Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100 Chapter 1896 Damian vs Kaiden!

Two beams of light descended from above the arena.

Damian Voss appeared on one side of the central stage with his sword resting quietly at his waist. His expression was still calm, almost too calm, as though the battle before him was not one of the most important matches left in the final competitive stage.

Yet everyone who had watched him fight already knew that Damian's calmness was more frightening than most people's rage. His sword did not need loud pressure to make others cautious. The moment he stood there, the air around the stage seemed to grow thinner and sharper.

Kaiden Voidmere appeared opposite him. Silver-gray ripples spread beneath his feet, folding and unfolding the space around him in quiet waves. He had already suffered defeats against Max, Ervin, and Revona, yet those losses had not damaged his reputation. Instead, they had revealed just how terrible his matchups had been.

Against Max, his space power had been countered by someone with deeper mastery and almost natural immunity to spatial attacks.

Against Ervin, he had forced the Abyssal Origin Descent into the Gate of the Second Depth.

Against Revona, he had almost exiled one of the strongest undefeated geniuses into the Void Beyond Return before she adapted and turned the battle around.

Now he stood before Damian Voss. It was sword against space, Sword Sovereign Heaven against the Grand Void Labyrinth.

The Divine Realm held its breath.

Kaiden looked at Damian and spoke first. "I have been waiting for this battle."

Damian replied calmly, "You can say the same for me."

Kaiden's eyes narrowed slightly. "Then this battle will depend on whether your sword can cut through my space."

Damian's hand rested on the hilt of his sword. "We will see."

Kaiden's silver-gray aura deepened. "You look confident?"

Damian looked at him quietly. "I have participated in this conference with only one goal, and that is to win this conference."

The words were simple, but the moment they fell, the atmosphere on the stage tightened.

Angelina Valerius raised her hand.

[Battle Begins.]

Kaiden moved first.

"Void Genesis Art, Empty Step."

His figure vanished without disturbing the air. In the same instant, dozens of folded spatial ripples appeared around Damian. Some hovered above him, some waited beneath his feet, some lurked behind his shoulders, and some sat beside his sword arm. They did not attack immediately. They merely opened like hidden mouths, waiting for the exact moment to release their killing force.

Damian drew his sword.

"Silent Sword Art, First Cut, Parting Wind."

A single slash swept outward. The slash looked simple, yet every ripple it touched was cut apart before it could fully unfold. Seven spatial folds broke at the same time, and the lines hiding within them vanished as though they had been severed from their source.

Kaiden appeared far to the left with one palm raised.

"Void Genesis Art, Sevenfold Severing Line."

Seven invisible spatial cuts shot toward Damian from seven different layers. Unlike an ordinary blade attack, these lines did not travel through normal distance. They arrived by folding space around Damian and appearing directly beside his body.

Damian's sword moved.

"Silent Sword Art, Returning Thread."

His blade flashed in a narrow arc. Three severing lines were cut apart, two were redirected into the ground, and one passed by his shoulder without touching him. The final line reached his chest, but Damian's sword tip struck it directly and shattered it into silver-gray fragments.

Kaiden's eyes sharpened. He had expected Damian to defend, but he had not expected him to cut the spatial lines with such accuracy from the very first exchange.

Damian looked at him calmly. "Again."

Kaiden did not answer. His hands rose, and the entire stage split into overlapping planes.

"Void Genesis Art, Thousand-Layer Spatial Cage."

The space around Damian folded again and again, forming a transparent prison without walls. Each layer shifted at a different angle, and each angle changed the direction of movement inside the cage. If Damian stepped forward, the distance would stretch. If he stepped back, the ground would fold under him. If he slashed, the sword light would be redirected into an empty plane. This technique had trapped many opponents before they could understand what had happened.

Damian lifted his sword with both hands.

"Sword God Palace, Falling Peak Sword."

The sword descended.

Boom!

A mountain-like sword force struck the Thousand-Layer Spatial Cage from within. The first dozens of layers trembled but did not break. The remaining layers turned the sword force sideways, trying to disperse it through folded planes, but Damian's eyes remained still. His sword pressed deeper.

"Falling Peak Sword, Second Descent."

Another wave of sword force fell, and then a third.

"Falling Peak Sword, Third Descent."

Crack!

The spatial cage shattered layer by layer.

Kaiden's expression grew more serious. "You are not only cutting the surface."

Damian stepped out of the collapsing cage. "The surface is meaningless."

The two vanished at the same time. Kaiden stepped through folded corridors while Damian advanced through straight sword movement. One moved by twisting space, and the other moved by cutting the shortest line through it. Their figures crossed the stage again and again, and the silver-gray spatial ripples and pale sword lights flashed so quickly that ordinary spectators could no longer follow their positions.

"Void Genesis Art, Hollow Displacement."

Kaiden's body shifted away from reality, and Damian's sword passed through his afterimage.

"Grand Void Sanctum, Reverse Corridor Palm."

A palm strike emerged from behind Damian instead of from Kaiden's visible position. Damian's eyes shifted slightly.

"Crosswind Return."

His sword turned backward without his body turning, and the blade met the palm strike behind him.

Boom!

The impact spread in a ring of folded space and broken sword light.

Kaiden appeared above Damian next.

"Void Genesis Art, Space Burial Palm."

The space around Damian sank like a tomb. Damian raised his sword upward.

"Heaven-Cutting Ascension."

A straight sword light pierced through the burial field and split the sinking space from bottom to top. Kaiden retreated through a folded path, but Damian's sword light followed the path for a short distance and cut open his sleeve. A thin line of blood appeared on Kaiden's arm.

The Grand Void Sanctum disciples grew tense.

"He wounded Senior Brother Kaiden."

"Damian's sword is following the folds."

"That should not be easy."

At the Sword God Palace, the disciples watched with burning eyes.

"Senior Brother Damian can cut space."

"No, he is cutting the path hidden inside space."

"That is even more terrifying."

Inside the Eternal Hourglass, the top geniuses grew serious.

Rakan Thorne crossed his arms and frowned. "I hate this one too. I cannot even tell where Kaiden is standing."

Orion Starfall smiled weakly. "That is the point. If you could tell, he would not be Kaiden."

Revona watched quietly, her Void Origin Eyes faintly glowing. "Damian is not trying to understand every corridor. He is cutting the route that carries Kaiden's intent."

Ervin nodded. "That is why the sword is dangerous."
