Chapter 7:

Metaphysics?

Izunami


“Just what is the metaphysical realm”? 《Answer, the metaphysical realm is a realm where metaphysics can exist. Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy that deals with the first principles of things, including abstract concepts such as being, knowing, substance, cause, identity, time, and space. Metaphysics is a major branch of philosophy. It concerns existence and the nature of things that exist. ... Apart from ontology, metaphysics concerns the nature of, and relations among, the things that exist. The metaphysical idea that reality exists independently of one's mind and yet can be known is called realism. “Are you ready to battle?” “Because I’m coming at ya”. The god was running at speeds I couldn’t comprehend… “Great sage which way is he coming from?” 《Answer, he will attack from above then move to the right. “I see… Just as great sage predicted he came from above then the right, thanks to great sage I was able to dodge the gods attacks and eventually even hit him. 

“I don’t want to admit it either, but patience is the right course now…” The battle lasted a while but I was eventually able to get the upper hand. With absolute confidence in my ability to move faster than he can, I fearlessly launched a kick at the god. My kick was sharp, heavy, and combined with a feint. At first, My foot was closing in to sweep the gods legs, before jerking upward to land a clean uppercut. Despite Eva being the one to land a devastating kick, she ended up scrunching her face. 

“Tsk, just how built are you?” I grumbled with a click of my tongue. “Hahaha, that tickled. I’d hardly call this a fight. Entertain me more,” the god laughed as he ignited a small flame in his palm.

It was the elemental magic ‘Napalm Burst’—a jet of flames that took the shape of a dragon, diving at his target with its long and narrow body. Its goal was to relentlessly attack the target until they were toasted. Burning at several thousand degrees, any normal man would become charcoal in an instant. This flame dragon closing in on me. “It’s a waste of effort!” I shouted. Great sage already told me what move you’d use next— I was about to take another careless swing at the god when suddenly a shiver ran down my spine and jumped away.“Ho, your instincts are quite sharp,” The god said with a smile. I had no time to retort, as I had thrown himself on the ground and was rolling around, trying to quell the flames. “It hurts, it hurts. The flames were super hot and hard to put out. “Is this the end?” I thought.
