I saw his arm growing back in an instant as he made a painful expression. A rapid regeneration ability perhaps?
Then he turned at me with his eyes turning a bit reddish than usual before he spoke up,
"Stand down!"
I looked at him with a bit of confusion as I asked,"Why?"
His eyes turned wide in shock as he looked at me with his eyes glowing deep red before he spoke in disbelief,"you… you don't have Cessation Energy inside you… how is… that possible?"
There was slight fear in his eyes as he observed me.
'Hmmm… Cessation Energy? Isn't it the same thing that is… what Caroline and the others have inside them and making them powerful? Does that mean… if he wants to, he can control them?' A complex yet infuriating thought came into my mind… Then, I saw him coming towards me.
Time slowed again…
He was running towards me before he tried punching me as hard as he could.
Though… I raised my hand, easily blocking his slow punch with my palm. It was as easy as stopping a paper now. As soon as I stopped his punch, the time began moving at its normal speed again.
-Thud!
He looked at me, holding his fist, in my hands while I looked at him with a smile. Each time I smiled at him, his expression turned even more serious than before…
I asked with a little chuckle,"now now. We can all discuss this peacefully, can't we?"
His guard went down a little as he just blankly looked at me before
-Tear!
I tore out his arm again without much difficulty as my expression changed. My warm and calm smile turned into a cold one as I spoke,"just… kidding."
It won't be just foolish to let a man go who literally killed me just a few moments ago, it would be utter disgrace to the entirety of my existence.
Sensing danger he took a step back while his eyes never left my gaze. Though… time slowed again as my senses enhanced again and I walked towards him… behind him as I touched his shoulders.
'About time I end this,' I thought as I began crushing his shoulders.
Time moved normally again as I tuned down my senses.
"Come on now. Are you trying to leave here?" I spoke and he vanished immediately from there before
-BOOM!!!!
'Huh? He teleported?' A bit confused, I tried sensing him around…
I suddenly felt a slight itch behind me. Turning around, I saw him almost trying to attack me with a green coloured sword which was trying its best to pierce through my back…
"How did you do that?" I asked without much of a problem but hearing my carefree voice his eyes widened as he made a massive jump behind…
"[Lerteuaim Mislema Pikemfa Uau]" he said before…
-BOOOOM!!!!!!!!
The space around him began to reverberate and I could feel the ground shaking a little as well…
His eyes turned as deep red as possible… there was a glow in them that felt a bit blinding.
'I would be fine but…'
I turned to Erina and she was having a hard time breathing so I moved to her, stood in front of her as I spoke,
"How long can you keep up?"
She didn't look at me but I could hear her words,"about 3 minutes… with all my powers…"
I nodded with slight relief before speaking,"then use half of your powers… keep the half for escaping this place. I won't be able to help you out completely… but I will…" I turned to look at the white skinned, 6 winged, two horned, red eyed Demon like Zombie…. Kira.
'Is that his real form?' I thought as I gazed at him with a deep look.
Speaking to Erina,"I will kill that bastard for you," I then moved a few steps towards that guy.
I peeked back a little to see Erina slightly speaking a chant to heal herself before I concentrated on that guy as he was taking out his sword…
-BOOM!!!
In a single jump, I reached in front of him as time was still slowed… though, before I could reach him, I saw him moving faster than usual…
-Slash!
-Slash!
-Slash!
I saw him slashing my arms and legs off my body while I barely dodged his attacks…
[Dedifferentiating lower limb]
[Regrowing lower limb cells]
[Conducting a path way for redefferintinaoi]
[Redifferentiating lower limb cells]
[Converting them into tissues!]
[Making them more schematic!]
[Rearranging the tissues back to their most suitable form!]
[Dedifferentiating upper left limb!]
[Regrowing….]
[Conducting…]
.
.
Another barrage of messages followed in front of me before my arms and legs healed in an instant. The very next second I saw his sword coming at my neck which I once again dodged with my advanced reflex…
I tried moving for a punch but… I saw him dodging it swiftly again and moving for another attack.
-Slash!
Once again he managed to slice my hand off….
Once again I regrew it before moving towards him…
"You are just someone who outgrew his physical powers," I heard him as he slashed me again… and again… with every slash he succeeded, he was getting closer to my vitals…
"In front of pure skills… you are still nothing…" he spoke as he kept attacking me over and over…
Though as soon as he reached closer to my neck…
"I… do have some skills," I muttered with a slight smile while I observed him… his eyes shook a little… they grew a little more cautious…
[Return!]
I reached exactly behind him… at the right point, in the right moment… and…
-BOOOOOOOM!!!!!!
I punched him with all my strength at once…
I saw him falling down as his body completely disintegrated…
But I still haven't received any message that he has been defeated yet…
'He is-' I was about to think but I sensed him behind me…
[Invincibility Potion taken]
-Clank!
I saw his sword slashing me from 18 different directions but in the end… it stopped at my neck… unable to pierce my skin… even a bit…
My eyes widened a little as I wondered about the source of this [Potion] while his eyes widened as he looked at me… he was scared… once again…
Then his eyes grew even more red and his white jade like skin turned dark… with a strange tattoo covering all his body. And once again he attacked me with all his force…
-Clank!!!
[The power of attack is too much compared to what the Invincibility Potion can take!]
[The Invincibility Potion's effect has been nullified!]
I received the message, but the attack still failed to pierce my skin… perhaps the attack was equal to defense?... his sword was still there as I just smiled at Kira who was scared shitless for a few moments as his eyes turned even redder before a green hue came into them…
"This is the best I can do… if I can't even kill you with this much… then I don't deserve to live after this…" he spoke as a maddening cry echoed from his mouth and the entire space….
It started distorting…
"AAAAAAAA!!!!" He shouted as the whole place began falling.
'Well… seems like it's about time I gave my all as well…'
My eyes turned green as I looked at him…
[Eyes of the Time Keeper (Multidimensional Vision)]
It was about time to finish this whole dungeon thing…
