Unexpected.

Although everyone guessed that the demon in front of them would not sit still, no one expected that its counterattack would come so quickly and so fiercely.

- It's just the blink of an eye.

This small team put together improvised confronts the great horror between life and death.

Morale plummeted to the bottom in an instant.

Worst!

Amy is keenly aware of the problem, even for him, the scene in front of him is somewhat ahead of his time, not to mention those elites who have come out of the training academy - maybe they have been tested by actual combat, and they have really experienced the baptism and transformation of life and death, but the academy is the academy, and in the face of sudden major changes, it will always be a beat and a half slower than the real sword and real combat school.

In many cases, even a slight delay is enough to separate life from death.

"Stand back!"

Without hesitation, the young Glory One roared.

His blue eyes reflected the cracked and hideous mouths of the monsters underground, and the terrifying demons with an unusual interest in eating humans turned around unhurriedly, unable to tell if it was the tentacles in the mouth or stomach that snaked out of their mouths, their targets were ...... about to swing his fourth sword at it.

The boy from Ramsden still had no idea what he was going to do, and his eyes widened and he froze, not realizing that the cloud of death was falling.

It's too late!

's reaction was much slower than Amy expected, and after he woke up at the first time, he didn't wake up immediately, but was subconsciously stunned, wasting precious time in needless panic.

It's stupid!

Amy Ulysses thought a little angrily, and then ......

The panicked look on that stupid face froze.

Air –

No, it should be time.

- Dense as water.

The Glory One from Hemtika seemed to have become a fish, a fish that should have lived in the water, but had strayed into the mud, and even if he mustered all his strength, he could only move his steps little by little, with great difficulty, in the air that seemed to be condensed into a pulp.

That's the barrier of time.

The boy knew this as a matter of course, and he didn't have time to be surprised, let alone amazed, he just ...... All the attention was focused on the temporary teammates who were not close to death.

Moving.

Under the pull of time and space, the speed of the young Glory Ones is very slow, very slow.

Of course, this is just a delusion.

In the near-stagnant time, the so-called speed is only an illusion after the original concept has been solidified, and it is some kind of self-contradictory false concept.

- 0.03.

After one step, time ended, and everything began to flow again.

What had happened before seemed like an unreal dream, but Amy Ulysses knew very well that it was not false, but real—because he had stolen a scoop from the river of time like a thief in the legend.

It was 0.03 seconds.

There was no reason, he knew it naturally.

If it were a normal day, he might have wondered if this inexplicable stop of time would have any meaning, and how he would develop and use his new abilities, but now, he didn't think about anything.

Just out of the sword.

One sword, two swords, three swords—

The young Gloryman lay in front of Corbock, his broad-bladed spine sword slicing out one after another, meeting the tiny tentacles that snaked out of the monster's cavity.

Collapse at the touch of a button!

Lightweight is incredible!

There were ripples in the bottom of my heart, and the fragility of the demon was in stark contrast to the previous blood and hideousness, but ...... It's still reasonable - after all, since the monster in front of him, known as "Crassus's tentacles", has habitually hidden its body in a comfortable environment without fighting, then its frontal combat power will naturally be correspondingly weak, and it can directly swallow a reserve sword wielder like just now, which is somewhat lucky.

If it really wants to be able to see one and swallow the other, then what tentacles does it need, and what does it have to hide underground?

Isn't it enough to go into battle directly? Why bother to draw snakes?

A few thoughts flickered, and Amy Ulysses's steps did not stop in the slightest, and he stubbornly resisted the swarming immature tentacles, and slashed out a bloody path with one sword after another.

It's just a fight of trapped beasts.

Disdainfully made such a judgment, the Glory One knew its frail nature.

And the subsequent development of the situation also proved his conjecture, in the face of his "meat" that was sent to his mouth and was still sending it to his mouth, the demon who was accustomed to hiding underground not only did not bite him, but twisted his round body, spasmed and trembled like a puddle of rotten meat, and even the ground piled up from the ruins of the villa under his feet also shook, like an earthquake erupted.

This is......

The signs of danger appeared again, Amy's vision was obscured by dense thin tentacles, and there was no way to perceive where the danger came from, so she could only completely obey the instinctive admonition at this critical time, give up this wave of attack, and with a slight force under her feet, she jumped two or three meters backwards behind her.

"Boom!"

