Tony stood silently atop the broken academy cliff while cold wind swept across the shattered rocks around him.
The masked man had already disappeared completely.
Not even aura traces remained behind.
Tony slowly narrowed his eyes afterward while replaying the short fight inside his mind repeatedly.
"That fellow is definitely failed to capture me… but still, he got some-strength to keep up with me." he muttered softly.
Still… Tony himself wasn't dissatisfied.
Because throughout the entire exchange, neither side truly fought seriously.
Tony never used his body refinement power, Dragon fist strength, weapons, killing intent. He merely tested the practical effects of the Heavenly Mirage Steps in real combat.
And the result satisfied him greatly.
The movement technique was terrifying in actual battle.
The illusionary afterimages genuinely disrupted enemy judgment.
Most importantly…
The silent movement ability was absurdly useful.
