In the beginning, Karius believed he only possessed the ability to control objects.
His original profession was a magician, particularly skilled with tools like poker cards and dice.
After discovering his abilities, he felt he could handle various magic tricks with greater ease.
However, by chance, Karius discovered he had other abilities.
One day, while practicing a new trick, he infused his ability into a die and threw it.
Unexpectedly, the die exploded upon hitting the wall, nearly leveling Karius's home and almost costing him his life.
This discovery, however, delighted Karius, so he changed careers, no longer a magician but a well-known demon hunter.
Later, by chance, he was recruited by Lancelot and Aurora and joined the Ice Knights.
Here, he learned many things, especially from Lancelot, who generously taught him many combat techniques.
To Karius, Lancelot was both a friend and a teacher.
Seeing Lancelot defeated by Ling Tian, Karius felt a pang of discomfort, so he directly chose to engage Ling Tian in battle.
Seeing all his moves countered, Karius felt his pride wounded. He then took out more poker cards, but this time it was different, as he held an entire box of over fifty cards.
Karius spread the poker cards flat on his left palm, then swung his right hand forcefully, striking the cards.
"Swish, swish..."
A terrifying sound filled the air, like countless dental drills whirring simultaneously.
The poker cards flew everywhere, then swirled and smashed towards Ling Tian.
Ling Tian brandished his long sword, his body dancing gracefully as streaks of sword light flashed around him, shredding the incoming poker cards one by one.
However, this time the situation was different. When Ling Tian's sword touched the poker cards, they exploded.
Although the power of these explosions was far less than that of the dice, the exploding poker cards ignited, and the resulting smoke and dust spread everywhere, obscuring Ling Tian's vision.
Suddenly, Ling Tian felt a sense of alarm, a premonition of extreme danger. Ling Tian abruptly lowered his head, turned, and extended his left hand.
The next moment, at the back of Ling Tian's head, precisely where he had been standing, a golden poker card materialized out of thin air. If Ling Tian hadn't reacted, this poker card would have sliced into the back of his head!
Ling Tian extended two fingers of his left hand and pinched the poker card. At that moment, Karius's pupils contracted sharply. He never expected his trump card to be foiled by Ling Tian!
Indeed, this was Karius's killing move, and also his other ability. This guy actually possessed spatial abilities as well!
Karius's spatial ability was to briefly tear space, create a small spatial channel, and then use his dice or poker cards for surprise attacks.
The trajectories of ranged weapons like dice or cards were predictable, making them easier for opponents to defend against.
However, Karius could use his ability to open spatial channels, allowing his ranged attacks to suddenly change trajectory.
Especially when he set the other end of the channel in a blind spot behind a person, making it impossible to guard against.
Moreover, the opening of the spatial channel was less than 10 centimeters from the back of Ling Tian's head. Even if an enemy sensed something amiss behind them, there would be no time to react!
An ordinary person might have fallen victim to this, but Karius never imagined that Ling Tian would sense the existence of the spatial channel!
This was not surprising. Ling Tian had been using the Spirit Realm space for a long time and had gained considerable experience in opening spatial channels and traversing space.
Furthermore, in the Pavilion of Myriad Laws within the Spirit Realm space, there were many records of spatial magic. Although Ling Tian could not yet control these spells at will, he had gained some understanding of spatial laws.
Also, Ling Tian had signed a contract with Ahri, who mastered spatial abilities. Therefore, Ahri's perception of space had been partially transferred to Ling Tian.
Thus, just now, Karius had used another diversionary tactic. Those poker cards were meant to obstruct Ling Tian's vision and draw his attention. The real killing blow was this spatial channel and this poker card crafted from special alloy!
But Ling Tian had sensed it and neutralized this fatal blow!
Seeing Ling Tian's fingers夹住 that golden poker card, Karius felt his face was lost. With a flash of thought, he prepared to detonate the ability within the poker card.
However, before the poker card could explode, Karius suddenly realized he had lost his mental connection to it.
Ling Tian had anticipated Karius's intention and acted first, directly storing the poker card into the Spirit Realm space.
The Spirit Realm space belonged to another world. By doing this, Ling Tian had directly severed Karius's mental connection to the poker card.
The poker card fell into the Spirit Realm space, and the spiritual energy attached to it gradually dissipated, becoming part of the vast spiritual energy of the Spirit Realm space.
"Alright, Mr. Karius, your attack is over, and you have no more trump cards. Next, it will be my turn. Are you ready?"
"You!"
Karius raised his hand, and several cards immediately appeared in his hand. But suddenly, Karius felt a cold sensation on his forehead. He looked up, and the scene before him made him break out in a cold sweat.
It turned out that Ling Tian, at some unknown time, had already appeared before him, and in Ling Tian's hand was a Smith & Wesson.
"I lose!"
Karius said, releasing his grip. The poker cards in his hand fell to the ground. Ling Tian then retracted his pistol, which, along with the Scarlet Flame Treasure Sword, disappeared into the adjacent space.
The surrounding onlookers were envious. In just this short while, Ling Tian had produced two long swords and a handgun. These items were not small, yet Ling Tian could produce them at will. This could only mean one thing: Ling Tian possessed spatial equipment!
