Chapter 26 - What's The Lower Realm About? Your Time Sword Grows...Eric's POV

Just as I had predicted, that little boy would become a thorn in my side. I knew I had to eliminate him. Honestly, I never expected him to actually awaken an element—let alone one as rare as space.

Now the question is... how do I get rid of him?

Eric began to calculate. The Awakening Ceremony had just concluded, so he couldn't make a move on Kranos immediately. He would have to wait—wait for the perfect moment, when Kranos's father was away, when there would be no one around to protect him.

Wait... didn't he just awaken?

A sudden thought sparked in his mind.

I can use that to my advantage. He'll most likely attend the Royal Academy next year—or at most, the year after. That gives me time to set the stage. With that, Eric began plotting. Before he knew it, an entire year had passed.

Everything went according to plan. He spotted Kranos walking alongside Raphael. Eric followed them silently as they walked. He didn't have to worry about being discovered. his concealment skill was top-notch in the whole royal family, even surpassing most assassins.

After studying their movements and ensuring that Kranos was going to participate in this year's descent, Eric began his second phase of the plan. He went to where the guards were. After conducting a memory

As though the time sword could hear Kranos's voice, it seemed to faintly tremble as it appeared in his hand.

His body trembled slightly. Kranos quickly took out one of the healing pills his mother had given him. He had stored them in the system space, not his spatial ring—just in case the ring's inner space collapsed due to spatial distortion during travel.

The reason for his body's trembling was...

[Skill - Time Pause.]

[Rank 2.]

[Can forcefully stop time for two seconds. To be used in the late-stage time formation realm, forceful usage can cause injuries to the body with double the cost. Cost 100 time points.]

Because of the imminent threat, he had immediately connected his time foundation with the time surrounding them both and forcefully stopped it. This affected him greatly, as his body wasn't strong enough to withstand the forceful stoppage of time.

This is my first real fight to the death. I wonder how it will be, Kranos was curious. Over the past year, he had begun to define his path. He had even created a few sword techniques. While he hadn't yet succeeded in fusing time with swordsmanship, he had made significant progress in integrating space into his combat style.

One of these techniques was called Daylight Sword. He had comprehended it during a moment of clarity—when sunlight hit him as he trained, triggering a revelation.

The core of the technique lay in instantaneous spatial displacement.

Space shift! 

Kranos muttered inwardly as he immediately vanished into thin air. Before the little girl-shaped creature could react, Kranos reappeared behind her, his sword was already a few inches away from her neck.

So fast! How is he so fast? The girl tried to react but Kranos had already appeared behind her. besides why did she feel the spell she wanted to cast destroyed in an instant?

Swish!

A head flew up into the sky. The next instant the girl turned into a puddle of purplish liquid; the liquid slowly moved away deeper into the forest. Kranos didn't follow it; he knew that there was more to this world than meets the eye. he had to take it one at a time.
