Chapter 1521 Time Shield & Time Hack

Date- 13 April 2321

Time- 9:52

Location- Southern Region, Southern Capital

Though all the entities in the vicinity of the mohawk devil were trapped in its time rule meaning- Time Flow. It however was not affected and could move around freely. As a matter of fact, it appeared to move around more freely than before. 

The truth was that the mohawk devil had used its time master to create a secondary time flow overlapping the original time flow just for himself where 1 second of the original time flow is equal to one hour.

Meaning, a second for everyone in the original time flow was equal to an hour to him, thanks to the secondary time flow which he created such that it overlapped with the original time flow. This was why every entity appeared to be paused. 

There was a drawback to this as well, while everyone lived a second he would have lived an hour regardless of if he stopped his skill midway. Time was not forgiving to those that abuse it. 

The fact to notice was that the sand in the hourglass strapped to the mohawk devilʼs back appeared to be flowing in a reverse direction, the sand from the lower section of the hourglass was flowing to the upper section of the hourglass defying the laws of physiques. This phenomenon somehow appeared to be related to why the mohawk devil no longer moved at a slow pace. 

Mohawk devilʼs eyes glanced over everyone trapped in its time flow before it vanished and appeared right in front of the demigod who had just insulted it by calling it a boar and comparing it to a pig. 

Then it clenched its sausage fingers into a fist and threw it right at the face of the demigod. However, just as its fist was about to hit the demigodʼs face it meet with an invisible resistive force that was countering the force of its fist stopping it from landing on its target. 

The mohawk devil was surprised by this turn of events. Soon an apparition of a huge golden analog clock appeared above the group of demigods belonging to central government forces and suddenly their bodies resumed their function. Seeing this the mohawk devil immediately took a backstep and retreated. 

Seeing the mohawk devil how was retreating, the demigod from earlier yelled in anger, ”You fucking pork brain, you have done it now. Nobody can save your bacon today, not even if the will of the dark realm comes in person to save you.” 

Not just that demigod, but all the demigod members of the central government forces were visibly angry. That was because due to the mohawk devilʼs time ability, they ended up using two of their precious one-time-use Time Shield skill cards.

…

Since there were two teams of the central government at the site, for all 10 of their members including Ada and Arnas to awaken in the new time flow created by the mohawk devil, they ended up using two Time Shield cards. 

Thanks to the time shield the demigods from the central forces were able to tap into the secondary time flow created by the mohawk devil. 

”Let me help our friend from Morningstar University to awaken to the new time flow,” another demigod from the central government team said as he prepared to attack one of the demigods from Morningstar University, awakening them to the new time flow by forcefully consuming their time shield cards. Since they lost two Time Shield cards it was only fair their rival lost some. 

”No donʼt awaken them, two of you take the boy and head straight to the rendezvous point and bring the boy to our Master while we will hold back the devil and Morningstar University forces,” the vice-captain ordered the team. 

”But Vice-captain—” The two demigods who were assigned with the task to capture Wyatt while the rest of their forces tried to hold back the devil and the morningstar university forces despite being outnumbered wanted to protest the plan of their vice-captain but he interrupted them saying, ”The faster you two escape with the boy the faster we can also escape, understood?” 

”Yes,” the two demigods nodded and headed to Wyatt while the vice-captain ordered the rest, ”Prepare your taboo card and activate them on my signal.” 

However, before they could they saw an apparition of a digital clock appear above the demigods from Morningstar University and it read 1:3600. With that they too were able to tap into the secondary time flow created by the devil and freely move in it. 

”What the? How?” the demigods of central government forces mumbled in shock. As far as they know there was only one high-grade card that helped card apprentices defend against high-level time skills, the Time Shield card. But the demigods from Morningstar University used an unknown high-grade Time card to tap into the secondary time flow created by the devil. Though it was slow it did not require the user to be attacked to trigger. In some ways, it was better than the Time Shield card. 

”I see you brutes are still using the old-school Time Shield card created by one of our alumni centuries ago. Behold our new and improved version of the Time Shield card, the Time Hack card. It activates as long as it senses a disturbance in the worldʼs time flow,” the leader of the Morningstar University team explained to their enemies. Morely like showing off the achievements and advancement of their universityʼs Card creation R&D department.
