'Well…I am actually invincible in this duel.' Ainen grinned.

Ainen blinked away from one position to another at the speech of Mach 20.5 (7000 mps), easily dodging everything and rendering all attacks of Tathan useless against him.

'As expected of Blazing Wind Rider.' Lord Black chuckled. 'Although currently the cost is 85 Mana per second, you are recovering that constantly with your new Mana Gourds.

[Blazing Wind Rider]

Attributes: Mystic (Veil), Fire, Wind.

Rank: SS

Proficiency: 100%.

Arcane Path: Wind That Burns Without a Voice.

Effect:

—> Ainen's presence dissolves into heated air currents, creating a constant vacuum with the veil, while leaving behind faint sparks of a different part of his silhouette that becomes proof of a rider who travels unseen and unheard.

Ainen had managed to unveil the Mystic Attribute of Flight skill he acquired, making it his and being able to use it.

That was the main reason he could make this skill reach SS-rank and attain this level of lethal movement-type skill.

There was no way for anyone to target him while he moved.

The flames that sparked different parts of his body in shape he left behind as he moved served not just as a cool special effect, but also to confuse the attacks coming at him and prevent enemies from sensing his presence fully.

He was just moving around, and Tathan was unable to hit him. He couldn't come even remotely close to hitting him.

First, Ainen's speed was now almost twice as fast as Tathan's in every way.

Within Veil, Ainen felt no resistance. He could instantly change his direction while keeping his speed constant.

The power of this 'Veil' Mystic Attribute was tremendous.

'All Mystic Attributes can boost a skill significantly if applied in a suitable way. You have truly reached the pinnacle of speed in the Adept rank. At least, I haven't seen anyone moving as fast as you in Adept-rank.'

'Well then, let's check our attack now.'

Tathan was shooting wide nets of seeds that bloomed in chaotic poison, and whiplashed vines towards him, but nothing could touch Ainen.

The stark difference between the speed of all projectiles and Ainen was now massive.

A layered stream of sparks that, if one saw by stacking together, would reveal Ainen's complete silhouette as he moved.

But he left behind 700 parts per second.

The battlefield was filled with Ainen's figure scattered in different parts. Tathan was attacking everything, but Ainen was off his radar despite moving around him.

And then, Ainen made his first offense.

Ainen aimed his Index finger as a sleek glove manifested over his right hand.

The process is shortened into a skill execution: he condenses a stream of molten sand and compressed wind into a razor-shaped projectile so fine that it looks like a transparent fang wrapped in faint golden-red haze. The entire structure is then superheated beyond visible threshold — a silent, invisible bullet of annihilation.

The Veil Attribute suppresses all air friction, pressure waves, and light emission, rendering the projectile inaudible and unseen…until it meets its target.

So when released, Solar Zephyr Fang accelerates instantly to a point where it skips through spatial layers, erasing the air path behind it, creating an afterimage of bending light that resembles a fanged smile.

Solar Zephy Fang!

'One-shot or I'll kill myself.'

A faint crescent flash rippled in the air, a warped shimmer like heat haze sliced open. The next moment, Tathan's form bent, cracked, and collapsed inward, glowing red from within before vaporizing…entirely.

No trace of Tathan was left.

'Whooh, the space really imploded! I knew it would also work here!'

Lord Black's mind blanked out. 'The Veil allowed your skill to interact with space without having Space Manipulation. Yeah, this Mystic Attribute has aspects of Space, it's confirmed. Vacuum is still possible to create with Wind and Fire interaction, so I thought Veil only created layers, but it directly interacts with space.'

'Crazy, no wonder this skill got an SS+ rank. You monster.' Lord Black sighed.

[Solar Zephyr Fang]

Attributes: Fire, Wind, Sand, Mystic (Veil)

Rank: SS+

Type: Single-Target, Hypervelocity Strike

Proficiency: 100%

Arcane Path: Where the Silent Flame Cuts, the World Forgets Its Shape.

Effect:

— The glove compresses molten sand, searing flame, and cutting wind into a transparent fang of heat, then launches it under the Veil—soundless and unseen. It moves faster than sound by thirty times, unseen and drifting through space via the Veil, erasing the air behind it. On impact, the target implodes from within, their form crushed and vaporized by a burst of liquefied heat and grinding sand, leaving only warped silence where anything that stood there before.

Ainen used his knowledge of Tyrant Mage's Arm to create this skill in tandem with his other attributes.

He wanted to unveil the Mystic attribute of Tyrant Mage's Arm, but Ainen didn't have any more time in the Limitless Dimension for that, as he had spent time doing other things.

So this was the only skill that used the structure of Tyrant Mage's Arm because Ainen had to build a glove having a mechanism that could create the structure of this bullet.

Tyrant Mage's Arm's Mystic Attribute was also powerful because it could interact with other attributes easily and transform.

[You have defeated Dueling Lord Tathan within 0:59 seconds. Congratulations.]

'Yeah, my next main objective while clearing this Labyrinth is acquiring the Mystic Attribute of Tyrant Mage's Arm, and actualize a Mystic Attribute for my Spell Kitchen skill.'

…

"What?" Prisha looked in the direction where a giant pillar of light appeared, within which Ainen was moving up. 'Down and then up?'

'Wait, that's not the concern.' Prisha smacked her head with her fist lightly. 'He actually defeated Tathan before me.'

'What the hell…'

Prisha took a deep breath.

'Since I lost, I might as well take my time. If I can't defeat him, this mission will fail anyway.'

Prisha was currently in a deadly forest of poisons.

To her, this was a fortune she could give everything up for.

This random opportunity in Labyrinth turned out to be a great one.

This final island had a wide variety of biomes, which naturally included poisons.

'Once I break through to SS-rank in Poison Manipulation, I want to see how he survives facing me.'
