These were not humanoid substitutes, but rather about ten pale white cube-shaped frames rotating around his main body.
At the same time, Lu Ye suddenly felt his vision dim for a moment, as if many shadows were enveloping him.
Lu Ye looked up alertly and suddenly saw hundreds of steel bars and broken bricks falling from dozens of meters above him! The area covered was wide, roughly twenty meters in radius, and scattered in a circle!
Without hesitation, Lu Ye summoned his Stand, Gray Age.
There's no way to escape in this situation. The steel bars and bricks will fall in a few seconds at most. Although Lu Ye could have escaped with the help of Senpou Kick, the fact that the opponent's manipulated body fell also indirectly confirms that the enemy's Stand has spatial abilities.
He couldn't properly observe his surroundings while escaping, and it wouldn't be worth it if he got ambushed. Besides, this was a good opportunity to understand the limitations of the opponent's Stand ability.
The gray era unleashed a barrage of attacks into the sky.
The steel bars and broken bricks above Lu Ye's head were all knocked off and fell to the ground with a crash.
Seeing this, Osborne bit his lower lip.
Damn it... why didn't this guy run away immediately?
“Not bad, kid. It was right that you didn’t run away. Now we can be sure of it,” Polnareff said. “Considering what happened in the restaurant, that guy’s Stand ability can not only cut through space but also move objects. However, it can only move them and cannot exert force actively. Otherwise, he could have easily taken advantage of you dealing with the building materials falling from the sky and attacked you from the side in the same way.”
Lu Ye did not respond to Polnareff's words, nor did he immediately go to attack Osborn. Instead, he turned around and began to look for the place where the steel bars had been piled up earlier.
The ability to freely manipulate space?
This is beyond doubt.
But just how free is it?
Lu Ye needs an answer.
Just as Lu Ye discovered something interesting at the location where the steel bars were piled up, tons of cement bags suddenly rained down from above.
But Lu Ye's expression was not relaxed.
If it were just a regular cement bag, it would have been manageable during the gray period.
But these cement bags are hard. Lu Ye saw that many of the cement bags had raised edges because they were left here and began to solidify after rain.
Tons of cement blocks are being smashed down!
Chapter 750 Substitute: Rift Block
Now there's no way to avoid running away.
Lu Ye took off running.
However, just as he was about to escape the boundary of the "rain of cement blocks", he suddenly realized that the space in front of him... seemed to be divided into a square by twelve edges that emitted a pale red light.
The next second, Osborn suddenly appeared, grinning maliciously as he attacked, and the ten pale cubes surrounding him immediately rushed towards Lu Ye.
But Gray Age was faster. It suddenly appeared and rushed forward, unleashing a barrage of Ora punches at the pale cubes. Its punches were incredibly fast, raining down on Osborn's stand-in like a dense storm.
The cube was immediately defeated.
Although it was a mutual fight, which mitigated some of the damage, a trickle of blood still flowed from the corner of Osborne's mouth.
But that's no longer important.
Because he has already achieved his goal.
A bag of solidified cement fell from above Lu Ye's head.
This was something Osborn deliberately transferred using his Stand ability when Lu Ye summoned his Stand to fight against his own Stand.
The gray stand no longer had time to return to Lu Ye's side to defend himself.
—You're dead! Just wait for your head to be smashed!
But just as Osborn was about to shout excitedly, he saw that Lu Ye had somehow produced a long red sword in his hand.
When the cement block was less than half a meter away from him, two sharp blades flashed, forming a perfect cross. The cement bags were instantly shredded into large and small cubes, which scattered from both sides of the road and crashed to the ground.
This move completely stunned Osborn and Polonarev.
You cleaved through solidified cement with a single blow; your strength is even greater than a Stand's, isn't it?!
That's true; only a Stand can fight another Stand.
However, Lu Ye could easily cut through these cement blocks with his sword. The strength and speed of his sword swings, if measured by the standards of a Stand, would be around A-rank.
Realizing something was wrong, Osborn immediately used his spatial teleportation ability to retreat before Lu Ye's sword and his clone could strike him.
Lu Ye watched him run into the building, but did nothing.
"Hey, what's wrong? Aren't you going to chase after them?" Polnareff said. "In this emergency, I won't ask where you drew the red sword from... Now it's pretty much certain that the guy's Stand power and speed are inferior to yours, but his ability is more troublesome."
“If it’s spatial teleportation, why did he make sure I saw him enter the building?” Lu Ye said. “I have a similar ability. He was on the scaffolding on the second floor. Even if he can teleport anywhere, the distance shouldn’t be more than a few dozen meters.”
"Do you have similar abilities?"
"You need to mark it in advance."
"I understand. You mean he deliberately let you see him escape into the building to lure you in?"
"Of course, the cement, steel bars, bricks, and the like just now probably fell from a height of more than 30 meters... Thinking about it carefully, if his teleportation distance is not limited, then he should have dropped these things from an even higher place. That way, with the help of gravitational potential energy, the cement and steel bars would undoubtedly be more powerful, and they would not be easy for us to detect. By the time we see the shadow of the steel bars, we would probably be turned into skewers before we could react."
