Chapter 168

The strongest thought that the match between the iron man and the interrupter would be decided soon. That’s how strong the ability he’s shown so far.

So, as always, the iron man had no doubt that he would win.

However, the reality in front of them was different.

“… What happened?”

“Aren’t you an accelerator?”

Pyo Ji-hun and Hwang Ye-ri could not hide their embarrassment. Didn’t the appearance of not only the suddenly appeared villain but also the iron man become blurred?

It’s like moving at high speed. However, there was no reason for that villain to grant haste to the enemy.

“no way… Are you adjusting the time, not the speed?!”

The first to realize the truth was Johanna. She set out to verify at the same time as judging. Dozens of ice awls poured from the completed magic circle flew in.

However, the figure of the villain, Rex, was blurred and the ice pick disappeared into the air.

“That… Did you avoid all of them?”

“Even this is amazing… !”

The eyes of the other two opened wide, but Johanna’s narrowed even more.

‘It’s not about adjusting the speed either.’

she could feel

The ice pick was a creature of her magic, and rightly under her control. This allowed her to handle both speed and trajectory.

However, the moment the awl got close to Rex, it ‘penetrated’ the target without any time to do anything.

It was because the speed at which the awl flew faster than the speed of her thoughts.

“This is difficult… There is no way to help from this side.”

No matter how much Yohanna was, she didn’t know the magic of managing time. And it wasn’t even like that.

“Pet, Pete has appeared!”

“He has Sanity… !”

Everyone turned their heads at the sound of a scream. It was the sound that came from the side where the deadly poison to kill the pale moon, Sanity, was piled up.

“this… !”

“Was it a bucket!?”

The faces of the three were crumpled.

Joo Tae-ji and Jung Joon-hyeok were absent as they were in charge of defense to prevent the followers of madness from coming towards the headquarters.

Since the three strongest men, Kang Tae-min, and iron man were at the headquarters, there was not much fighting force left in the headquarters itself.

A plan to thwart the plan by tying Iron Man’s feet and dealing with Sanity.

“Hurry!”

“No, what about that bitch?”

At Yohanna’s cry, Hwang Ye-ri looked back at Rex with a ferocious look.

“There is nothing we can do over there. Besides, it means nothing if Miss Sanity runs out!”

“It sucks, really!”

* * *

Taemin Kang frowned.

‘I can’t do it this way either.’

Forming alter egos, ranged attacks, binding using wires, filling the barrier area with metal formations, etc. I tried many methods, but all of them failed.

‘In front of that time multiplier, even metal can’t stand it.’

Kang Tae-min noticed her ability right away. It was also because the surrounding scenery flowed like a slow motion.

‘Everything turns to dust and disappears… .’

Strictly speaking, he was able to keep the metal body like new at all times with his ability to repair. However, it happened because the time Rex elapsed was overwhelming compared to the speed of the restoration.

‘But why… ?’

The reason why Kang Tae-min is left behind while the metal he made is turned into powder.

It was clearly a breakthrough.

‘I have no choice but to try.’

One method I haven’t tried yet. It was directly against Rex. I don’t know if his body will collapse like dust.

‘Pete is running amok. At this rate, everything will be in vain.’

I saw a portal formed in the slow-flowing scenery outside. I couldn’t afford to delay any longer.

Having made his decision, Kang Tae-min swung a rip-and-tear at Rex. The spinning saw blade pierced her, but she couldn’t feel anything.

What he cut out was her afterimage. The entity had switched places with him before he knew it and was reaching out to the pale moon.

I tried several more times after that.

‘… You just keep dodging.’

Rex did not choose a head-to-head fight. She was always focused on evading without attacking first.

It was like playing tag that never ends. However, not all efforts were in vain.

‘… Indeed, is it like that?’

Kang Tae-min remembered the blurry afterimages of each attempt. In his brain, he was able to observe her by overlaying afterimages as if calibrating the picture quality.

As a result.

‘When areas with different time and speed overlap each other, the ability is temporarily suspended.’

