Chapter 178: Armless
There were so many influential and various people around her that Celes didn't bother thinking of any plan.
With Louise by her side, Celes knew she had enough means to stay intact for some time. And with her new powers, Celes was the only one to read The Human Emperor's divine time concept.
When he froze the time, she was the only one not affected by it.
"You won't!" Celes saw Roger Dream going for August's heart.
She sent her bat to help the old man, protecting him from the lethal strike. The time then continued to move, startling the old man for a mere second. He then thanked the vampiress and prepared the same old trick.
"Time paradox." The old man sighed, preparing to break the laws of their world.
Roger Dream shook his head. "You can try the same method. But I'm more than awakened. The world has entered a new era where divine powers grow faster and ampler than before! I can stop time for more and even have future visions! In that vision, I saw all of you dead! Go! Waste your precious mana!"
It was certainly odd to see that man boasting such confidence to the point where he even rebuked the alliance and tempted them to try that move.
While the alliance contemplated their next move, Roger Dream glanced in The Chaos Dragon's direction. That man fought against The Black Dragon.
The Human Emperor scoffed and shifted his eyes to Celes.
She was the main goal now. She had to be killed.
He silently wrapped his divine concept around his blade. And then, without making any grand move like he had been doing until now, Roger Dream silently sent his sword against her. In everyone's eyes, Roger Dream stood on guard. No one saw his sword leaving his hand.
That was naturally because of his shrewd time control.
Celes also failed to see it until it appeared before her heart. She promptly lunged to the side, not letting the sword take out her heart. She wasn't that fast, though, and the weapon scratched her arm.
Looking at her wound, Celes grimaced and narrowed her eyes, for it was quite a serious laceration.
And then, unexpectedly, Roger Dream stood before Celes. Louise was just in nick time to stop him from extending his hand for Celes' throat. Her burning hand sent a powerful wave of flames, forcing the man to take a few steps back.
"When I'm this close to you, the time control does not affect me." Louise rattled off before taking another battle stance to face The Human Emperor.
"Good." Celes nodded. "And thanks."
"No problem." Louise smirked.
Another wave of attacks befell The Human Emperor, then. However, despite his low level, he was even stronger than before, easily repelling them all. He used his time control in dire situations, but the alliance couldn't force many of these to begin with.
Moreover, The Chaos Dragon was slowly winning against The Black Dragon.

"You schemed to kill your brother through The Nine-Tailed Star's powers. Have you always been this manipulative, Blackly?" The Chaos Dragon sneered as he saw that his opponent was on the verge of dying.
The Black Dragon lacked scales despite being in a human form. Worse, he no longer had wings and a tail. His control over Tsuyukomi was also waning, so his whole scheme slowly started falling into pieces.
He was worse than ever before.
He looked up and scoffed. "Without the chaos element, what are you? A complete nobody."
"And this nobody controls the dragons and will kill you." The Chaos Dragon licked his lips and darted in The Black Dragon's direction with his hands stretched out.
Coating those in his element, he pierced through The Black Dragon's defenses, then tore his body into pieces.
His laughter reverberated throughout the whole scene.
The Chaos Dragon leveled up significantly.
He no longer had any wounds because of that blessing.
With his senses sharpened and lively again, he looked down.
An army of humans and other races fought in tandem against The Human Emperor's forces. Roger Dream faced the worst opponents and even The Nine-Tailed Star. But the black-haired woman was the star of that battle as she could read Roger Dream's time skill like a book.
She soon became that man's priority.
"Haha!" The Chaos Dragon grinned. "Kill him. Then I'll come for you."
He called all his forces to his side. Then, the dragons left behind all traitors and unworthy dragons behind, flapping their wings back to their realm.
In the near future, they would return to their lands and strip themselves from the shackles of the spirit world.
At least, that was what everyone was thinking.
"What?" The Chaos Dragon stepped into his spirit realm and widened his eyes.
That realm wasn't entirely under his control yet because strong races hid behind their lands shrouded in many protection charms and other land mass skills. In his eyes, it was just a matter of time before dragons conquered that realm.
But now that he entered his home, The Chaos Dragon found out that it was too dark.
Soon, the whole world trembled, and giant skeletons — whose forms were bigger than mountains — marched their way to The Dragon Temple!
"The Death Lord… How come he's so strong already?"
The Death Lord's voice swept through the whole realm. "You can wield that power because of me, the dragon. It seems like my good friend will soon fight against that human emperor kid, so I ought to deal with you, right?"
All dragons soon felt the embrace of death.
And no one survived, including The Chaos Dragon.
That concept simply ceased to exist, even in Leon's inventory, as he had some of it after his journey in the mini-world.
Life, Space, and now Chaos were simply gone.
And The Time's Death was just a matter of time before Celes' lost her limb.
How would Leon react to seeing his beloved without her arm?
