A sudden rupture in space creates a rift, and an unexpected entity emerges from it.

"Tempus?!" I thought she had vanished, eradicated by Eleona, yet there she stood, undaunted before me.

"Don't be so surprised. Just know that simple means can't kill me." It's inconceivable... This development wasn't part of the game... But how is she alive and back? Despite having abandoned the idea that things would follow the game's script, this was beyond belief.

Amidst my overwhelming confusion, Tempus casually reveals her secret of immortality. "I am the God of Time... Merely ending the present moment changes nothing."

It's a truth hard to believe, yet plausible coming from her. But how can she be defeated then?

"Cough...!" Morione, caught off guard by Tempus' ambush, suffers a severe wound and coughs up blood.

"Didn't I tell you? Like a seed that endures winter to bloom beautifully, you must face this crisis and gain insight to truly annihilate me." She retrieves her double-edged sword and begins to walk slowly.

The atmosphere, as dark as the distorted sky, starts gnawing at me... because, in the current scenario, there's no one capable of facing Tempus.

"Morione, this wasn't part of the plan, was it?!"

"Ugh... This seems overwhelming...!" Luslia and Eleona appear worn out from the ongoing battle.

"Surely it was...!" Morione is critically injured from the recent ambush.

"Ugh... Harold, my body won't respond..." Eleona and the others, including me, are nearly incapacitated from Morione's subjugation. She was never an easy adversary, and now the only ones somewhat unscathed and capable of confronting Tempus are me, Ar'cia, Eleona...

"Damn... Injured as I am..."

"Ah..." The last bit of consciousness in Av'ne and Mir might be our only hope. However, despite our numerical advantage, considering each of our conditions, the situation was far from ideal to confront Tempus. The circumstances were dire.

"Morione... Do you think someone of similar mind like me would be easily anticipated?" Whether Ar'cia and the Goddess of Fate had planned something, it was clear that the current situation was beyond their expected range of problems.

"Now, if you don't engage, you'll all surely perish, so try to make a move." Whether it was out of consideration or a strategy to instill despair, Tempus waited leisurely for our move.

"Ugh!" Realizing we had a common enemy, Luslia momentarily ceased her battle with Eleona to unleash magic at Tempus.

Fwoosh! She employed various dark spells against Tempus, but...

"Not bad for an attack, despite the fierce battle you've been through." Tempus effortlessly blocked it while casually complimenting her effort.

"Time Bolt," Morione chanted briefly, and from her wand, she launched an object swirling with void in the midst of pure white light.

"Veil Beyond Death!" However, Tempus enveloped herself in an unfathomable darkness, successfully neutralizing the magic.

"Counterstrike of Time," Tempus announced an enigmatic technique, but...

"...?" Ironically, nothing happened.

"Void Beyond!" Despite the empty atmosphere, Ar'cia didn't hesitate and quickly launched her next attack. But...

Crack! "Aaah!!" To our shock, it was Ar'cia herself who ended up damaged by her attack on Tempus.

"Reflective magic...? Cough!" Ar'cia writhed in agony, twisted by her own attack.
