I turned back at the fight, which looked a lot more intense with the Storm Eagle's large area attack.
A few thousands of wind shards that were the size of a palm flew at high speeds in all directions, covering a large area around Jay. They sliced any tree or rock in their path into pieces.
If even one of those shards were to hit me, I would be sliced apart just like the trees.
So I quickly created a Space Pocket and entered it so that I wouldn't be a casualty in their crossfire.
Because no attacks can reach me once I was in a Space Pocket, making me invisible and invulnerable at the same time.
However, the duration that I could maintain stability in a Space Pocket was short because of my limited Spirit Energy.
Like a one-way mirror, I could watch everything that's happening outside the Space Pocket but not the other way around.
Even though my eyes couldn't keep up with both of their high-speed movements, I was able to get the hang of the overall situation.
The Storm Eagle's barrage of attacks managed to devastate a large area around Jay, but none of those wind shards managed to break past the defence of the full-body armour that Jay wore.
Then, Jay took the chance to attack the Storm Eagle that was taken aback by the defensive prowess of Jay's new armour.
A dark-blue aura extended 4 meters on top of his longsword, and using that, he swung it pointing towards the monster. A blade of dark-blue aura was shot from his sword, moving at high speed towards Storm Eagle.
But it managed to dodge that attack and many others that followed behind.
I didn't understand why Jay continued to attack even when his attacks couldn't hit the Storm Eagle, which has an advantage in the distance and its mobility in the air.
Soon, he seemed to be exhausted from the depletion of Spirit Energy and noting that the Tier-3 monster divided towards him at its fastest speed to kill him.
At the same time, I used something I called 'Reverse Teleportation' on Jay.
Usually, if I had to teleport someone along with me, I had to have physical contact with them. But, in the case of 'Reverse Teleportation' that I recently came up with, I just had to concentrate on an object or a person in my vicinity to teleport them anywhere within my 500-meter radius.
The only downside for that was the expenditure of Spirit Energy, as it depends on the weight of the said object or person that I was using Reverse teleportation on.
This means that I would be exiting the Space Pocket due to high Spirit Energy expenditure from using Reverse teleportation and exposing myself to danger. However, I still used it since I couldn't let him die because if he were to die, the Storm Eagle would eventually find me once the duration of Space Pocket ends.
In the next instant, Jay, who was about to be killed by the Tier-3 monster, was reverse teleported and reappeared right beside me.
To my disbelief, almost all of my remaining Spirit Energy reserve was drained from a single use of Reverse Teleportation on Jay, making me wonder just how heavy that man actually was.
From the exhaustion of using a lot of Spirit Energy at once, I leaned on my knees using both hands and said while looking at him, "Mr Jay, I will introduce myself later, but we have to escape the Dome before the Storm Eagle senses our locati….."
Before I could complete my sentence, the Storm Eagle let out a loud enraged shriek that resounded throughout the Dome.
Its shriek was so loud that it ruptured my eardrums. Other than buzzing sounds, I could not hear anything else.
While covering my bleeding ears, I turned my gaze towards Storm Eagle and realised why it was so enraged.
Both of its paws were pierced through and blue blood oozed out of them. But I didn't understand how it was wounded.
I felt something was off and turned towards Jay, who didn't look exhausted like how he was a second ago, and the sword in his hand had blue blood on it.
By placing all those pieces together, realisation dawned on me on what actually happened before I reverse teleported Jay.
It seemed that Jay pretended to be weak and exhausted to lure the Storm Eagle and kill it once it let its guard down and closed upon him.
But I misread the situation and teleported him when he was just a split second away from killing the Tier-3 monster.
While I was contemplating on how big I messed up the situation, the Storm Eagle prepared some kind of ultimate attack as all the air within the Dome was siphoned towards it and stacked on top of its body, forming tens of layers of sharp condensed wind.
Once its preparation was done, the Storm Eagle let out another shriek, and each wind layer on top of its body shot out at once.
Nearly 100 of those condensed wind layers that had the exact shape as the Storm Eagle moved like they had a conscience and approached us from different directions, leaving no chances to escape.
Because of my depleted Spirit Energy, I couldn't teleport even if I wanted to.
In those last moments, memories of my entire life flashed in front of me, and the regrets I had in my life surfaced in my mind.
I regretted not mending with my father after the angry argument I had with him. I regretted that I didn't ask out the girl I was in love with for 5 years.
I regretted that the person who might as well be the hope of Earth in the Trial Program would die because of me.
I know that my apology wouldn't suffice, but I still stuttered, "Mr Jay, I am tru...truly sorry."
For some reason, he wasn't angry at me; to be precise, he didn't have any emotion on his face. When those 100 wind layers of Storm Eagle were about to hit us, he sighed and said just a single word.
Even though I couldn't hear what he said because of my ruptured eardrums, I could still tell that the word he said was 'Inverse' from reading his lips.
In the next instant, steam covered everything in my vision, and a few flashes of dark-blue light within it and sounds of explosions followed.
I stood there as I looked around for the wind layers that were in the shape of the Storm Eagle but to no avail.
After a second of silence, I heard loud collision sounds from the direction where the Storm Eagle was located.
The wind shockwaves originated from the impact of those unknown collisions that caused the cloud of steam in my surroundings to disperse.
Once the steam was cleared, I saw a scene that I could never forget in my life.
Those wind shockwaves were an after-effect of the collision impacts from the fight between Storm Eagle and a 10-meter tall, Humanoid Titan with silver hair.
Rather than a fight, it was the Humanoid Titan single-handedly thrashing the once-powerful Storm Eagle.
Because of the unique Full Body Armour on the Humanoid Titan, I recognised that it was none other than Jay.
My sense of logic was first altered when I saw him fight against a High-Phase Tier-3 on almost equal terms while he was just in High-Phase Tier-2.
But when I saw him pounding the mighty Storm Eagle like it was some kind of helpless punching bag, my remaining sense of logic was broken.
The Storm Eagle tried to fly away, but when Jay pointed his palm towards the Tier-3 monster, it was pulled towards him almost like a metal that was being pulled by some kind of high-powered magnet.
Jay didn't use any Weapon or Skills on the monster. Instead, all he used was his pure physical power.
Every time the Storm Eagle let out a shriek, he would punch it in the face, and that continued for quite some time.
The more I looked at it, that seemed more like him trying to tame it by the pure difference in power.
Even though it was intelligent enough to understand that it would get punched whenever it let out a shriek, the Storm Eagle still continued to let out enraged shrieks at Jay till the moment it died, almost as if it wasn't in control of itself.
Then, a baby in Santa costume popped up beside Jay and turned into a green stream of light before entering the Storm Eagle's Corpse.
What happened afterward caused whatever that was left of my broken sense of logic to completely shatter.
