Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100 Chapter 1897 Damian Getting Pushed!
Previously on Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100...
Max stood on his pillar with focused eyes. He had defeated Kaiden with the Void Genesis Art, but Damian was approaching the battle from a completely different direction. Max's advantage had been mastery and immunity. Damian had neither.
He was not immune to spatial attacks, and he did not understand the Void Genesis Art as Kaiden did. Yet his sword path was so pure and precise that it could cut through the meaningful line behind Kaiden's movements. That made him frightening in another way entirely.
On the stage, Kaiden's aura finally changed. Silver-gray light expanded behind him, and the entire battlefield began twisting into a vast spatial maze. Corridors rose from the ground, mirrors opened in the air, and walls of folded distance appeared and vanished. Exile points flickered at the edge of sight while hidden blades of space moved between planes.
"Pseudo Cosmic Path."
Kaiden's voice rang across the arena.
"Grand Void Labyrinth."
Boom!
The stage became a labyrinth of folded space. Damian stood within it, surrounded by countless corridors and mirror routes. Every direction looked real, and every path looked false. Even the sky above him had been divided into layers, and every layer could become an attack route, an escape route, or an exile route at any moment.
Kaiden's figure appeared in a distant corridor. "Damian Voss," he said calmly, "if your sword can cut through this, then cut."
The Grand Void Labyrinth activated.
"Grand Void Labyrinth, Corridor of Ten Thousand Cuts."
Countless invisible cuts emerged from all directions. Damian's sword moved instantly.
"Sword Sovereign Heaven, First Edict, All Blades Refuse Submission."
The sword world appeared behind him. An ancient sword altar rose within a vast sword heaven, and countless sword lights answered Damian's blade. The first wave of spatial cuts was shattered before reaching him, but Kaiden's attack did not end there.
The cuts arrived from delayed corridors, hidden mirrors, and folded paths that had not existed a breath earlier. One cut grazed Damian's sleeve, another tore across his shoulder, and a third left a faint wound on his cheek.
Damian's expression did not change.
Kaiden's voice echoed again.
"Grand Void Labyrinth, Mirror Burial."
Dozens of mirrored spaces appeared around Damian, each reflecting him from a different angle. Then the mirrors collapsed inward, trying to bury him inside false spatial layers. At the same time, Kaiden used the collapsing mirrors to hide his true attack.
"Grand Void Labyrinth, Backflow Severance."
A silver-gray blade emerged from behind Damian's reflection and struck toward his back. Damian's eyes sharpened.
"Sword Sovereign Heaven, Second Edict, One Sword Divides Heaven."
One sword light swept outward. The mirrors split, the false layers split, and the Backflow Severance blade split as well. The sword light continued through the labyrinth and cut open three corridors at once, forcing Kaiden to step out from a distant fold.
Kaiden looked down at the torn edge of his robe, and then he smiled faintly. "As expected."
Damian lowered his sword slightly. "Your labyrinth is impressive."
Kaiden's eyes grew deeper. "It is not finished yet."
The Grand Void Labyrinth began to rotate.
"Grand Void Labyrinth, Infinite Corridor Rotation."
Every path around Damian changed position. The corridor behind him became the sky, and the mirror above him became the ground. The wall on his right became a blade, and the blade on his left became an exile gate. The entire labyrinth moved like a living spatial beast, constantly reshaping its own organs to confuse its prey.
Damian's sword lights began missing, and for the first time, Kaiden started gaining a visible advantage. A spatial cut struck Damian's arm. A folded palm force hit his shoulder.
An exile ripple brushed past his leg and nearly dragged him into a side corridor. Kaiden moved faster and faster within the Grand Void Labyrinth, no longer standing in one route long enough to be caught.
His attacks came from present space, delayed space, mirrored space, and reversed space. No single attack was enough to defeat Damian on its own, but together they began to pressure him heavily.
The Sword God Palace disciples grew tense.
"Senior Brother Damian is being pushed."
"Kaiden's labyrinth changes too quickly."
"Can even Sword Sovereign Heaven keep cutting if the path keeps moving?"
Damian stopped in place. A silver-gray blade shot toward his throat, and he cut it apart. Another emerged from beneath his feet, and he stepped aside and severed it. A third appeared behind him, and he cut backward without turning.
Then ten more came, and then a hundred. Damian's robe was cut in several places, and blood appeared on his arm and shoulder, yet his grip on the sword did not loosen at all.
Kaiden's figure appeared above him through a folded corridor.
"Grand Void Labyrinth, World Exile Coffin."
Six massive spatial walls appeared around Damian, closing in from above, from below, and from all four sides. Each wall contained countless folded planes leading away from the battlefield. If the coffin sealed completely, Damian would be exiled into a space where even his sword would have to cut through countless layers before returning.
Damian looked up as the walls closed.
Kaiden pressed both hands downward. "Seal."
The World Exile Coffin descended. Damian finally raised his sword vertically before him, and the Sword Sovereign Heaven behind him changed. The ancient sword altar grew brighter. The sword palace above it appeared, and the empty throne within the palace released a faint glow.
Damian's voice remained calm.
"Sword Sovereign Heaven, Third Edict."
The sword in his hand hummed.
"The sword does not follow distance."
He slashed, and a single straight line appeared within the World Exile Coffin. That line cut through the first spatial wall, then the second, and then the third. The fourth wall tried to fold the sword light away, but the sword light cut through the fold itself. The fifth wall opened an exile path, but the sword line severed the path's destination. The sixth wall compressed inward, only to be split from its center.
Crack!
The World Exile Coffin shattered. Kaiden's eyes widened slightly.
Damian stepped out with his aura sharper than before. "Your space changes many paths," Damian said. "But every path has a point where it begins."
Kaiden's face turned solemn.
Damian raised his sword. "I only need to cut that."
The pressure of Sword Sovereign Heaven rose. Kaiden realized that Damian had adapted. At the beginning, Damian had cut attacks. Then he had cut routes. Now he was starting to cut the origin points of the spatial changes themselves. If this continued, the Grand Void Labyrinth would lose its advantage entirely.
Kaiden drew a deep breath, and the entire labyrinth condensed. Every corridor, mirror, folded path, and exile point began gathering toward one final silver-gray passage. The space behind Damian darkened into a terrifying tunnel that seemed to lead beyond the battlefield, beyond the Eternal Hourglass, and beyond return.
The spectators grew silent, because they had seen this move before. It was the technique that had almost defeated Revona.
"Grand Void Labyrinth, Final Corridor."
Kaiden's hands trembled slightly as he formed the deepest route of his Pseudo Cosmic Path.
"Void Beyond Return."
The final corridor opened beneath Damian's feet, and the space around him vanished downward. Damian's body began to sink.
The Sword God Palace disciples shouted in alarm.
"Senior Brother Damian!"
The Grand Void Sanctum disciples clenched their fists.
"Seal him!"
"Void Beyond Return!"
Even the top geniuses grew focused.
