Ishihara's eyes glowed as his domain flickered one final time.
Above him, Lucky Reward Cards appeared — the rare phenomenon that only manifested when a user pulled good cards back-to-back.
The card turned.
Infinite Speed — Allows the user to move at infinite speed for one minute. Makes the user the fastest hunter alive.
Narration:
Aside from Novaerion Karen, of course.
The expansion shattered.
Ishihara stood there, eyes shining, a grin creeping across his face as he looked straight at Neraxis.
"Shall we begin?"
Neraxis clenched his fists, gaze sharp.
He pulled four cards…
I need to identify every buff he gained.
In the next instant—
Ishihara vanished.
With near-infinite speed, he bypassed Neraxis's vision entirely, reappearing as his hand slammed onto Neraxis's face.
He's fast.
THUD!
Concrete exploded as Ishihara smashed Neraxis through a building. Debris burst outward like shrapnel.
Neraxis burst from the rubble instantly, already healing.
He casually grabbed a box of popcorn from the ruined structure, tossing a handful into his mouth.
"So," he muttered, chewing, "the first card was speed."
Ishihara reappeared.
He grabbed Neraxis's face again and dragged him across the streets at near-infinite speed, asphalt tearing apart beneath them, before hurling him into another building.
Midair, Neraxis calmly ate another piece of popcorn.
CRASH!
Dust and rubble rained down.
The smoke cleared.
Neraxis stood completely unharmed.
Ishihara clicked his tongue, irritation flashing across his face.
"Tch… what are you made of?"
Neraxis grinned.
"Obvious."
Ishihara lunged again—
But Neraxis lightly slammed his foot into the ground.
I can see his VF flow, Neraxis thought.
It's absurd… but it's extending outward. Where that extended VF ends—
that's the impact point. And that's his direction.
Seconds before Ishihara closed in, Neraxis pivoted.
THUD!
Ishihara crashed into the building instead.
Mirror shards erupted from his chest, shattering, slicing, exploding outward. Pain burned through his body.
Ishihara gritted his teeth.
