Chapter 135 - 135: The Tribes Leader [Part 2] (2/2)

Now that he was immobile, Gray appeared before him with both arms pulled back and ready to unleash a barrage of punches.

With his hair covering his expression, Gray threw a barrage of punches, one after another.

He swung and swung, creating fist prints all around the tribe leader's body.

Although he was keeping up a tough front, Gray had exhausted quite a lot of his energy. Not to mention he hadn't been able to get a good night's rest because of the jungle.

Even with the stat upgrades, the amount of stamina he had was limited.

Despite that, he didn't hold back on bit on the punches.

Part of Gray's anger for being forced to fight when he was already tired was added onto the punches.

He glanced down only to find that Delta and the others had stopped fighting. They were watching with shocked expression.

As Gray was about to unleash the final punch, slammed into his back, sending him flying towards a nearby tree.

The tree opened up showcasing creating a mini cage waiting for him.

Even though Gray had paused him, he could still use his ability. The same applied to everyone. Even the king's dimensional cube and Delta's flames stayed after they were paused.

Gray was only not used to situations like this as he'd generally finish them off before they could make out what was happening.

And most of the abilities he had faced were physical enhancement abilities which would be rendered powerless if one was paused.

This wood manipulation ability worked around using physical manifestations.

Gray created a platform ahead of himself, landing into it with both feet placed on it, before pause stepping to a random location away.

After doing so, Gray's eyes widened.

[Trajectory Shift!]

He shifted his body forward and down mid-air and watched as another large wooden trunk soared right above him.

Upon avoiding it even more trunks extended out of it towards him at high speeds.

It was predictable just like before, so Gray repeated the same movement to avoid it. He pause stepped away.

However, not even a second after he pause stepped, his eyes widened as he was surrounded by trunks, branches and pillars heading right at him.

Gray kicked off a platform to avoid it, only to be surrounded by pillar's coming from every direction.

[Pause Level 3: Chronos Field!]

Gray landed on top of a platform of paused air and watched as the pillars all came to a stop, around him, right after coming into contact with his field.

Gray panted trying to catch his breath. He glared at the tribes leader.

The wooden trunks were surrounding him, creating a wooden cocoon to protect him.

Seeing this Gray placed his palm on his face before pulling his hair back.

His eyes grew cold and dark as bloodlust began to seep out.

”Unpause.” He said coldly.

*WHAM!* *WHAWHAWHAWHAWHAWHAWHAM!*

The leader's body cocked in direction it was hit as the hits began to register inside of the semi-formed cocoon.

Shortly after, the leader burst out of the cocoon, with injuries all over his body.

His control over the branches went loose and the branches began to sway around attacking everything in sight.