Before he could gain a foothold, like a meteorite falling from the sky, the demon's tentacles slammed down, plowed a deep ravine in the ground.

It's dangerous-

Because of the aura of death, the young glorious person's response to and handling of the crisis is far more positive than that of ordinary people, and their hearts are much larger.

Therefore, without stopping for long, almost the moment the dust was raised, a new offensive was immediately organized.

- Rush!

He swung his sword again, and the cold sword light easily tore through the demon's defenses, spilling large swaths of blood.

The victory is decided.

The boy who had fought hard from Hemtika City was not stopped by the monster's only remaining two mature tentacles this time - he was not a completely brainless man, if it was only a fragile body, he would dare to try it alone, but once it unleashed its two whips with all its might, it was a bit more difficult than the challenge, and it was better to be safe if it was not necessary.

Like what...... It's not a big deal to rely on teammates once in a while.

The task of cutting off the tentacles was carried out by the reservist sword-wielders who had finally come to their senses, and although the elites who had emerged from the Institution had not regained their composure until recently, it was commendable that they made the most correct decision as soon as they regained their composure.

The soldiers split into two groups, each of which was to destroy or limit the two mature tentacles that the demon could use.

At this moment, the monster's already small intelligence was not enough in an instant, and the only result of distraction was only to make the actions that did not have much intellect to speak of more chaotic and ...... Lack of threats.

Not only did the body become a lamb to the slaughter without the power to resist in front of the Glory, but even the two tentacles were completely restrained and unable to move in the panic, and one of them was almost completely broken in two - I don't know if it was lucky or unlucky, and before death came, it did not experience the pain of "a strong man's broken wrist" again.

That's right, it's dead.

And it's quite ...... Spectacular?

Amy was quite conservative, and anyone who saw a ball of meat in front of her explode into a puddle of pus would feel so uncomfortable, especially when he was drenched in soup.

But...... Finally it was a victory.

The young glorious man breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could straighten out his breath, his knees couldn't help but weaken, and the whole person fell to the ground with a pop, and he couldn't get up again for a while.

The body of ordinary people is really fragile......

Amy couldn't help but think so, but in fact, there were not many ups and downs in her heart.

Something to be expected.

It was a remarkable thing to stop time in that moment, and even among the Glorious Ones, who were known for their abilities, there were very few abilities that could interfere in the realm of time, at least he had never heard of it.

Although it was only 0.03 seconds, it was just a blink of an eye, but in a real battle, if he could steal this insignificant scoop of water from the long river of time, it would be easy to create a miracle in the impossible, and it was a powerful ability whose practical value was not under his death harbinger.

Pity...... Only 0.03 seconds......

It's a bit shorter, indeed.

The exhaustion after the battle came to her face, and Amy's thoughts unconsciously diverged.

- Then again, how could he have an extra ability? He had never heard of the Glory being able to awaken a second ability that had nothing to do with his own abilities.

Maybe...... Something to do with the Order?

Is it the baptism of the sword-bearer? i.e., the time will now be after the implantation of stigmata and baptism?

It's kind of unbelievable.

The ** of the sword wielder of the first seal level will be weak to this extent? Even if it is, how can other people explain that he can't be the only one who has been baptized and implanted with stigmata?

There are many more questions, quite quite a lot, so ...... There is no need to rush it in a moment.

The young Glory Man comforted himself.

But somehow, a rather subtle sense of dissonance suddenly arose in my heart.

- What seems to have been overlooked?

He thought about it, and for a moment he couldn't remember what he had overlooked, so he just frowned slightly.

Then...... His face couldn't help but become more and more solemn.

Indeed, he overlooked a very important, even crucial, point in the pile of mysteries in front of him.

That's ......

He is the only one of them all.

For now, at least, he's the only one who has suffered the Constitution Reduction curse - if the curse that weakens his body to the point where a normal person can reach it applies to everyone, then wouldn't the other Reserve Sword Bearers be so weak that they can't even hold their swords?...... After all, a reserve sword bearer is not a sword bearer, and his physique is the limit that ordinary people can reach through normal exercise, which is not the same as that of a born transcendent person like the Descendant of Glory.

But...... They can still fight smoothly.

That is, he was the only one who was cursed.

The exceptions were due to the curse of his status as a Glory Bearer in the city, and the ...... His true identity has been revealed......

Will it be the second one?

Amy Ulysses pursed her lips slightly, and her heart suddenly became heavy.
