It was unsettling. Albert knew his special technique cannot be dodged, but the way that man examined him and his surrounding made him feel an indescribable horror. For a moment, he had a lingering thought that perhaps 'Will he actually dodge them?'

But just as soon as that appeared, Albert quickly dismissed it and increased the energy of the sphere in his stomach.

In just a moment from now, a thick cluster of countless energy shots will shoot out from the sphere in his stomach, and they will all rain down and attack that man. To even think that this man will be able to somehow dodge this attack was inconceivable, especially in this cramped room. The human body occupied a certain amount of space, so if those energy shots filled the entire room, it will be logically impossible to dodge or block all of them, regardless of how much of a proficient swordsman or a fighter you are. Even if you were ridiculously faster, it wouldn't matter when there even wasn't space to dodge.

Still, the man's gaze on him felt cold, as if he was piercing his soul.

'What the hell are you looking at with those creepy-looking eyes?' Albert thought, 'I'll crush, and I'll absorb your soul. I'll make sure you'll suffer for all of eternity!'

"Die, you wretched bastard!" Albert exclaimed out loud, and immediately after, the sphere in his stomach glowed a brilliant light of red, and in just a moment, thousands of energy bullets shot out everywhere.

They were similar to the sphere in terms of shape and color, but their speed was so inconceivably fast that even Albert, with his astonishing speed, wouldn't even be able to dodge or block even one of them.

The energy bullets filled the room, and a lot of them ricocheted off the walls. Logically speaking, these bullets should also affect Albert since they will be shot everywhere, but thankfully, since they are his own energy, they passed through his body whenever they touched him as if he was intangible.

It took less than a blink of an eye for the bullets to bounce through the entire room, and of course, many of them reached the man.

Albert laughed in his mind, and a certain sense of relief washed over him. It was over, he thought.

But, something kept bothering him. This man was doing something strange. Just as the shots were about to reach him, he slightly tilted his body at a weird angle. His arms, legs, head, everything was tilted at a different angle.

'What the hell is he-'

"...?!"

Before Albert could finish his thoughts, he widened his eyes in a shock, and his mouth was threatening to fall off from the shock that just happened before him.

The bullets, which were supposed to tear the man into shreds, easily passed through the man without any injuries to the man!

'No- It- it... looks like he's dodging them?!' Albert's mind was crumbling more and more as he witnessed the unbelievable sight in front of him. Every bullet that was reaching towards the man was easily dodged by the simplest tilting of his body. It was impossible, incomprehensible, Albert thought.

With every movement he made, the man was able to dodge the set of hundreds of bullets that came toward him at the same time. Albert, who had astonishing reaction speed and as such was able to perceive the man, didn't understand how he was dodging them.

His mind couldn't register it. It was so unfathomable that even his mind couldn't register how the man was dodging the bullets.

Albert instinctively took a step back in fear, his eyes shivering with horror. Immediately, he strengthened the power of the sphere, causing another set of thousands of energy bullets to shoot out of it, causing his own stamina and energy to be depleted at an unfathomable rate.
