144 My Name Is.. (1/2)

”There might be something else she lied about..” Said Daniel to the woman with a casual tone.

Irritated by Daniel's words, she took a step forward, and said ”Alright, you are coming with me. We'll have a little chat about what happened.”

”I'm not going anywhere.” Responded Daniel, while smiling faintly.

Due tothe fact that she was the head disciple of one of the strongest sect in the city, this woman was extremely well respected. Usually, people would gladly agree to her requests, but Daniel seemed to be very keen on irritating her.

Unfortunately, that was the truth.

Since Daniel had walked all the way from the city entrance to that building, he had noticed Zack's terrified behaviour. Taking into consideration the state his body was in, one could infer what kind of treatment awaited him whenever he would set foot into the city.

He would be beaten up, shamed, and insulted.

But Daniel knew better than others.

If Zack was guilty, there would be no way for the girl's karma to decrease so drastically. The only reason for that, could be that the pain caused to Zack, could be directly attributed to the young girl.

The same was for the young man which was with her.

He didn't know the entire story, but karma wouldn't lie.

The woman thrusted her hand dowards Daniel, in an attempt to grab his shoulder, but he was easily able to avoid her by stepping aside. She quickly reacted, and waved her hand in an attempt to catch Daniel's clothes, but once again, she missed.

For a long minute, she used the fastest speed she could muster to grab Daniel, but she wasn't even able to make her fingers brush against his clothes.

What she hadn't notice.. what nobody noticed, was that the time in the area kept moving backwards for split seconds, and repeated itself over and over again.

While she had spent only a minute in that fight, only able to feel that Daniel was as slippery as an eel, he had spent more than ten minutes in it instead.

He had been forced to rewind time more than once during each of her attempts to grab him, just so that he could avoid her.

He had learned this concept of time the very last time he had been killed. When he had picked his world of origin to be teleported in, and had been killed by Nia for losing the bet. In that moment, he had learned the concept of rewinding.

It is important to understand one thing.

People that had been born in a world with a full connection to the spiritual plain, had never bothered to learn how to control the other essences. Only a specific and rare kind of mage would take the time to do this.

The reason for that was simple. With the amount and purity of their spiritual essence, they could simple take control over the surrounding elements to fight, or use spiritual essence directly.

This meant that their evolution in spells and magic, was at a much earlier stage than that of Daniel's world of origin, where people needed to construct elements by using their limited spiritual essence, and through their comprehension of the various essences.

Because of that, the majority of the cultivators that lived in worlds with a complete connection to the spiritual plain, would instead become some sorts of magical warriors. These magical warriors would use abilities formed by the combination of physical attacks and elements in order to increase their power to a devastating degree.

One example of this, was the Sect of the Instantaneous Sword, which teached a set of sword skill which was created by mixing swordsmanship, and the teleporting concept of space.

The ones who focused on specific types of essence, were mostly researchers, alchemists and people passionate about the subject.

The reason why this is important to know, is so that one can understand the significant difference between spiritual cultivators, and immortal cultivators.

The power of an immortal cultivator would be on a much higher level, but that had caused spiritual cultivators to need to research the full extension of their power, and push it to the extreme.

That's why the young cultivators that had attacked Daniel had been helplessly teleported around, and why the woman wasn't able to grab him despite her higher level of power.

Embarrassed, the woman let her immortal essence out of her body, increasing the speed of her movements even more.

Now unable to avoid her anymore, Daniel decided to put the entire area under a spatial blockade, and create an illusion in it.

He left a wisp of his immortal essence to work as a bait for the woman's attack, and imitated the surrounding essences to perfection.. Leaving only two people free from the illusion.

Zack, and Himself.

Daniel approached Zack, which was looking at the woman trying to grab the empty air around her, and at the crowd that cheered loudly. He then turned to look at Daniel, and said ”What is going on? Why are they behaving like that??”

”Don't worry about it.. Let's go.” Responded Daniel while grabbing Zack's shirt, and dragging him out of the crowd.

Within the edges of the crowd, there was a person which hadn't fallen for his illusion, and was directly looking at him as he moved away.

That person, was the guard which had helped Zack.

Daniel and Zack were now sitting at a table in a restaurant, and were waiting for the food that Daniel had ordered to arrive.
