Chapter 360 – #3-22 Hardship, Hardship (6)
——It shouldn’t be like this,The body appeals.
My whole body is creaking here and there.
The pain inside the stomach was unbearable, and all the blood vessels leading to the brain seemed to be cut off, and one eyeball was stained bright red as if the blood vessel had burst.
Stopping time is never easy.
It’s an incredibly heavy burden.
Even if they put a short term between them, and even if two people take turns raising them, the burden that comes to the body is becoming something that cannot be ignored.
To be specific, at the moment, every time time is stopped, a few internal organs are eaten and blood vessels throughout the body are severed here and there.
Every time I have a chance, I barely turn back the time of my body to restore my body, but in order to save my mana, I only restore it to the minimum level that I can face in battle.
Even so, the mana is gradually depleting, revealing the bottom, and it will probably not be long before even this level of recovery becomes impossible.
Furthermore, even if the body recovers, the memories remain.
Memories of pain and suffering.
The experience of guts breaking, blood vessels bursting, lungs filling with water, or heart bursting half way.
It steadily accumulates in those memories, shaving off Ashe’s mental strength.
Completely, War of attrition).
Without being able to inflict any significant fatal wounds on his opponent, Rahe, only the two of them were cut down one by one.
Like hitting a rock with an egg.
The ending is as obvious as seeing fire.
Such a hopeless battle, a battle that seemed foolish to anyone.
So it goes on and on
* * *
Indeed, 10 minutes had passed.
How many times have you stopped time and solved it over and over again… There was no way to know the exact time right now, and I couldn’t care about that now.
At some point, the two of them changed completely from their early days of trying to pressure Rahe with all their might.
Currently, the two Ashe have become a mode where one side barely survives dying even for one more moment, in order to prolong this battle even a little bit longer.
Now that their stamina, strength, magic, and mental power have been exhausted, the two can no longer freely launch an offensive.
Whoops!
Whoops!!
“Hey… !”
“Ugh… ?!”
And.
The magic of [Time Manipulation] That was barely able to unfold could not last even for 10 seconds and was broken.
The two of them were kicked by Rahe in the torso and waist, respectively, and flew away, rolling on the floor.
‘Hurry…’
‘You have to get up… !’
The thoughts of the two people who roll unsightly on the floor intersect.
The moment you show even the slightest gap, Rahe’s fierce attack attacks.
I can’t lie on the floor in peace and say I’m sick… !
“Nice… Ugh… !”
Like a newborn deer, it raises itself with trembling limbs.
The body is full of wounds here and there, and the blood flowing down where the two of them are is leaving traces.
My body was not working well here and there, and I couldn’t even stand upright properly.
You have to move.
Right away, Rahe will attack.
Thinking of that, he hurriedly whipped his body, but his exhausted body did not move as he wished.
I just want to give up everything and be comfortable…
‘Huh… ?’
But, oddly enough.
Rahe’s onslaught, as expected, did not come.
Puzzled, the future Ashe rolled one eye and looked at Rahe. As for the other eye, it seems that the taste has gone somewhere, and the field of view has become hazy and red, and it is in a state where it is unable to recognize objects properly.
“…”
Rahe, wearing a strange helmet, is still silent.
But at least, her swaying shoulders let her know that she was now breathing her breath inside the helmet.
There were no scars, but at least Rahe’s whole body was covered with sweat.
No matter how much Rahe was a cheat-level character, dealing with two captain-level people was not an easy task.
Of course, that’s to the extent of buying a very short time.
To neutralize Rahe with this amount of consumption is unbelievable.
The two of us have already stripped away almost everything, and there are only a handful of tools left to use…
“Hey, it’s your turn to ‘stop’ next… Is it possible me now?”
“Whoa… After… You can do it… Future me… But…”
I could guess what was to come after that.
A last resort, reserved for the end.
It is to say that now is not the right moment to use it.
After all, should I use it now?
If it was the last resort, ‘it’, it would be able to firmly bind Rahe.
However, this too, if Rahe starts to respond.
Then it really ends.
All plans go awry.
A method that can only be attempted once, and once destroyed, there is no way to go back.
With that in mind, future Ashe shook her head faintly.
“Yet… Let’s hold on a little longer… Just a little more…”
“… ? Hey future me Is something strange?”
Let the future Ashe encourage the current Ashe.
Noticing that strange feeling from her, Hyeon Ashe nodded at Rahe and said.
Following that chin gesture, future Ashe directed her gaze.
Then, he realized that Rahe’s head, along with the helmet, was looking beyond the two of them.
“…”
Where do you want to see
Wary of Rahe, future Ashe listened to her surroundings, which she hadn’t paid attention to until now.
Tak Tak Tak Tak, Do.
Difficult and heavy, but familiar footsteps are heard from a little far away.
The footsteps quickly drew closer, and the figure of the footsteps appeared behind Ashe.
“Omg… Heo-eok… It’s fucking high… After all, I should have just taken the elevator… ! There’s no one to write about in this situation anyway… !”
“Oh, no… Yo. This… ! That too… I don’t know what device it might be… Explosion in the secret room… Even if you did… ! Coke… !”
