His powers have increased, and so has his speed. At first it was easy to see him, but then… his speed increased even more…

'He is accelerating,' I thought as I tried tracing him around and when it seemed impossible to do it…

[Eyes of the Time Keeper(Foresight)]

I used the power of the future, along with the power to see multiple timelines at once. Surely it would have had an effect on me and I might have died every time I was going to use it, but… that was when I was weaker back then… not in this form.

I concentrated as I saw about a thousand timelines where I had died many times over. In many of the timelines, I dodged and continued fighting and in many… I succeeded in counter attacking him.

Sadly, not a single timeline had a result where I had defeated him in one go. Not a single one where I had overcome it completely… so this is the level of the enemy I was going to face in this dungeon, huh?

'Wasn't it a bit too overkill?' I thought as I wondered how unbalanced this whole dungeon was… or maybe I was just unlucky?

I then waited for his attack, which was going to come from behind…

And propelled myself a bit forward in the air…

-Slash!

He attacked and missed me… for a brief moment I saw his eyes widened a little before he vanished again. While he missed the first shot, he was going to make another in the same moment, at the same place… at least that's what the foresight told me…

Then…

[Return!]

I activated my ability and vanished before appearing behind him and attacking him fro. his back as hard as I could…

-BOOOM!!!!

I saw him falling to the ground with a broken chest. Though he started healing at an insane speed not even a moment after. Not wasting any moment, I moved towards him with all my abilities activated.

He was fast… I saw him standing up again, once again facing me with a concentrated face… all before I could reach him.

I reached about 10 meters away from him and was about to strike him as hard as I could… but he smiled as he prepared his sword and then…. I couldn't even see any change in his position…

"Too slow," he chuckled as he prepared for his attack

Though… from the corner of my lips… a smile escaped as…

"Sorry for the inconvenience,'' I replied…

[Temporal Deceleration!]

[Temporal Deceleration (Copy)!]

I slowed the time 100 times before I reached closer to him within moments… and…

-BOOOOM!!!!

I punched him again as hard as I could… before he could realize anything, he was thrown to the ground… and once again I punched him…

-BOOOM!!!

But he vanished… my eyes opened wide a little as I recalled he did use something like this before as well…

'Teleportation, huh?' I thought as I looked around, trying to find him. He was in the air at a distance not too far from me… about 10 to 20 meters away from me.

'But it's too short a distance to teleport to… is his skill limited to a short range?' I thought as I observed him making another move.

Once again, not wasting any time, I jumped at him, using all my strength.

With utmost concentration in his eyes, he looked at me, and as soon as I reached closer to him, he vanished again. Through the foresight, I saw an attack that came from behind me, and using all my energy, I dodged it swiftly before going for an attack again.

Once again, using his ability, he dodged and moved for a counterattack from a position which was really hard to dodge. I could only look at him before a slash occurred, severing my arm from my body…

Even with all my foresight and multidimensional timeline, I still couldn't dodge his attack. Calling him skilled would be a grave understatement at this point. I felt like I was fighting a God of Sword Skills or something…

I don't think I can defeat him with only this much power.

So…

Time slowed again.

A smile formed on my face as I looked at that guy. His eyes widened as he saw me… his eyes were shaking a little… questioning what he was witnessing. There was too much confusion in his eyes, but then something changed. The fear vanished and a sense of tranquility appeared on his face.

I then saw him smiling a little… it wasn't a smile of victory, no… but more like a smile of defeat… like he has given up…

'What is he up to?' I questioned for a brief movement before I decided to put it at the back of my mind.

Not caring much… I started attacking him as much as I could…

Even though it looked like he had given up, he still teleported a few meters back as he dodged my attack, but this time I was much faster than before… I reached towards him almost in an instant and…

-BOOOOM!!!!

I hit him but… right after I hit him I saw him teleporting a few meters ahead once again… and once again I reached closer to him…

-BOOOM!!!

He teleported behind me. With his half broken body he tried to attack me, giving his all, despite his face looking like he had no hope of winning.

'Even you know it's futile,' I sighed before turning around rapidly and

-BOOOM!!!!

From the moment he killed me… or maybe even before that. I guess it was from the point that I realized that he had enslaved Erina… I wasn't going to let him live…

It's not like Erina meant much to me… but a being that could scare a girl like Erina that much… I don't think it's worth letting a person like him live… much less talking to him…

-BOOOM!

-BOOOM!!

-BOOOM!!

-BOOOM!!!

I kept punching him over and over and over…

I didn't know how many times I had punched.. I had no idea how many times I saw him teleport…

He was losing health… or was he? Even now I can't see his health at all…

My [Inspect!] skill was too low level for his stats or mine.

All I could do was hope that I could kill this guy before the time runs out…

And with that hope… I punched harder… faster… much more thoroughly….

With each punch, I was getting desperate…

'Why isn't he dying?' I was scared… I didn't have much time either…

[45 Seconds]

That's how much time I have before my ability runs out and all this becomes worthless…

I needed to finish this quickly…

-BOOOM!!!

-BOOOOM!!!

-BOOOOM!!!

Sadly all I had was my physical strength …. And even with all this power it didn't seem like it was helping… it didn't seem like I was winning…

He was mashed like a boiled potato yet there was no message from the System that he was dead.

And after nothing worked…

[Differentiation body ]

[Genetic forced mutation activating]

[Ability to absorb foreign body particles received]

[Ability…]

Once again a thousand notifications ran in front of me as I raised my hand towards that fleshy mud that had formed in front of me…

'Absorb!' I commanded fully knowing that it was going to harm my body… however before I could even touch anything…

[Kira has forcefully killed himself!]

'Huh?'

I saw that message as I looked at that fleshy mud in front of me vanishing into thin air…

And then…

[0 seconds]

'Huh?'

[Your body will now return to its previous state]

'No… Wait!' My eyes widened as I realized what it meant…

[The host is in a critical condition!]

And just like a shell that wasn't a part of my body, my exterior fell down into pieces leaving my old body behind… with a hole in the chest…

"[GREATER BLESSING OF THE LIFE GODDESS]!!!!!" I heard a scream as I saw a green light coming at me at a rapid speed… and enveloping me from all sides…

[All healing regenerative abilities have been enhanced by +10000%]

[Received +50000 HP]

I saw those messages… before my vision faded into darkness…
