The black vortex swirled incredibly fast, enveloping every single one of Rael's Laws.
And yet, despite its clear strength, it wasn't able to stop Rael's attack.
So Rael's Laws broke through the black vortex and struck Johan's palm.
His palm disintegrated in an instant.
The crowd was just as surprised as Rael.
So much so that they fell silent for a few short moments.
That was until Rael's attack abruptly stopped.
The Laws unfurled under Johan's gaze, and before long, they completely vanished.
Rael thought he had done something, sort of.
Yet every injury he had inflicted on Johan was rendered useless.
And more so, the attack, which was the most powerful attack he could even cast, was treated as child's play.
At times like these, he started seeing the gap that was between him and those at the higher Grades.
Grade 7 and 8 still seemed doable... but a true Grade 9, and most definitely a Grade 10, were very, very far out of his reach.
