Chapter 125

Even though Chrono Maze was not on the higher echelons of divine beings, she was still the goddess of time. After she was summoned into the improvised golem made by Dran and had her divine powers restricted, she remained superior to the creatures on earth.

The savage Balhouse delivered lethal slash after lethal slash. Every move of this fighter, feared by his nickname as the Shura Blade, was watched keenly by Chrono Maze at an accelerated speed.

To a bystander, even the shadow of Balhouse’s attacks was too quick to even register on the retina. However, Chrono Maze could easily face these blades as she expanded the passage of time and slowed them down.

Chrono Maze had the ability to tinker with the smallest unit of time experienced by things on earth. For someone like her, time was literally meaningless. Moreover, Balhouse’s existing slashes were not the only thing she observed. She could even see the future attacks executed by Balhouse with the eyes of the goddess of time, eyes offering her a perfect grasp of the present and the future.

No matter how impressive Balhouse was as a fighter, he was no match for Chrono Maze who existed in a different dimension of time. Not only could Chrono Maze predict his attacks, she even had the ability to parry his blows. Against such an opponent, it was pointless regardless of the number of secret techniques dished out in this fight.

An invisible blade of killing intent, a translucent blade of fighting spirit, and a magical sword that could easily deliver a hundred attacks in a second—Balhouse unleashed these three blades in all directions. Yet, Chrono Maze parried them away with her sword and shield. Despite the five hundred slashes that Balhouse had delivered, the goddess of time remained utterly unscathed.

Chrono Maze did not focus on passively fending off attacks. Naturally, she retaliated with her own blows.

Under the restraints that were enforced by Dran, Chrono Maze was forbidden from manipulating the time of others and her attacks to create miraculous moves. Balhouse remained unaffected by differences in time, but Chrono Maze was tweaking the flow of time for each of her body parts differently to mislead Balhouse.

For example, Chrono Maze swung the sword in her right arm and tinkered with the time of her attack such that the expected timing of the blow would differ from the actual blow landing on her opponent. An attack that could have been dodged would end up striking her opponent instead.

Balhouse was already unusually acute to have noticed this discrepancy in time with Chrono Maze. However, he remained powerless to do anything about her attacks.

After all, Balhouse’s opponent was a real goddess. Christina could conjure miracles from divine power due to her high spiritual sensitivity. Yet, with Chrono Maze as an opponent, it was hard to pull any of such tricks with divine power.

On the other hand, Balhouse probably deserved praise for avoiding any lethal blows thus far after enduring so many of Chrono Maze’s time miracle attacks.

『Well, here we have it. It’s neither hypnosis nor instigations, but a real time lag. I can break out of hypnosis by myself, so that’s fine. Though, what am I supposed to do with this?』

Balhouse happened to suffer the six hundredth slash from Chrono Maze’s swing of her right arm, and he took seven steps away from her. In response to the lamenting Balhouse, Chrono Maze stood leisurely with her sword hanging from her right hand.

Presently, Chrono Maze was the emblem of a loyal dog to Dran, though she certainly would have seemed far more majestic and dignified as a goddess if she were not before Dran.

『Bloody blade, one who will walk the path of chaos and become a magical sword. You sound defeated, but the sparkle in your eyes show that your words are false. I can see that you’re overcoming your resignation to boldly challenge yourself.』

If Chrono Maze had met Balhouse when she was still alive, she would have made him a follower of her own and offered him sacred treasures. However, it was a pity that he was now a fearsome opponent of her respected lord. Hence, she could only keep this admiration clammed up in her heart as she took a step forward.

This was a step taken a thousandth of a second before Balhouse transformed into a whirlwind of slashes barreling toward Chrono Maze. As a result, Balhouse managed to clinch an impressive preemptive strike.

This was a move that was entirely unexpected in the fight thus far, one executed without any preparatory movements. It was a surprise attack even for someone with sight of the future, and an utter change to the flow of time.

『Tch! What a pain!』

Balhouse had no other choice but to acknowledge that his actions were an open book to his opponent. He no longer bothered to keep up appearances as frustration rambled out of his mouth.

However, dear Balhouse’s lips pulled into a smile, revealing his delight at meeting an opponent whom his blade could not reach. Well, in the brief time left, this magical sword of blood and death could have the time of his life sparring blades with the goddess of time.
