Varian channeled his space power and activated his still rudimentary space sense.
It only allowed him to vaguely sense the space around him, but no control over it whatsoever.
However, after the recent progress, he could sense the space around even while in motion.
"Shuaa"
Varian moved to the side again.
"Weez"
"Boom"
"Boom"
He continued to dodge, but the frequency of attacks increased. Varian was able to catch a glimpse of his attackers.
These Abyssals wore animal skin and a chain of human fingers around their neck.
They teleported into the distance after a single attack and the next barrage of attacks started, giving him no time to breathe.
'This must work.'
Varian vaguely felt the surrounding space.
His five senses could only bring him to the point of dodging. But to switch from defensive to offensive, he needed to feel the change in space before his skin could feel the wind change from the attack or his ears could hear the wind howling.
Varian felt the space around him was a silent lake. It was calm and pristine.
"Shuaa"
Then a ripple appeared, and he dodged while punching back at the ripple's position.
"Boom!"
The Abyssal wasn't expecting it and Varian's gauntlet pierced his chest and came from the other side.
His lungs were punctured and he collapsed on the ground, twitching.
Varian smiled, but multiple ripples appeared around the space.
"Hau"
"Shuaa"
"Ssssh"
Spear, darts, arrows rushed at him.
Varian used his higher physical stats and dodged. At the same time, he targeted the last attacker.
He thought he would get the second kill, but —
"Guaa. Boom!"
The space around Varian froze, and he was delayed by a moment.
"Hua!" Another Abyssal appeared just then and pierced at him with a spear.
"Damn!"
Varian cursed and broke the solid space with his body to dodge the spear. But he was a bit late.
"Shh" It pierced his chest.
"Blaugh! " Varian felt his insides shake.
The Abyssal he aimed for already teleported into the distance.
"Fuck." Varian cursed and jumped away.
There were several reasons for the battle to reach this point. First was that each of these Space Awakener Abyssal, was more advanced in their path than him.
To put into perspective, his Level 2 Body path was 45/200. He was barely beginning. But these Abyssals would be around 100/200 to 160/200. Much advanced, even though they were in the same level.
Even then, Varian would be able to defeat one Abyssal using his two powers. But the problem was —
"Huaa"
"Shuaa"
"Ssssh"
"Wheez"
They attacked in groups and were well coordinated.
Varian once again dodged and attacked an Abyssal from the group.
But this time, too, the space around him froze.
The Abyssals were using Space binding against him. Since they were Level 2, no direct contact was required, though there was a limit to how far it could be used.
"Shaa"
"Huaa"
Two more Abyssals teleported in front and behind and attacked him at the same time.
The sword and the spear threatened to tear him apart.
"Not this time." Varian didn't try to dodge this time, but instead went ahead with the offensive.
His fist plunged into the Abyssal's neck, snapping it.
"Thud"
The second Abyssal collapsed and, at the same time, the sword and spear were about to make contact with his body.
The next moment, the spear would pierce his heart, and the sword, his lungs.
The Abyssals finally smiled in relief and mockery.
They were living as captives and their vengeance never ended. Killing a cadet meant contribution.
But the next second, their smiles froze.
"Ting"
The space around Varian's chest was solidified. The attacks slowed down for a moment.
Varian showed a middle finger to them and vanished.
Teleportation!
Was he a Dual Awakener?
That was the only question in their mind.
Varian appeared a few meters away.
This was a novel experience for him. His gap with them in the same level could be made up by his second path.
Varian wielded his sword with right hand and focused on space.
He was ready to hit at the ripples.
"Bang!"
"Boom!"
"Shhh"
Varian punched at the third ripple position. The Abyssal, of course, froze the space.
But it collapsed the next second as a sword lodged into its neck.
Varian knew the course of action and thus, threw his sword right when it applied Space binding.
At the same time he threw, he teleported and dogged the attacks.
"Boom!"
"Shh"
An axe and a sword broke the boulders at his previous location.
The dust rose high, and Varian was calm despite the injury.
'If this is a tribe of sort, then these guys are the fighters.'
Varian rushed to his previous location, and the Abyssals teleported out. They appeared in a safe distance where they had enough time to react before Varian reached them.
'Who is the one directing the fight?'
Varian bent down to pick his sword bathed in the green blood.
The moment he bent down and clutched his sword, the opportunistic Abyssals teleported behind him.
Sword, Spear, dart, arrow.
All came at him.
"Heh"
Varian kicked back at an amazing speed. His leg was frozen, but he threw his sword at the same time.
The Abyssal was focusing on the fast kick and couldn't focus on the sword.
The other Abyssals weren't close enough to the sword to use space binding.
"Thud"
Another Abyssal was down.
"Guh" Varian broke the space binding around his leg and nearly staggered.
"Shuaa"
"Haa"
As expected, the two follow up Abyssals arrived to attack him at the opportune moment but Varian already teleported away.
'Spacorts, I'm coming.' Varian grinned.
This fight took him time to adapt to, but it was very rewarding.
"Shuaa"
"Shh"
"Weez"
The same scene repeated. This time as well, Varian followed the same tactic. This time, an Abyssal was closer and used Space binding on the sword saving the target.
"Thud"
Instead, the one who blocked was punched to death by an unexpectedly quick punch.
'I knew you would change your tactics. So did I.' Varian smirked.
"Shauu"
"Huaa"
Then the follow up attack came.
Varian teleported out, but right then, his face froze and a spear pierced his chest.
