Inside the stopped time, three people were facing each other in a three-way standoff.
Guy’s sword flickered but was repelled by Chloe’s katana.
Chloe then sent out a slash with a flowing movement which was repelled by the ice wall that appeared in front of Velzard.
The ice wall broke and burst, becoming bullets of ice which poured over Guy and Chloe, but the two people ward all of them off with the weapons they hold in their hands without difficulty.
Neither strategy nor psychological warfare had any meaning, it’s a world ruled by absolute power.
In that situation, the three demonstrated their power, no one conceded even for one step.
It was a contest of equal balance.
‘Well, what should I do?’
Guy thought.
Even in the world where the time stopped, Chloe could move calmly.
In a world where normal eyesight didn’t have any meaning as even the light particles have stopped.
In this world where time stopped, the reactions from the energy released is used to perceive the situation.
Whether it’s Heroes or Devils, since they were bound by the world’s rule, it’s impossible for them to act.
However, Chloe had transcended that restriction.
In other words ――
(This person, was a spiritual lifeform too, that’s it)
It meant this.
Even in the lowest level, she should had become a Demi God.
A person who reached the domain of God while being in a mortal body.
But, in this case, it’s convenient. As even Guy would withdraw from fighting against Velzard while protecting Chloe who couldn’t move.
Afterall, inside the world where time stopped, even defensive power became zero.
Explaining it easily, all of the connections between the inherent energy that a substance has became cut off.
In other words, the motion of all substances stops. Everything even the link between substances and molecular motion.
Because it was stopped, when an external force is applied, it will collapse easily.
Even if it’s a lump of steel, even if it’s the worlds hardest material, it can be destroyed even by the impact of a gentle breeze.
Of course, the same applied even to superior arms. If it’s lower than Legend class, they have no meaning.
Defending a target in such a state, the difficulty is too high even for Guy.
Fortunately, Chloe doesn’t seem to have any problem in the stopped world. It’s dangerous to think so even though she’s an enemy, but in this case he appreciated it.
He put his worry for Chloe aside for the time being.
The current problem was what he should do in this situation.
Stopping Velzard’s rampage, and defeating Velda. Those became his ultimate goal.
His fight with Chloe is an act, Guy’s main purpose is to get out from this place. But it’s impossible for Chloe to ignore Guy due to the effect of the curse.