It was #13 who appeared panting and gasping for breath, and Apple, who looked equally tired as she supported #13 by the side.
Fortunately, the two did not encounter any obstacles other than the explosion in the middle, and just ran up the stairs with all their might and reached this place…
* * *
Top floor for VVIP.
For safety, there is only one passage except for the emergency passage, and Room 13, which climbed up the guest stairs, must also pass through this passage to reach the top floor.
And to think that he, who arrived a little later than Ashes, was watching the situation with bated breath.
Rahe, who stood still for a moment, immediately spewed death and began to stance, as if recognizing that the new arrival was an enemy.
The first to react to Rahe’s death was the two Ashe.
“Me! Now!”
“Okay, future me!”
With a command, the exhausted body that seemed about to collapse at any moment rushes towards Rahe.
Behind his back.
“Now, wait… ! Take a little rest… !”
No. 13 speaks in a pitiful voice and follows while panting.
There was no need to explain or discuss the situation separately.
I already assumed all sorts of situations before I started, and planned the strategy accordingly.
There were so many uneasy and unpredictable elements, but everything was within the expected range.
So, what’s left.
All you have to do is to faithfully fulfill your role according to the plan you made in advance… !
“No. 13, I’ll leave the rest to you!【God of time. Chain. Yeonhwan. The ring of time.]”
“[Knossos, the god of time, the god of time, the god of time itself, I pray now]!”
Future Ashe, who runs while encouraging No. 13, recites an incantation.
It’s different from what we’ve seen so far.
It’s different from the magic I’ve used so far.
Was it because Rahe recognized that fact?
The murder and caution that flew in as if aiming for No. 13 are headed for the future Ashe, who shouts the words of the chant high.
Blah blah blah blah!!
The flower of ice that blooms in the hallway is the Ice Snow Flower.
It rapidly expanded its scope to fill the corridors at once and cover and freeze the future Ashe.
Just before reaching the future Ashe, the ice shrunk and disappeared as if it was suddenly pushed backwards.
“【Go back】!”
Woo woo woo… !
This is the current Ashe’s ability.
By whipping his body and mind, which had already reached their limit, with time manipulation magic, Rahe’s magic was made ‘non-existent’ again.
Did Rahe know that it would happen?
At the same time that the ice blocking the vision returned and disappeared, Rahe was already moving and running toward the two at once.
The tip of that white sword pointed at the future Ashe.
At this rate, there is no way for future Ashe to avoid that attack.
However, just before the sword touches.
“【Accelerate]”
“【Acceleration】”
“[Gasooooo]!!!”
All at once, three times.
The current Ashe casts the magic of acceleration again on that creaking body.
The magic that makes all the laws of physics apply about twice as fast, three times in a row.
The body, which had sped up a total of 8 times, self-destructed, causing all internal organs to burst and blood to spurt out from all over the body.
However.
Aww… !!
“…”
“I got it, everything… You bastard… !”
However, by doing that, by doing that, barely.
The current body of Ashe, who had accelerated, blew the sword away from Rahe’s hand, and grabbed both of them and restrained them.
Clearly, Rahe’s body stood still for a moment.
There would be no way to beat Rahe, who had strengthened his body with magic, with simple strength.
However, only the local area he held with his hand stopped time, and he managed to stop Rahe.
In that state, the present Ashe laughed boldly.
As if the recoil of the magic that had accumulated over and over again took its apex, her lips were torn apart and blood gushed out.
Tears of blood flowed from her tightly closed eyes. Perhaps the eye was completely ruined.
Blood is flowing from both ears. The eardrum was blown away.
The semicircular canal is also completely damaged, and the head is spinning.
Of course, the state of the intestines is also not a word.
However, she took that pain into account and even risked everything.
Hyun Ashe was grinning.
A miserable and tattered figure that wouldn’t be strange even if he died right now… But she smiles contentedly.
Wow!
“【——That’s right, Please, lend me your strength here.]”
And, with those two people in front.
At most, an instant of time, with the two people standing still in front of them.
The future Ashe, who had come close to her, put her hands together as if putting her palms together and put her last chant into her mouth.
“【■■■■■■】!”
The words of the yeongchang end with that.
With those last words.
As if to reciprocate the chant, an accident happens all at once as if it surrounds both Ashe and Rahe.
Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo –—
Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo ung… !!
From the three people who were close by, the light and wind of magical power unfolded and spread out.
In the light that seemed to have changed to another world only there, a number of rings of light surrounded the three people.
“Ha… Good job, me at this time.”
“I’ll leave the rest to you… Young Westerner.”
Surrounded by those rings, the future Ashe looks behind her with a lot of emotion in her eyes.
The rings that surrounded the surroundings, spinning round and round, converged toward the center as if compressed at once.
Together with him, the three disappeared on the spot as if they were being sucked into the center.
With the two disappearing, the magical light that spread in this space also disappeared.
The appearances of the hero captains who had been fighting blood spattered a while ago no longer remain.
The corridors and stairs where the gatekeepers guarded them disappeared.
No. 13 and Apple run past it, staggering as if they can’t delay at all…
