Dimension 1

Rei-Ginsei’s body shot up like a spring, and was pierced by a flash of
silver.

And yet it was D that fell to one knee with a low moan.
“What?! That’s impossible ... ” It was only right that Dan exclaimed this
as he peeked around the statue.

As Rei-Ginsei was leaping into the air, D’s sword slid into his belly in
the blink of an eye. Half the blade’s length had clearly gone into his
opponent. And yet the tip of the blade had emerged from D’s own
abdomen!

“Damn!” Rei-Ginsei spat, leaping away. And as he did, something even
stranger happened—naturally the sword in D’s hand came out of Rei-Ginsei’s belly, but at exactly the same rate the blade jutting from D’s stomach pulled back into the Hunter’s body! Dan watched in astonishment.
“I see now. I’d heard there were mutants like you,” D muttered. Not
surprisingly, he was still down on one knee, and wincing ever so slightly. A
deep red stain was spreading across the bottom of his shirt. “You’re a
dimension-twister, aren’t you, you son of a bitch? That was close.”
