Chapter 106: The Chronos King [Part 2] (2/2)

Such was the effect which would happen whenever Gray stopped time previously.

Whenever time would stop however, Gray would always collapse from having his organs crushed from the inside.

The king didn't appear to have this weakness.

With his arms raised up in the pause fighting style stance. He took a step forward.

After that, Gray leapt towards the throne with a punch in motion.

He was aiming for the king's head.

Gray's eyes widened, his fist was implanted into the throne's chair, right beside the King's head.

He had tilted it to the right in the very last second, easily avoiding him in the process.

A split second after, air burst behind Gray three times before he was blasted away.

Airborne, he glanced back towards the throne only to find that the king was no longer there.

*WHAM!*

A kick suddenly crashed into his arms, blowing him away towards the ground.

*CRASH!*

His back crashed into the ground, getting partially implanted into it as a result.

The king fell from above, it's leg stretched out, aiming to stomp on Gray.

*CRASH!!*

Gray rolled over the left barely avoiding it.

The king stomped once more to where Gray rolled, but with his hands, Gray pushed himself off the ground, sending a kick towards the King's face.

*BAM!*

The king blocked, the king as he raised one of his arms.

[Pause]

Gray could now attack freely.

Or so he thought.

With the arm that he had blocked the kick, the king, suddenly grabbed onto Gray's leg before swinging him down to the ground.

As Gray's back crashed into the ground once more, his eyes widened.

'Pause failed?!' He questioned

As he went back up to get swung down again, Gray tried activating [Chronos Field] but that too failed.

He couldn't use any of his skills.

Instead, he waited right until the king had raised him as far up into the air as he could.

The moment he did, he kicked towards his, temple, swinging his leg as hard as he could.

The king raised other arm, his hands were open to grab it but then –

[Pause Fighting Style – Trajectory Shift]

Gray's kick shifted directions, in the last second, passing right over his hand, before digging into the side of his head.

*CRASH!*

The King threw Gray away, letting go of his leg before stumbling back a few steps.

As he flew across the hall, Gray rotated his body mid, making it so that his feet were parallel to the wall before he crashed into it.

Veins bulged out of Gray's thighs before he kicked off the wall, leaping straight towards the king.
