The space within the void fissure was just that… a literal void where nothing existed but the vast expanse of space.

But what if there was a situation where Arran was up against an opponent whose gap in the realm was impossible to cross logically?

Even more surprised, Arran looked around swiftly but he couldn’t find anybody around him. Then he thought of something and turned back to look at Soran who continued to tremble in the air.
