The Author's POV

BOOOM—!

I don't quite remember what happened after the world around me collapsed and an explosion sounded.

I just felt something press against my body, and at the same time, my body was thrown a great distance away from where I had been.

Everything happened so fast that I barely had time to process it.

That being said, I was in no pain. It didn't hurt, and sensing something on my right, I turned my head and swiped my finger in the air.

Crack!

A fissure formed in the space next to me, revealing a white hand behind it.

But just as it was about to open, the space twisted, and the tear moved forward several meters away.

The hand did come out, but it clenched at nothing but the air.

Touching my sword, the space right next to the hand distorted, and a sword projection appeared. It tore through the air and aimed at the exposed hand.

Unfortunately, I was just a tad bit too late, as the hand had already vanished before my sword could get to it.

Swoosh—! A subtle breeze blew past in the air, and I turned my head to look to my right. I felt something over there, but I couldn't quite tell what it was.

'Ah, I see.'

Channeling the laws within my body and waving my hand once, the space in front of me folded like a piece of paper, and a beam passed through to the two ends of the fold.

It was quite the bizarre sight, but the more familiar I became with the laws, the more I realized how endless the possibilities were…

It felt as though I could control everything.

"You're quite good at handling the laws. I've never seen him use them before, so how did you manage to pick up on them so fast?"

A gentle voice tickled my ear, and my head snapped backward.

Jezebeth's head peaked from the crack, his crimson eyes glistening with brilliant light. Almost immediately after that, I felt my body freeze, and Jezebeth stepped out into the open.

Emerging from the crack, my vision suddenly filled with more than a thousand different holographic representations of him.

'The chip is useless…'

I tried to anticipate what he would do next by analyzing his muscle movements and determining where his eyes were looking with the help of the chip in my head; however, it quickly became apparent to me that the chip was incapable of dealing with the entity in front of me.