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Literally, in an instant.

It was a fact Kang Tae-min found out from Rex’s expression, which changed in an instant in the afterimage.

‘then… !’

At the same time as the judgment, a solution came to mind. Kang Tae-min did not attack Rex any more.

Sensing the abnormality, Rex rather raised his guard.

‘Are you giving up now? Or some other form of attack?’

He was not one to give up easily. Rex didn’t relax.

‘Any method is meaningless in front of time.’

Whatever Kang Tae-min made, even the toxin endowed with metal, returned to nothing in the face of time.

Strangely, however, Kang Tae-min did not take any action after that.

‘Did I really give up?’

Of course, there is a difference between Kang Tae-min’s time and hers. What he does in one second is seen by Rex over 10 minutes. But even taking that into account, something was strange.

You waited for a long time, but you didn’t budge at all?

‘for a moment… .’

Rex sensed something was wrong.

Suddenly, my stomach felt nauseous and I felt the taste of iron in my mouth, and saliva flowed. Then, a red rash formed on her white skin, and her breathing quickened.

‘… poison? But how?’

she staggered.

I felt itchy all over my body and vomited up. My hands trembled uncontrollably, and my vision was not clear.

“Keep it… .”

She vomited and breathed heavily. Every breath was accompanied by intense pain. But she couldn’t stay still.

“Ouch… !”

Taemin Kang was moving.

It was evident that he had noticed her condition. Just as 1 second of Kang Tae-min is 10 minutes to her, what she did in 10 minutes was conveyed to Tae-min Kang in 1 second.

‘I have to avoid it…’ !’

She forced herself to move away from her seat. However, in the process, I felt that my body was gradually breaking down.

Eventually, Rex collapsed, wheezing thinly. Kang Tae-min arrived in front of her as she collapsed.

“Now is the right time.”

She shuddered at the sound of a voice above her head. It wasn’t because I was afraid. Convulsions throughout the body did not stop.

‘I’m properly poisoned.’

Kang Tae-min looked at her condition and thought. It was proof that his response had worked.

‘Mercury vapor is colorless and odorless. The ability doesn’t work on things you don’t recognize.’

It was mercury vapor, not Venom Cainine, that poisoned her. It was because Rex might notice if the toxin was given.

Generally, mercury vapor is gradually poisoned through breathing, but Kang Tae-min accumulated the sprayed vapor around her with his ability and injected it at once.

As a result, Rex’s body was completely soaked in mercury beyond the level of acute mercury poisoning.

‘this… .’

Rex felt that his end was near. Still, I wasn’t worried.

Without hesitation, Kang Tae-min pointed the serrated sword at her head and fell.

‘Pete, I hope you succeed… .’

The first Sanity raid was bait.

Pete was looking for something else.

‘May Head be free.’

With a crackling sound, she died.

* * *

“Oh, that’s crazy!”

Hwang Ye-ri screamed.

The crossbow arrow she fired again flew toward Pete. However, the arrow that entered the opened portal eventually came out through the open portal in her blind spot.

“careful!”

Arrows ricocheted with sparks and arrows.

If it wasn’t for Pyo Ji-hun, who had read the results beforehand with déjà vu, it would have been herself who was hit by her arrow, not the enemy.

“This side is as tricky as this side.”

Johanna frowned. Not only Hwang Ye-ri’s attack, but her magic was also nullified by being eaten by the portal.

Of course, with perfect control, he didn’t make the mistake of attacking himself like Hwang Ye-ri, but it wasn’t a very pleasant situation.

“Damn it! If it wasn’t for Sanity, it would have ended with a rampage!”

Pete was holding a sit-in in a temporary warehouse where Sanity was stored. As a result, even the strongest were unable to fully demonstrate their abilities.

Wouldn’t it be a turn of events if he lost Sanity while dealing with Pete?

Meanwhile, Pete’s eyes rolled.

-The first step is to lure the strongest players. Next, it confuses Pyo Ji-hoon’s future poetry.

He remembered Rex’s orders. Now was the time to move on to the next step.

