Stone house in the woods

As soon as the Ethereal Warrior moved, there was a crisp ding in the air. Two 20-centimeter-long, silver-white daggers shot out from his arms. His entire arm changed strangely.

The daggers were strange too. The material looked like crystal while rings of silver runes wrapped around it. It was intimidating.

“Blade of Time: Fate! Die!”

As this guy roared, he crossed his arms and went into the attack position. His body turned into an illusory streak that shot towards Link.

This incredible speed was equivalent to that of a Level-8 Assassin. Paired with the power of time, basically anyone under the Legendary level would be helpless against him. Even a Legendary figure might be caught by surprise and be at a disadvantage when faced with a time attack.

But it was ineffective against Link.

He’d faced the Spear of Victory from the Nagas before. The time power within that spear was far greater than this Ethereal Magician. The Dragon King’s Fury sword could slice apart this type of casual attack. He wouldn’t need much more effort when faced with this weaker attack.

When the silver Blade of Time reached him, Link didn’t even bother to use a spell. He just blocked it with his sword.

Cling, clang, cling. There were a few consecutive hits. Link could easily block the Ethereal Warrior’s silver-white dagger with only a bit of his strength.

After blocking three moves in a row, he sped up with the fourth move. When the opponent switched to another move, he swept his sword over.

Thud. There was a muffled sound as he slapped the opponent’s chest. His strength was just enough to force the Ethereal back.

“Argh!” the Ethereal Warrior roared, wanting to charge again.

“Enough, stop fooling around.”

Link was too lazy to mess with him. The moment the other moved, Link stuck his left hand out. Semi-transparent ripples appeared in the air and crashed towards the Ethereal like a tidal wave. When it reached the Ethereal, it turned into four circular shackles that wrapped around him and lifted him to the sky.

The Ethereal Warrior struggled but to no avail.

Of course, his ability with time was very unique. He’d even surpassed the understanding of some Legendary Warriors, but that was it. He was like a regular man with an assault rifle. He had a powerful weapon but was still just an average person. A truly powerful opponent could easily defeat him.

Coincidentally, Link was that type of powerful opponent. His Dragon King’s Fury sword was an even better “assault rifle.” Under this situation, there was no way the Ethereal Warrior could win.

Using his mind, Link nudged the spatial shackles. The Ethereal Warrior in the sky was dragged to the stone platform and prostrated.

“Who are you?” The Ethereal Warrior was so shocked. Link had changed completely now and looked like a regular mercenary, so the Ethereal couldn’t recognize him.

Link obviously wouldn’t answer. He walked up and jabbed the Ethereal’s head, neck, limbs, waist, and other places. Semi-transparent spatial shackles popped out of nowhere to anchor and immobilize the person on the stone.

“What are you doing?!” The Ethereal had a bad feeling.

Link tapped his mouth to shut it. “Quiet.”

“Mmmm, mmm!” The Ethereal’s shock and terror grew heavier. He struggled with all his might, but it was in vain.

Link ignored him. He walked over and flipped the man’s eyelids to check his eyes. The possessed Magician had deep blue eyes that were actually quite pretty. Of course, Link wasn’t appreciating his eyes. He studied the deep blue orbs and saw faint green light deep inside.

“Aha, so there are abnormal signs.” Link chuckled.

If Ethereals really wanted to hide, they could do it quite well. The possessed basically wouldn’t have any visible signs. Link had to use the Vision of Truth to find abnormalities before. After looking closely, he realized that even a regular person could discover what was amiss.

The Ethereal was even more terrified. His pupils constricted to a point.

Link ignored him. To him, the Ethereal in this Magician’s body was something to be eradicated and used. There was no pity to be had.

He didn’t know the Secret spell to drive away the Ethereal, but he could use alchemy. Thinking of this, Link stepped back. He grabbed downward, and Dragon Power surged out. Another boulder rose up from the ground. He started taking out all his alchemy tools one by one, placing them neatly on the stone.
