Chapter 4: Chapter 4: The Subtlety of Time
Altercation of time... in any way possible was considered as one of the most difficult feats that you can achieve in terms of being a mage that represents the all-glorified power known as Magic, and it's a well-known fact time for the these people, that Time, is one of the most, if not the most powerful magic in this whole wide damn universe.
Anything that respects and relates something
that connects itself to time such as; slowing it down for brief seconds to overpower your enemy, acceleration of it to evade or attack something and many more techniques connected to it is considered a great achievement for the mages that specialized in the Magic of Time at the highest level.
Time magic is almost a forbidden magic at that, where the caster can influence one of the most complex things to affect, or in the sayings of the Mages of Time, a near-impossible magic to master, The Domain of Time.
A well-known territory of a God, a being who transcends their limitations and manages to ascend at the best of times.
These Gods have their own domain where they specialize in, and they manage these aspects of where through their own power where Onyx, is known as the God of Time, and the one who manages the time spectrum of this universe.
Only the Chancellor of Mages of Time, Alessandra of the Chrollo World, managed to affect time, even if it's just for a few minutes when I saw her use it to fight and by using different techniques such as; slowing the time down, accelerating it for her own benefit and many more of such techniques that applies the use of time, she also used it she almost suffered from a fatal attack of these grotesque monsters that we were fighting earlier.
However, due to the breakage of our formation, we can't regroup in time and we are forced to fight the sheer humongous numbers of monsters in all of our sides. It's a desperate battle that we have and through these monsters we have to deal with, we are left with a battle with no room to breathe or rest, due to the large amount of enemies we have to deal with.
She was one of our damage dealers in our backlines aside from that midget who's known as the Lord of the Witches, and they deal a lot of damage to our enemies, especially towards any directions that countless amounts of enemies group with, where they blast it with their power leading to those monsters being torn apart.
But as one of the vanguards faltered, these chaos monsters managed to breakthrough in our broken formation, leading to the separation of the group on all sides and we have to fight with just ourselves.
And despite all of the power that she showed with the use of the Domain of Time, she too, also tragically died with nothing left behind, as she was eaten greedily by those jelly-like goo creatures inside its body, melting her wholebeing all throughoutly without living any bit of pieces of herself.
... It's a cruel fate for the one known as the One of the Strongest Mages of this Universe...
However, there's one question that always comes to my mind-- these once known almighty Gods who were worshipped by many dominions, and all around the universe were suddenly missing in action for some unknown fucking reason, it's as if they disappeared to the end of reality.
They didn't help us in any of our present and past predicaments especially in the Universal- Corruption War, a war where all of the races formed an alliance, the Unified Races.
And when the universe is at its stake, and it's a do or die battle that will kill all of the people of every race in the universe if we lost the war, they didn't even fucking appear nor we never felt their shitty presence.
The Unified Races was an alliance of many different races regardless of their own reason, opened up in their eyes in enlightenment that they can't deal with these Chaos monsters themselves all alone, and so. The Unified Races Alliance was formed, and it consists of these races; Humans, Elves, Dwarfs, Orcs, Mages of Time, Alernum, Dark Elves, Witches, Hybrids, Cyborgs, Homoculus and many more species of races that want to survive in damn universe.
And they valiantly fought the endless chaos monsters from all sides of the universe with just one goal, to survive, in their fortified base known as, The Last Bastion of Universe, a base built by the dwarfs and many races with building power with the hopes of a victory of the Unified Alliance against the Chaos.
On the other hand, these chaos monsters were born in the Abyss of Chaos, located in Dark Side of the Universe. Although it's unknown where this Dark Side of Universe was, due to the Akashic Record. It defined where these monstrosities were born from and multiplied to themselves.
But some of the monsters from chaos were born from the corpse of those different races who fell in the war, due to exposure of the Chaos' corruption.
That's why some of the naive races believe that it's still their own dear people, and they tried to save them, but all of those thoughts became nothing when they were overrun by the monsters that they once believe in, causing the extinction of their own race eternally in the universe itself.
As I remember these thoughts after noticing the subtle slowness of time.
I deeply gazed at this immensely powerful shadowy figure, to see if he's noticing something strange between us.
When suddenly...
His wide evil smirk, written all over his face earlier when he was mocking me and talked at me with an enormous expression of joy filled with amusement due to my helplessness and despair, suddenly changed for an unknown reason.
And a really pissed one with deep hatred written all over his face suddenly emerged as he said, "You're g-going to mess... with me, right, right, righhtttttt now?", he said angrily at something that I can't see or know of where he's talking to.
"D-Dont you dare, you s-son of b-bitches!", A loud sound of shrieking and undistinguishable sound immediately flowed in my ears as he
talked in an unknown language unbeknownst to me, while looking up into the dark gloomy sky.
It was fucking unbearable, as I suddenly felt the immediate pain in the side of my ear, and it rang all over in my fucking ear.
...Shit, It hurts...
As if this shrieking of sounds was so godly, that my lowly self didn't deserve to hear this language.
When I put my right hand on my ear, I immediately noticed a trail of blood in my hands, signifying that it's bleeding hard due to this sounds as if it's broken due to the otherworldly sounds this damn monster makes.
And lastly, he sounded like he was extremely angered too, due to the immense hatred that he showed in his expression, for something or someone that he hates.
He looked up to the dark sky talking with that unknown language even to mine, as if there was something there, or someone that he's really immensely pissed off.
While he was talking to the sky like a maniac in distress, this tiny and subtle slowness of time comforts me in approaching dawn of my life.
Noticing this subtlety, I immediately know that it's not just coincidence and there's something deep within this feeling of mine.
This slowness... as if there was someone, intricately messing with it... internationally making me notice this changes of time that even affects change in my surroundings.
As I heard something, a strange voice that comes from my head, a robotic voice said...