“for a moment… ! What is he aiming for!”

Along with Pyo Ji-hoon’s cry, he immediately opened the portal. Next, the place that appeared beyond the portal was in front of Gungnir.

– I know it’s hard. Take a look at the situation and do as much damage as possible.

Pete formed a portal in the middle of Gungnir. Although it was difficult to completely cut it out because of its enormous size.

“Uh, uh uh!”

“It collapses!”

“Harm!”

At least I could tilt it. Pete opened the portal again as he watched the tilting scene with a roar.

-That would have gotten your full attention. Then remove the original target.

Pete lost his soul after the clone’s death. The already reduced mana was almost exhausted.

However, I was still able to aim for one person’s neck.

– The final goal is…

Pete followed through with the plan.

After crossing the portal, we arrived at the inside of the headquarters building.

A man who recognized Pete opened his eyes wide.

“you… !”

In front of him was Bae Seung-ju.

-Take care of Director Bae Seung-ju.

Rex ordered Pete to assassinate Bae Seung-joo.

-The approaching Pale Moon, the loss of Sanity, the collapse of Gungnir, and the cessation of mental protection. This promotes mutation.

Madness feeds on despair.

Rex set up a strategy based on the information he heard from Man-wol. It was intended to destroy the necessary preparations for the plans of the strongest and break down the support.

Pitt opened a portal towards Bae Seung-ju’s neck with the remaining mana. With that, the plan was a success.

Obviously I had to

“be careful!”

There was a person who intruded into his eyes that did not close. He pushed the surprised Bae Seung-ju away and took his place.

It didn’t matter.

The portal that formed cut off his body in an instant. It was just a matter of aiming for the fallen Bae Seung-joo again.

But strangely, Pete felt that his portal was gone.

“Uh… !”

The opponent, who was obviously supposed to fall while spurting blood, was standing with his face wrinkled. His clothes were obviously cut off, but his body was intact.

The man who saved Bae Seung-ju was Lee Noah. The property of disappearing when superimposed on a restored body also applies to portals.

“enemy… !”

Following that, Pete’s body rattled along with the puncture. The javelin thrown by Ju Da-hyun was lodged in Pete’s abdomen.

Pete realized his plan had gone awry. Accordingly, he decided to temporarily retreat by opening a portal.

But even that was not enough.

“When you came in, you were free, but not when you left.”

Ju Da-hyun raised the corners of her mouth and said.

Along with that, a sword imbued with white mana split the portal. Standing behind the disappearing portal was Pyosuho.

“Isn’t it cowardly to just leave me out?”

While Pete hesitated, someone rushed from his side. However, unlike that momentum, the outstretched palm was as soft as the wind.

“If you do something to die, you die.”

With a cold voice, Go Min-soo concentrated his mana. It was a new skill that I trained with Jung Jun-hyeok.

The mana passed inside through the palms vibrated violently and shook the inside. Pete fell backwards, bleeding from his nose and mouth.

Pete, who trembled, slumped and slowly disappeared into powder.

“Chief, are you okay?”

“Ahhh… it’s okay.”

Bae Seung-ju stood up with Joo Da-hyun’s support and shook his head with a bewildered face.

Pete, who appeared suddenly, was also Pete, but the quick succession of the students was even more surprising.

“The situation outside is… !”

If Pete broke in, it means there’s a problem outside. Bae Seung-ju hurriedly headed toward the window.

“Is everyone all right?”

But there was an iron man outside the window.

Bae Seung-joo was startled again and took a step back.

I saw Gungnir leaning behind the iron man and regaining his shape. It was thanks to his immediate response as soon as he dealt with Rex.

The iron man sneakily looked inside and confirmed that he was safe, then looked at Bae Seung-ju and said.

“Time is tighter than expected.”

Pete’s sabotage was prevented, but the time accelerated by Rex could not be reversed.

“That word… .”

The iron man, Kang Tae-min, shook his head.

“Crush the pale moon.”

It was time to point the spear at God.
