too easy? Is this man an exterminator? So should I kill this man? Right Now? Should I kill this man, who has not yet been convicted of anything, for my comfort?

All the worries in my head. The troubles that each of them were talking loudly fell silent within a few seconds.

A shiny blade. The troubles that had been howling loudly faced the threat in front of them, and left their place in reason and instinct. As soon as he realized that I was a worshiper of an evil god, the man in front of me swung the sword in the scabbard without questioning and answering.

Tilt your chin. Fortunately, the man’s physical ability was within the range I expected. A bit slower than me who didn’t even use the Corruption Door. And then.

Time started to pass by itself. My body slows down and my sword blade speeds up.

Bright red blood splattered. Sharp screams came from behind. The blade slashed through the bone deep in my jaw, leaving deep scars that reached my eyes. Because one eyeball was completely crushed, the sense of distance collapsed.

blood and flesh. Time came back as things that belonged exclusively to me poured out. My body, which had been slowing down, returned to its normal state and finally stepped back.

“Haha.”

excruciating pain. Fortunately, what the man cast his authority on was the space he and I were in. The cleft jaw and crushed eyeballs began to regenerate quickly.

“How dare you call Priest Marnak!!! You son of a bitch!!!”

Along with Dakia’s angry voice, a clear thunderbolt ignited the air and attacked the man. But this time, the result was the same.

The lightning that couldn’t be slowed down. In the distorted time, the man ran straight towards me. He’s still not fully recovered from his injuries.

In the man’s left hand was a thin, long iron skewer that he had taken out before he knew it.

I have to block it. I have to block it. slaughterer. I had to get the butcher out.

The bracelet on his right arm cracked and a butcher full of saw blades emerged. no it pops out infinitely slow.

hooked

When the butcher revealed himself, the long iron skewer had already stabbed me in the heart.

Along with the pierced heart, the mind went dark.

***

Boom!

A shock that echoes to the bone. My beaten body rolled across the floor and landed on the floor.

– This asshole is real!!! and!!! Are you giving it all away? huh? Actually, you just want to die because it’s all annoying, right? huh? right?

When I finally calmed down my shaky goal and opened my eyes, I was on top of the hill I had visited before. Unlike the last time, there was no clash of forces at the bottom of the hill. There was only Impero, a being who could only come out and wrap his body in armor.

He screamed at me with a dark green naturalization.

– In the first place, the child just appeared, giving off an atmosphere of ‘I’m very suspicious and would not hesitate to use force’, but he didn’t know what skills he had and went into the gap? I thought you were really stupid, but you were so stupid that I felt sorry for the word stupid! this!

To be honest, I was right about this case, but I couldn’t help but feel a sense of repulsion after hearing the outpouring of scolding. Why did I feel a little younger just by standing in front of Impetro?

I spat out the excuse I had barely squeezed out.

“I thought I could handle it.”

– under! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! handle? Gaaaaaam party?

After bursting into laughter, he laughed for a long time before reaching out his finger and stabbing me in the chest.

– You bastard, you know you’re getting a hole in your heart right now, right? Do you describe having a hole in your heart as ‘bearing’ these days? huh? He bought it because he didn’t know exactly about your body in the first place, so he deliberately didn’t put divinity into the weapon. If he put even a handful of divinity on a skewer right now, you’d just be dead right here!!! You climber!!!

I flicked the finger that kept poking at my chest and glared at Impetro.

“Then what the hell was I supposed to do?”

– Wow! You are this baby! Are you blindfolded now? this to me?

The old armor was distorted and drew a grotesque smile. He chuckled.

-If you are a cancer baby, you have to have that much. By the way…

Pak!!!

My body, hit in the jaw, flew through the air and landed on the floor again. It hurt. It really hurt so bad. I barely managed to hold back my tears and got up quickly from my seat.

“What! Why are you hitting me!”

Impetro clenched his fists and replied lightly.

– It’s good to have a temper, but when you show your teeth, you have to cover the situation and opponent. the color you have. Of course I don’t have one, right? huh? Do you think I called you here to give you some comfort? receive.

He pulled out a single unadorned sword from the air and threw it at me. As I accepted the flying sword, Impetro held the same type of weapon as the man who attacked me in both hands.

A weapon resembling an iron skewer in the left hand, and an ordinary longsword in the other hand.

Impetro snapped an iron skewer and spoke out.

– The guy you ran into is a priest who worships the ‘wrong clock’. The authority they use is very simple. ‘Slow down’ and ‘Accelerate’.

When he let go of the iron skewer, the fall of the iron skewer slowed down with a shimmering divinity. The iron skewer was nailed into the air in a near-stop state.

“… what the hell did you do?”

– Because this isn’t real. I can imitate it. It’s not that great.

He picked up the iron skewer again and swung it like a baton and went on.

– The opponent slows down, and I speed up. They are just well-trained human beings except for authority, but the authority itself is very annoying. Going into close combat, especially with them, isn’t a very wise decision.

“Then how should I deal with it?”

– Opponent… Hmmm…

Low chanting. At the same time as the chanting, ferocious flames covered the endless land. He looked at the flames and smiled. Yeah, I forgot for a moment, but Impetro was also a wizard.

– If you’re like me, you’ll just blow the whole thing away. Since it’s a powerful authority in the first place, I can’t even use it for that long. That’s why I blow it all up so that it can’t be avoided.

“… within the scope of what I can, please.”

