207 Heaven-defying Fate.
At first, Frial reasoned Dante must have left out Jay intentionally so that he wouldn''t have trouble keeping track of his movements ording to his own Fate Sequence whilst facing the sma Predator.
However, Frial didn''t believe that since Dante could have done the same for them and reduced their workload.
That brought him to the terrifying possibility that Dante couldn''t see Jay''s fate.
Rex and Seath were bbergasted to learn Dante''s ability. But Frial was better off since he believed Dante to be the Holy Son of Fate, an existence that appears once every hundred million years.
An ability rted to fate in the hands of a Holy Son of Fate didn''t seem out of reasoning.
But what felt out of ce for him was how Jay''s fate could not be seen.
To confirm his spection, Frial peered using his innate talent, <FORTUNA HEART>, to peer at Jay''s Fortune Path.
When the First Round ended, he took a peek at the Fortune Paths of everyone in the Earth team except for Jay.
Back then, he was so overwhelmed by the emergence of a Holy Child of Fate that he overlooked someone stronger than himself while still was at Tier-2.
Frial''s ability came into effect as a Fortune Path illuminated behind Jay that only he could see.
The Fortune Path looked no different from an erged golden staircase ascending into the sky with magnificent doorways aligned across the path, each beingrger than the preceding one.
The number of doorways on the golden staircase illumination determines the potential and the likelihood of reaching the respective Tier in the future.
The lowest result among the Earth team members was an Eight-doorway staircase Fortune Path, indicating that they all would reach Tier-8 at the bare minimum.
While Olivia had a Ten doorway staircase Fortune Path, Dante had an ever-changing one with no fixed Fortune Path.
Whereas in the case of Jay, the Fortune Path was obscured to the point he couldn''t count the golden doorways illuminated behind him.
The enormous golden staircase extended so far it appeared as if it was a bridge connecting Earth and Sky.
Watching such an unbelievable sight unfold in front of him, Frial could say with near certainty the number of doorways exceeded ten.
However, the stunning sightsted no more than a second before a silver glow shed out of nowhere and began disintegrating the entire Fortune Path into smithereens.
Frial didn''t even have time to wrap his head around the implication of such a heaven-defying Fortune Path and froze in his spot as a piercing pain stung his mind while an unknown power obliterated it.
The mind-numbing pain receded only after the Fortune Path vanished into nothingness.
The way he viewed Jay had changed once again. The mysterious veil grew even thicker as he couldn''t make heads or tails when it came to Jay.
Soon, his thoughts were interrupted by the sma Predator''s Fate Sequence, which ovepped with his position.
With no effective way of dealing with Jay and Rex, the sma Predator shifted its focus onto the other two members.
The giant monster darted towards Frial and Seath, who were closest towards it and tried to squash them with a stomp.
Neither Frial nor Seath made a move despite seeing it closing in on them at a breakneck speed.
They really wished to move away from their position, but they couldn''t do so until thest moment.
Because if they do try to dodge before the monster even initiates an attack, that would mess up the foreseen Fate Sequence.
Only when its foot was halfway fromnding on them did they dive away from that spot, evading being stomped in the nick of time.
sma Predator was taken aback by that. Initially, it was on the lookout for the Silver Energy that Jay was able to use back when he crossed several Trial Regions. Still, the Azure-coloured Energy alone gave it a headache.
It reasoned Jay and Rex were able to move at such speeds due to the Azure-coloured Energy. But seeing the other two dodge made the giant monster doubt its own capabilities.
Shaking away the scepticism, the monster went ahead and tried to finish them off one by one, starting with the weakest one among the four assants.
Seath was prepared for that beforehand since he could see the sma Predator''s Fate Sequence.
He dodged another attack of the monster by a hair''s breadth, but the following one had left him in a pinch as he couldn''t evade anymore with his stats limiting him.
The next moment, Pseudo-sma Energy-coated ws passed through Seath, and instead of a blood stter, a glitch shed across his body for just an instance and vanished without a trace.
It was Seath''s top-notch skill, <Draft Glitch> in action.
______________
<Draft Glitch>: Allows the User to glitch through the SpaceTime Continuum for a one-tenth second at the expense of a Time Draft of the User''s choosing.
______________
Seath practically bes non-existent and invulnerable to any attack for that brief moment.
Jay brought in Seath to assist only because of that skill. Without it, Seath wouldn''t have been able tost more than a second or two against the sma Predator.
Watching the weakest among the bunch remain unscathed from the series of attacks has annoyed it even more.
It attacked Seath relentlessly, waiting for him to run out of tricks. But its ws only met with empty air every time.
Meanwhile, Seath was not having it easy. He had to consecutively use <Draft Glitch> several times at the expense of Spirit Energy.
Just a few seconds of a close encounter with the giant monster had cost him around one-fourth of his entire Spirit reserve, and if that continued further, he might turn into dead meat any time soon.
As Seath was busy saving his own life, he noticed the sma Predator ignore him and suddenly turn around and shield itself with its right arm.
The next moment, something happened, something that neither he nor the other two, Frial and Rex, dared toprehend what they saw.
Jay''s fist sted the monster''s arm beneath the elbow into pieces upon impact.
His body wasn''t just enveloped by the Pseudo-Speed Energy anymore as a thickyer of ink-ck fog seemed to ovep with it.
