Chapter 443 Time And Space

"What is happening?!" One of the many Originals who had joined the City Brawl shouted out in confusion.

His eyes widened in shock as he saw the huge hawk manifested out of bolts of lightning flap its mighty wings.

It crashed down on the ground, exactly where the invisible Heligav holding the Swirl of Chaos was located.

Blood erupted in a fountain that spurted through the surrounding area. It splattered on the invisible Heligav, whose outlines were unveiled due to the blood that drenched its body.

"He wants to kill him!" Another aboriginal shouted when he sensed the killing intent of the black being that was hovering in the air.

Nial was the black being in question and he looked down at the destruction he had caused with a satisfied smile while telling Ryu to dive downward.

Silver rays emerged from the Little Oracle as she formed a small hourglass with it. By the time they reached the surface, the hourglass was filled with silver grains of sand, 300 in total.

Each grain of sand was extremely precious because it was equivalent to one more second the little Oracle was trying to secure him in the upcoming battle against the injured Keltia ranked Heligav.

"I'm ready!" The Oracle squealed out the moment Ryu burst into the alley everyone was focusing on.

"Then go for it, little one!" Nial shouted out as he released a sudden burst of his black miasma.

His Curse had accumulated a tremendous amount of miasma and power in the last few months. Thus, the moment he unleashed [Hodur's Heir] black miasma filled the entire alley.

For several seconds, nobody was able to see anything. At the same time, it became much harder for the Originals that were caught inside the black miasma to sense anything around them.

Their senses were drastically affected by the highly potent black fog, preventing them from perceiving the slightest bit about the Swirl of Chaos' whereabouts.

Several seconds passed in which the Originals within the alleys used their elemental powers and martial art techniques to disperse the black fog.

However, what was unveiled to them when the fog cleared left them shell-shocked.

"Dead... is he dead?" The Valxian who had been the closest to the invisible Heligav blurted out in doubt as he looked at the bloody mass that had once been one of the strongest Heligav in Alliance City.

"Where is the Swirl of Chaos ability crystal??" Another Original asked while spreading out his mana trying to find traces of the Chaos' whereabouts.

But there was nothing. The last traces of Chaos were already...a minute old...

"Huh? What the hell..." The Original blurted out, confused at the nonsense his mana perceived.

Yet, upon looking around, he could clearly tell that the others were feeling the same...that the last trace of Chaos belonging to the Swirl of Chaos disappeared a minute ago, even though everyone had been able to sense and even see traces of the Swirl of Chaos before the black miasma had shrouded the entire alley.

"There is a note..." the Valxian said all of a sudden and he picked up the mutilated body of the Heligav from the ground, removing a blood-soaked piece of leather.

[I took what belongs to me. Don't waste your time searching for the Swirl of Chaos anymore!]

The message was written in the universal language and the content told them what they had been wanting to figure out.

However, what seemed to have happened didn't make any sense.

"How is it possible for someone to kill the Heligav in a matter of seconds, without letting anyone even notice their arrival? The Heligav was at the Keltia rank and he had been turned into a mashed pulp of meat...just like that.

It shouldn't be possible for something like that to happen...there are no beings at a higher rank than the Keltia rank on Jundra...not yet, at least," The Valxian and many others were utterly dumbfounded but there was no answer to their endless doubts.

After all, they had no idea that Nial had not fought the Keltia ranked Heligav for only a few seconds but for a whole five minutes...just in a different plane where time and space had been distorted!

When Ryu had been less than five meters away from the invisible Heligav, the little Oracle had unleashed the power within the Hourglass.

It burst open and released the 300 silver grains of sand. The grains of sand released silver threads that connected with one another before they spread out, forming a big cocoon around Dilan, Ryu, the little Oracle, and the blood-smeared Heligav.

Time and space were distorted as the isolated area formed around them.

One minute in the white, empty space turned out to be one second in reality.

But that was only something Nial noticed much later when the battle against the Keltia Heligav had concluded, giving victory to Nial and his allies.

"Little Oracle, you are the best. I didn't think tha-...." Nial said with a glint of excitement when the little Oracle interrupted.

"You didn't believe that I could do it?!?" She shot him an indignant look before she issued a 'hmpf' while flicking her hair backward, "I gave my best!"

Nial patted her head in amusement before he got down from Ryu's back.

He took a deep breath and turned in the direction of the Keltia Heligav, who simply looked around in all directions to figure out what was going on.

The Heligav was holding his injured shoulder to try to stop his blood loss and subsequent defeat. Nial's attack had inflicted a deep wound into the Jeligav's shoulder, injuring him severely when he had least expected it.

"You didn't expect something like that to happen, did you?" Nial asked lightly. He was ready to give the Heligav a last chance to survive, even though he loathed their race.

It was his way of showing that he acknowledged the wealth and determination of the Heligavs to procure the Swirl of Chaos ability crystal.

"You? Who are you?!?" The Heligav growled while terminating his invisibility state.

It was a waste to maintain the invisibility cover as he was bleeding severely, either way.

"I am just a tiny Original who is after the Swirl of Chaos. Give me the ability crystal and you will be spared," Nial informed the Heligav calmly.

"Hahaha, do you really think that a crippled monster, a tiny girl, and you, an Original at the Mid Prometheus rank will be enough to kill me? You were just lucky that you took me by surprise with your earlier attack!" The Heligav roared, but Nial couldn't care less.

"I guess that's a no," He simply responded. The Heligav began to laugh again, but upon seeing Nial's ice-cold expression along with a black grimace that gave him an eerie look, his attitude changed.

"Scram, Bastard!" The Heligav shouted as two large battle axes manifested in his hands.

He charged forward in rage, determined to eradicate the threat in front of him.

"Yep, that's definitely a no," Nial chuckled, while his black skin began to move. His entire body seemed to transform as a humongous being emerged out of him.

Holding a huge mace, Tyrant emerged from within Nial, taking the charging Heligav by surprise.

The Tyrant of Destruction used his humongous force to smash the mace sideways on the surprised Heligav's face.

His attack landed cleanly on the Heligav, whose head jerked backward.

Blood, a chunk of flesh, and teeth spurted through the surrounding, and a devilish smile formed on Tyrant's face.

Excitement swept through the body of the Tyrant of Destruction and his smile kept getting wider as more blood splattered in his face. The scent of blood made him feel ecstatic, and his movements accelerated as he yearned for more blood.

Tyrant pulled the mace backward and he initiated another attack to deliver a killing blow.

However, the mace stopped merely a millimeter above the Heligav's head, brushing against his hair.

"This only works once, you fucking bastard!" The Heligav roared out, as he brought down his free battle-axe down to split up Tyrant.

But the Tyrant smiled wickedly and it was no sooner that dozens of needles manifested out of darkness pierced through the Heligav's body.

The needles dug deep inside the arm of the Heligav, making blood gush out yet again.

"Fortunately, we don't repeat the same tactic over and over again!" Nial gave him a sassy comeback as four arms shot toward the side.

Two arms created out of dark energy manifested from Kaeldur's body, along with his own two arms that were shrouded in dark hide and the Essence of darkness, created several balls of compressed dark energy in their palms.

He threw the balls of darkness toward the Heligav, ignoring Tyrant, who obstructed his way.

However, that was no problem as the balls of darkness passed through Tyrant just like the needles of darkness before they unleashed their true prowess upon impacting on the Heligav.

"Fuck yeah!!"