– Is that sorceress girl you’re wearing just a decoration? If you can’t do it, just run to that silver-haired girl and ask her to blow her up. Seeing that, if you calmed down just a little bit, I would give you all of my liver and gallbladder. hey. You are this baby. Surely you are not a eunuch? huh? If you were like me…

He stopped talking at ‘if you were like me’ and let out a long sigh.

– Cancel this. Just pretend you didn’t hear.

I suddenly thought that if I dug into this fact, I might be able to catch Impetro’s weak spot, which wouldn’t bleed even if stabbed.

“What is it? suddenly? No way…”

– Shut up. don’t tell me If you don’t want to get very muksabal.

But my mouth was wide open after I had already spoken.

“You can’t believe you lived alone until you died…”

Degururu.

Iron skewers and swords tumbled across the floor. He sat down on a rock of unknown origin and turned his back on me.

– I will not. i don’t do it

“Are you mad?”

– Oh yes, I got pissed off. I, who was crooked because I lived alone all my life, am very firmly crooked!!! So I won’t care about you! I wouldn’t care if you go back and have your heart pierced or your head blown off or if you’re miserably caught that way and end up in very minced pieces of meat!!!

He seemed to be grieved for having lived alone all his life and died. I quickly walked up behind him and patted him on the back.

“If you have a pair of straw sandals, you will definitely be able to meet your match in heaven someday.”

– You’re telling a guy who’s already dead that you think that’s really possible? huh? Now that I see this, is it really crazy?

He was right. His life was already over, and there was no way he could change his life that had come to an end. Suddenly, an idea came to my mind.

“If the authority of ‘Wrong Clock’ is related to time, can it also turn back time?”

– Will that work? To turn back ‘time’ is to break the ‘causation’ accumulated over time. Do you know what this means?

“I don’t know, so you didn’t ask?”

He turned around and looked into my eyes. From what I judged, he was enjoying the conversation with me very much. He never kicked me out of this space unilaterally, no matter how arrogant I said or exposed his weaknesses.

– You have to move forward with time. Because causation is an endless accumulation. To turn back time, no matter how small it is, requires ‘power’ that can break down all causes and effects piled up within it. It grows exponentially with the amount of cause and effect that must be destroyed. No matter how many gods they are, it is said that it is close to impossible to destroy the cause and effect accumulated over a long period of time.

“Nearly impossible doesn’t mean completely impossible. For example, if there is a being with infinite power enough to handle cause and effect.”

– Yes, you son of a bitch!!! A being with infinite power might be able to defy time! However, no god has been able to reach ‘infinite’. And if you had infinite power in the first place, there’s no need to turn back time. You can create the world you want right now!

He jumped up and picked up the sword and iron skewer that he had dropped on the floor.

“Has your anger gone?”

– I’ve never asked for understanding from you guys who have a lot of women around them! You lucky son of a bitch! Raise the sword!

When he raised the iron skewer, the atmosphere changed completely.

Posture Movement Light toe to toe. The Impetro gave off the air of a man who had just pierced my chest.

“Are you following me?”

– If you see it with your own two eyes, shouldn’t you be able to follow it?

He spat out extremely unlucky words and looked straight at me.

– Listen carefully. I’m going to teach you how to engage in close combat with the ‘misaligned seconds’ who worship this broken clock. ‘Authority’ is the distortion of the laws of the world by the ‘divine’ bestowed by God. What you’re going to do from now on is to hinder the manifestation of that authority as much as possible.

“How do you mean?”

– The method is very simple. It scatters meaningless divinity around you and surrounds you all around you. It’s an impossible method for the other priests, but ‘we’ can. Because our sons of corruption don’t exist more than one in one era. If you learn this method, you should at least be able to ignore the authority of most priests, only for your body. Of course, it’s an extremely inefficient method, so even you and I won’t be able to use it for long. Next time you see something like that, ask the wizard lady to blow it up.

I knew very well how. But there was another problem.

“How do I scatter that divinity?”

– That’s what you’ll have to do from now on.

As he finished speaking, time slowed down. In the infinitely slow time, only the iron skewer in Impetro’s hand moved freely.

Dark green natural flowers rippled, and his helmet drew a distorted smile.

– By dying until it’s done.

penetrated. No, just before the piercing. That’s when the long skewer began to ravenously tear through the flesh. Divinity that flowed out explosively scattered the authority. When the misaligned hands returned to their proper places, Marnak kicked the man in the side with an unstoppable kick.

puck!!!

An unexpected blow. The man, who could not even imagine that his authority would be broken, allowed the attack as it was to the empty side. He flew through the air and landed on the floor.

“Kuk.”

Marnak let out a groan and swallowed the tears of emotion that flowed without his knowledge when he saw the man who couldn’t get up easily.

how many. I don’t know how many times I’ve died for this one shot. Because I gave up counting from the middle. Besides, what really bothered me was not death, but Impetro’s mouth, who was constantly talking and belittling me.

“Priest Marnak!”

‘killing!!!’

– Are you all right!

Colleagues approaching. Imperto gave one last request to Marnak, who had finally completed the technique.

– When you go back, just act like you did it very easily. Originally, the swan on the lake is aloof because it does not reveal its feet. At times like this or when will you pretend to be proud again? right?

Following his teachings, Marnak simply smiled and told his companions.

“It was nothing. First of all, let’s tie him up. He’ll have something to hear from him too.”
