For the third time, the space around Desmond seemed to thicken like mercury, slowing his movements. The aura users retreated from the space warp area while the mana users unleashed an indiscriminate barrage on Desmond.
Desmond didn't expect his opponents to have an arcana user specializing in the Law of space, which led to the fight turning against him. Desmond wasn't an expert in the laws of physics, but he did know a thing or two about space and based on that little understanding, Desmond came to a rather upsetting conclusion: he didn't have the means to counter the space user.
Some attacks weakened quite a bit as they went through the spatial distortion, but Desmond still suffered much damage. To see any despair on Desmond's face, one would believe he was cornered.
With his wounded appearance, Desmond looked like a rabbit who picked a fight with a pack of foxes, looking pathetic and cornered; but the wild smile on his face said much more.
