Chapter 115: Kranos... Kathryn...
Although Kranos thought that it was strange that he could use his time ability without limits, he didn’t have time to think too much about it.
The group that was chasing him was stunned to see Kranos become young so quickly.
One of them immediately shouted, "Magic! He’s a witch!" The others were also fearful, but suddenly, someone’s voice broke through the crowd:
"Instead of hanging around, let’s capture him. That way we can discover the secret to his magic and retain our youth as well. It could even be the key to eternal life!"
The moment this voice finished speaking, everyone’s eyes lit up. They seemed bewitched with some sort of spell and without hesitation, they rushed towards Kranos who was not too far away; their speed had also increased slightly beyond the speed of a normal human.
Seeing this development, Kranos smiled faintly. The next moment, his figure appeared instantly in front of a young man. This time there was no delay, no flashy movement technique; rather, it was like Kranos had always been there. He called it a unique movement ability belonging to him: Time Retreat!
Although it might seem like Kranos moved, he just rewound time to the moment where he was at where the young man was. The next moment, Eternal Hunger moved...
In an instant, Kranos cleaved the young man’s head in one swift motion, using both Accelerate and Pause! The young man couldn’t even react before he was beheaded. After that, Kranos felt a strange energy flow into his sword. He was stunned for a moment, because he understood that this energy was similar to absorbing... time?
And Kranos felt he could control the absorption! With that, he immediately moved and increased the rate at which his sword absorbed time from the dead guard. It only took a fleeting moment for the guard to turn to dust. It slowly drifted into the wind, causing all the others to shiver slightly.
