"I never thought I would see you here, Cosmic Advisor Valot," Ezra said.
"Seems like you're having trouble with the Ninth Creation, aren't you?" Valot the Advisor said.
"I can handle it. He's just distracted by his fight," Ezra TGA replied.
"I have a solution for you. Why don't you do this?" Valot said while whispering the words to Ezra TGA.
Scene Shift to Duke Austin and Paul's Fight
Paul staggered. "What are you doing, Ezra?" he said.
Mind Link
Ezra: "Sorry, my king. I will have to split your energy. The Primal Thrones' clash is more important than Duke Austin."
Paul: "And how many percent are you taking? I just refilled myself not long ago."
Ezra: "Eighty percent, my king. Use the remaining twenty percent to fight Duke Austin."
Paul: "So you're transferring half my powers to my clone at the castle?"
Ezra: "Yes. That one will be able to solve the issue, I hope. Besides, your cousins are involved in this mess."
Paul: "What do you mean you hope? I would have loved to help, but Duke Austin wouldn't let me fly that fast."
Ezra: "I know you can't beat him. Then use that."
Paul: "Numerous Field? Are you saying I should force him to use hand to hand combat?"
Ezra: "Cast the spell now."
Paul stared at Duke Austin and said,
Grace Manipulation {Numerous Field}
"So you cast a Field inside the Inclusion Barrier, forcing me to use hand-to-hand combat. Well, that's fine. Anything you throw at me, I always have a counter," Duke Austin said. "But remember, Numerous Field has a time limit."
Paul replied, "I would have finished you by then."
Austin stepped forward inside the Inclusion Field, his eyes calm.
Paul steadied his breathing.
The distance between them vanished.
Austin struck first.
A straight punch aimed at Paul's throat.
Paul raised his arm, deflecting the strike sideways while stepping into Austin's guard.
Grace Manipulation { Universal Control }
Paul's palm shot toward Austin's chest.
Austin twisted his body, letting the strike slide past his ribs before answering with a short elbow toward Paul's jaw.
Paul leaned backward.
The elbow missed by inches.
Austin followed instantly with a knee strike.
Paul caught the knee with his forearm and pushed it away.
Austin used the momentum to spin.
His heel cut through the air toward Paul's head.
Paul blocked with both arms.
The impact forced him two steps back.
Austin advanced again.
Three rapid punches.
First toward Paul's face.
Second toward his ribs.
Third toward his heart.
Paul blocked the first.
Redirected the second.
The third landed partially.
Paul's body slid across the ground.
He wiped blood from the corner of his mouth.
Then rushed forward again.
Grace Manipulation { Space Lightning}
Paul's speed suddenly increased.
He appeared directly in front of Austin.
A heavy punch aimed at Austin's stomach.
Austin caught Paul's wrist.
His other fist drove forward.
A brutal body blow.
Paul's muscles tightened as he absorbed the strike.
He twisted his arm free and countered with a palm strike to Austin's chin.
Austin's head moved slightly from the impact.
But he didn't step back.
Instead, Austin grabbed Paul's shoulder and drove his knee into Paul's ribs.
Paul's breath escaped violently.
Austin continued.
A punch.
Another.
Then a crushing uppercut.
Paul crossed his arms to block, but the force launched him backward.
Paul landed on one knee.
Austin walked forward slowly.
"Your Grace Manipulation is impressive," he said calmly.
Paul stood again.
"I'm not done."
He dashed forward one more time.
Grace Manipulation — Universal Control
Paul's fist shot toward Austin's face.
Austin leaned slightly to the side.
Then countered instantly.
Elemental Release — Austin Thrust Cannon
Energy surged through Austin's arm as his punch struck Paul's guard.
The force shattered Paul's defense.
Paul's body was thrown backward across the battlefield.
He skidded to a stop several meters away.
Paul tried to stand.
His legs trembled.
Austin watched silently.
Paul clenched his teeth.
"This isn't a fight I can win right now…"
He raised his hand.
Grace Manipulation — Cancel Inclusion Barrier
The Inclusion Barrier collapsed.
Paul's body vanished in a flash of light.
Retreat.
Austin remained standing alone.
He adjusted his glove calmly.
Then spoke quietly.
"Run while you can… stranger."
"Next time, I won't let you escape."
Mind Link
Paul: "I heard you say my cousins are in trouble."
Ezra: "Your clone has arrived at the Elyndor–Luminaria border."
Paul: "The disguise is in Darwin Goes' appearance, right?"
Ezra: "Yes. Return to the castle before Austin tracks your energy and finds you."
