56 Ch. 56 The Darkened Heart (1/2)

Skylar managed to find some time-controller somewhere else. Without wasting time, he immediately sucked up all their energy and stored it in the container.

There were screams in several places and the surrounding residents could not help them. To be precise the negihbour would never heard the cried of asking a help as Skylar made a soundproof barrier. This way, he could take their energy by force unnoticed.

Skylar looked at the contents of the container which was fully loaded. He must return to hand it over to that person and took another container.

After making sure there was no time-controller around that place, Skylar left. But an elderly person stopped his steps.

”Young man. Why did you do all this? How many time-controllers did you kill?”

”...” disregarding the question, Skylar hit the old man with wind elemental energy.

The energy made a sharp blade in a crescent moon shape. It could cut the human body to half easily. Alas, the blade didn't cut the old man instead it went through the old man's body as if the man himself was a ghost.

This event made Skylar baffled.

What happened? Who is this old man?

Seeing this old man was not ordinary elementalist, Skylar put the container inside his astral dimension then summoned his weapon.

The weapon was a twin disc-like blades that could merge into one forming a full moon. He moved so quickly and threw his two blades towards the old man.

The weapon was just a distraction. Skylar moved right away when the old man's eyes focused on his flying blades. He spoke some strange words like a spell while his hands made a circle with his joint fingers.

Seconds later, a giant tornado made its way towards the old man. Skylar smirked as he could see the old man's end. Alas, all of sudden everything went stop.

The swords, the tornado even his own body came to a stop.

Did the time freeze? How?

Strange enough, Skylar was still conscious. He could still hear or see. Only he couldn't move his body. It felt like a shackle wrapped his whole body restraining his movement.

”Who are you?” Skylar asked in a monotonous voice. ”You're not a time-controller.”

”I'm not. Yet I could still stop time even if my opponent is an Elementalist knight.”

Both of Skylar's eyebrows knit together in confusion.
