time, Sheraya felt a severe pain in his lower back!

"...!" Sheraya’s eyes widened in shock as he turned to look at the youth behind him.

The youth looked at him with a smile and said softly,

"I’m sorry, it seems you’ve lost."

The youth pulled the knife from Sheraya’s body, then kicked him to the ground; he wiped the blood off the blade with his sleeve before raising the knife again...

This time, he intended to end Sheraya’s life for good!

"..." Sheraya watched the youth getting closer, his mind racing!

Was there... a way to break out?

Following that thought, Sheraya suddenly had an idea.

"...!" Immediately, Sheraya rose to his feet and lunged at the youth frantically!

"..." The youth, thinking Sheraya had given up, vanished with a gloomy expression.

However, upon seeing the youth disappear, Sheraya also stopped in his tracks and closed his eyes.

In the next moment, the space around Sheraya filled with eyes!

Not only that, but the ground under his feet and the space within ten meters were also crowded with eyes!

"The All-Seeing Eye observes everything around oneself, leaving just one gap, and then..."

Before he even finished speaking, Sheraya reached out and grabbed frantically in front of him!

Then the youth appeared right in front of Sheraya, caught firmly by the neck!

"Cough...!" The youth’s face contorted in pain, but more than that, he showed disbelief, "You... saw through my ability?"

"Mm... I’ve finally understood," Sheraya said slowly, "Your power is not fast movement, otherwise, as soon as you’d come near me, you’d be hit by my rocks. Ruling that out, the only power I could think of for you... is quantization, or more precisely, the observer effect.

Once I start observing you, your presence gets pushed aside by my observations. Naturally, no matter how I looked, you were always out of my line of sight. And the attacks from the ground were also explained; it’s not the ground that becomes illusory, but you."

"Hmph..." the youth, enduring the pain, laughed, "So, you filled the whole space with eyes just to confine my location, heh... It’s just like the literal meaning, I’ve been seen through."

"... It’s you who has lost," Sheraya said, releasing his grip, "We had a deal, fair is fair, hand over the Core, and you can leave."

The youth collapsed to the ground, coughing a few times, then said,

"Alright, I accept my loss... But, in light of such an exhilarating fight, these two Cores, I’ll give them to you."

The youth handed over the two Cores to Sheraya after finishing his words.

"What...!" Sheraya was also surprised.

The youth stood up, dusting himself off, and said with a smile, "No use for a dying man, I am satisfied now, so I won’t disturb you any longer, goodbye... And also, you really are formidable."

After that, the youth didn’t say anything more and left the scene.

"..." Sheraya did not stop him; he just looked at the two Cores in his hand, slightly lost in thought.

"Formidable, huh? Hmph... Thanks for the compliment."