After listening to Lu Ye's analysis, Polnareff felt it made a lot of sense.
It would be terrifying if there were no restrictions on teleportation-capable Stands.
However, this also indirectly confirms the authenticity of the matter.
After all, if it were truly possible to teleport to any location, then he and Lu Ye wouldn't have only faced one Stand user on the SPW Foundation's plane.
Of course, that's not the whole reason.
More importantly, Lu Ye realized that he was now inside a cube.
Just a second before Osborn appeared, a cube composed of twelve pale red edges appeared where he had appeared.
Lu Ye is currently inside this cube.
Although the light was not noticeable during the day, it was still spotted by the sharp-eyed Lu Ye. There were also similar pale red cubes in the sky when the steel bars and cement fell earlier.
Polnareff also quickly noticed the cubes.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that we couldn't help but realize it.
The moment Lu Ye noticed the anomaly, several cubes, each composed of twelve pale red edges, suddenly appeared on the open ground. They were all roughly the same size, just big enough to accommodate one person.
The experienced Polnareff immediately understood the true nature of the opponent's Stand.
"The opponent's ability is probably to cut space into cube-shaped blocks. Strictly speaking, it's not that he teleported instantly, but rather that he swapped the blocks between each other."
“Yes, if the cubes were swapped, that makes sense. And judging from the range… I was right. It seems the other party can cut a space with a radius of thirty meters into several spatial blocks, and the size can be controlled at will…” Lu Ye said. “But that’s not important. What’s important is that we can’t move now.”
"What do you mean?" Polnareff was taken aback.
“Osborne severed my right arm when I was at the restaurant,” Lu Ye said. “I just looked at the area where the steel bars were piled up not far away. It looks like there are no bars left, but in fact, there are still quite a few remnants…”
"Residue?" Polnareff turned his head to look.
Upon closer inspection, he immediately understood what Lu Ye meant.
Where the steel bars were originally piled up, there were still some short steel bars that had been cut off. The same was true for the cement; many of the cement pieces had their edges neatly cut off, with smooth and clean cuts.
“Do you understand?” Lu Ye said, “The cross-sections of these steel bars and cement were created by the edges of these cubes. If an object is located at these pale red edges… that is, the edge of the cube, once Osborn activates his ability to swap the two cubes, the object located at the edge will be torn in half.”
This is easy to understand.
If Lu Ye were standing on the edge of a cube-shaped space block, with half of his body inside and half outside, then when Osborn activates his Stand ability, the half of his body inside the cube-shaped space block would be moved to another location, while the other half would remain in place. This would be equivalent to Lu Ye being cut in half.
Lu Ye, who had lost his right arm because of this method, finally understood why Geralt was unwilling to enter the portal.
Because if you're not careful, your butt might end up in a tree.
However, this also indirectly confirms two things.
First, the size of the cube-shaped space block can be adjusted.
Secondly, Osborn was already in the building thirty meters behind, secretly observing the situation. As soon as his body passed through the cube-shaped space block, he would take the opportunity to swap space blocks and thus shred himself.
Just as Lu Ye had guessed, Osborne was indeed peeking at him cautiously from behind a load-bearing pillar behind an unfinished building not far away.
Seeing that Lu Ye didn't make any rash moves, Osborne was overjoyed.
"So what if you know my Stand ability? You're already locked in a cage. If you dare to step out of bounds, I'll cut you in two! This is my invincible Stand—Teleport Blocks!!"
Chapter 751 The Battle of the Unfinished Building
"Looks like we're trapped."
Polnareff looked serious.
The enemy's Stand, while having average attack power, speed, and precision, possesses extremely powerful Stand abilities.
The ability to divide space into blocks and then transfer those blocks is indeed very tricky.
Having witnessed Lu Ye's attacks and those of his Stand, the enemy, unable to defeat him head-on, seemed to back down and did not want to fight Lu Ye to the death. So they chose this method, imprisoning Lu Ye in this spatial block and monitoring him from the shadows.
If Lu Ye dares to cross the spatial block, his body will be instantly severed.
"Trapped? Did he ask my double?"
Lu Ye walked straight to the edge of the space block and snapped his fingers.
The Gray Age appeared, then exploded instantly, turning into a cloud of smoke that enveloped Lu Ye and Polnareff.
Dozens of meters away, Osborn, standing behind the unfinished building, coldly watched the fog burst open and realized with alarm that the other party might be about to activate their Stand ability.
However, the next second, Osborne was stunned.
Because Lu Ye had actually moved from his original spot to another spatial block a few meters away!
A few drops of cold sweat trickled down Osborne's forehead.
How...how did this guy do that?!
He thought that as long as he monitored Lu Ye's actions from here, he could keep Lu Ye trapped here.
Another Stand user is already on their way.
At that time, we will be able to take him down with our numerical and strength advantage.
