A fatal mistake

The emperor didn't move. 

He just blocked my sword with his- a sword blacker than darkness. Even Ashirnae's Mythic sword wasn't that dark. 

"YES, TRULY MAGNIFICENT. IF ONLY YOU'D LISTEN."

"But wouldn't it become boring if I were to just listen to you and dance on your palm?"

I hit him with a holy ball out of nowhere. I'd made it seem like I was going to use my spear, but I switched at the very last moment. 

My battle with Dick was a good reminder to me, that I could use fast transfers with my ring, assuming I had enough mana.

It was a positive hit and I took a step back. 

But nothing happened.

"AHHHAHHHASH!" Even his laughter was ominous. "BUT ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE NOT ALREADY DANCING ON THE PALM OF MY HAND, NOW?"

Well, he did have a point. 

Flick!
