As the sound echoed, everything began to morph and change in a grotesque way, the sky began to glitch some part turning pitch black, and all actions done seemed to pause, Adam cannot move yet his mind does.
What the heck is happening...
I can no longer sense the flow of mana or the vectors of moving objects...
It's a complete halt of motion..
Who did this?.
Adam can't help but wonder. 'what the f*ck is this world even about.'
He felt lost, a bit flustered but not scared, of course he didn't know why, he is eerily calm.
But then as he focused his eyes more clearly, he saw something shocking.
Leon was able to move, Leon now fully covered in pitch black void, as his form began to morph into a terrifying 'seraphim'
A form of unexplained, alien, unrecognizable horror, being covered with six large wings, the whole body layered of eyes filled with unknown emotions.
Adam was shocked.'what the hell am I witnessing.. is Leon?.'
The seraphic form of Leon began to speak, a voice of divine authority.
"Again."
•[The fate of this world has seen through your actions.]
•[The fate of this world, does not allow such a thing to happen]
•[The beloved child of fate starts a new.]
A flash broke through the silence, everything began to crack, destroyed and then rebuilt, I can no longer see anything because there is no longer anything, but I can still think, it was presisely because of my ability.
[Time speed, 0.00.1]of the original speed.
Now I realized I've been in this state of thinking for an unknown amount of time.'if I shut my ability down will the world be rebuilt?, will I be the same?.'
It's all a gamble.
I cannot trust this thing.
But there is nothing I can do.
So be it.
[Time speed, 1.0]of the original speed.
The flash of light continued after I turned off my ability, so as for what happened I have no fucking clue, it just happened.
Waking up, I was standing face to face with Leon.
Time returns before our fight, looking closer I realized I was the only one who just witnessed that thing.'so this is what you want.'
As I began to raised one of my arm, taking a sigh before shouting out loud.
"I forfeit!."
[Adam helmwich eliminated, please proceed into the lower bracket for a chance to climb the rankings.]
I began to turn my head away from Leon walking the opposite direction, as I was then again teleported into the hall where I was previously in.
[Wait for 49 seconds for your next opponent.]
Oh, so if I lose once it doesn't mean I get completely eliminated.
And If I get defeated once in the lower bracket I will be eliminated.
I don't really get it, and I don't really care.
A few minutes of waiting later.
[The opponent has been selected, please prepare.]
I was again teleported into a similar arena, this time I stood face to face with a young man with dark hair, he was well built, tall I can feel that from the fluctuations of his aura that he's also at the peak level of 'expert-level knight' but what startled me most is that eyes of his, dark red eyes piercing almost somewhat a glare to scare me, perhaps I was a bit scared.
Meanwhile the red eyed young man seemed tense, as he is visibly shaken by Adam's stature and sheer aura, inside of his mind.'holy crap my senses are telling me to run away from this dude, what the fk even is this level of power.' but I must absolutely have to reach the top 10, if not then it would be the end of us.
The mechanical voice rang.[match start!]
In a swift of motion the red eyed young man conjured an aura blade, about the size of a great sword rushing towards Adam in extreme speed.
Adam frowned, slightly raising his arms blocking the attack.'so it could be used this way too.'
If I used layers and layers of tiny microscopic slabs of mana it could block things this easily, copying the composition of bulletproof armor.
The red eyed young man was shocked, still clutching his sword forcing more power trying to break Adam's defense 'arms' yet it didn't work, nothing seemed to work.
The red eyed young man, veins bulging, as he puts on his absolute effort.'what the fuck.' he screamed.
Adam still standing frozen, like an insurmountable wall, unbreakable, spoke in a deep relaxed voice. "Nice try, but it's not possible." As Adam began to raise his other hand inveloping it with mana, and with a quick jab aiming for the head, the red eyed young man fell unconscious.
Adam still standing, a few seconds of waiting his victory was yet to be announced, then a reddish malicious aura arosed from the red eyed young man's body, as his whole body began to flinch and after that he stood up like nothing ever happened.
Outside of the arena the mysterious hooded young man seemed excited.
He whispered."holy shit." I need to check.
