Hermit watched the other two Sovereigns step into the rift in space created by their combined power. He and Duncan couldn’t interfere from outside his dome, as that would be traced by the other Scions. However, what happened inside the dome was hidden even from them. It had taken a lot of planning to carry this plan out, the hardest part of it being the dummy fight that they’d needed to fabricate when the Cores of all the Sovereigns had vanished.

Truthfully, there was no way he or Duncan could have done so. Neither of them was suited to that kind of task. Thankfully, the Scion of Tales was happy to lend her aid. Though she wasn’t with them now, she’d forged a false fight and managed to disguise her actions from the other Scions.

If she wasn’t close to the 1st Dan already, then Hermit would be shocked.

“The dome’s coming down,” Duncan said as wide cracks formed over the invisible field.

It had taken a lot of doing on Duncan’s part to keep it hidden from the enemy Scions. According to what he said, it would be visible from the inside, so they had made sure to brief their own Sovereigns about not allowing any of the enemies to make it out alive, lest their ruse be discovered.

He’d allowed Hermit to see through the dome and watch the fight that transpired within. As they’d predicated, a five-on-three fight, even if they counted the Sage, skewed heavily in their favor, and having Ikari and Pelata battle for a bit before crafting their illusion and energy-suppressing dome had weakened them enough to be easier targets.

Their Sovereigns had gotten a bit banged up in the process, but in the end, one of the enemy Sovereigns hadn’t even had the chance to call on his own Conqueror technique, as Mizumi Tokei had taken him down in a brilliant combination of techniques. She might have looked like a little girl, but that woman was as dangerous as they came.

He still wasn’t sure what the little wave had been for, but knowing her reputation, she had to be plotting something.

The dome dropped then and the illusory fighters, who’d been descending over the last minute, settled over the spots where the real fighters were before Hana dismissed them. Hopefully, their timing was good enough that the enemy wouldn’t be able to tell what happened, but Hermit prepared himself for what he knew was about to happen.

With a boom of displaced air, three figures appeared above the battlefield, staring down at the two Sovereigns who had bested their fighters.

“Shall we?” Hermit asked.

“It’s not like we have a choice,” Duncan replied.

The world warped and bent around him as Hermit willed himself to travel to the site of the battle. It was a power innate in all Scions, the ability to warp space around themselves, pulling two points of the world together and moving through it. It still wasn’t easy for either of them, new as they were to being Scions, but
