Chapter 260 - I Celestial World Core (2/2)

With his hammer pointed at Edward, Elijah couldn't hold back his question.”How did you recover your senses?”

Edward's hand played with his blade as he replied. ”Not that much, the great one returned my senses in exchange for delaying you here.”

”I see...” Elijah raised his guard as he mobilized the powers of time around him. In his left hand, he held a couple protective origins which he threw in the air right at the same time a thin black feather approached at extreme speeds, cutting its way through both space and time before it crashed on a thick layer of energy around Elijah.

Crack*

Small cracks appeared on the surface of the barrier around Elijah, but the storm of claws that attacked his back were enough to break his defenses and rip his body apart. And once again, a lifeless body covered in claw marks fell on the ground.

....

”Show yourself!” Suddenly he drew his weapon, the silence in this vast ocean of sand broke as a thousand silver-eyes beasts surged from the ground.

A voice that came from the deeps of hell, then sounded in his ears. ”Eight royal families instead of seven, the existence of those weird towers and buildings. Now this type of cosmic plane, something completely different from what I've seen in other places. You know, your reality is a real singularity.”

Even with the all the noise of the beasts and sand flying everywhere, sounds of steps sounded from afar. There, with his silver hair and crown stood Edward holding a long black as thin as a needle in his hand.

”I see... This is the thousandth time already.” Elijah raised his guard as he mobilized the powers of time around him as he thought deeply. With the passage of time, more and more memories came right in mind, and his expression grew more and more cold by each time his body fell on the ground.

If he blocked the feather, the beasts would take him from behind, fleeing was also not an option because the feathers weren't limited just to one and it could trace his movements back to himself. Just now he had experienced his one thousand and one death. Of course, only he was aware of this all which was his only advantage.

The only problem was that he didn't have much time between his deaths to think of a way to escape this situation.

”Here we go again.” Elijah muttered to himself. And as he didn't anything to defend himself this time, a black feather slashed through his head as he fell down once more.
