Manaless Mage-Chapter 271: Fix everything!
Chapter 271: Fix everything!
Leon took a short glance at the celestial, before stretching his hand towards the white particles, absorbing them just as he did the last one.
"Y-you..." Kronos muttered, watching helplessly as the remnants of his colleague were devoured by Leon.
"Why... haven’t you killed me yet?" He asked, narrowing his eyes at the man.
He kept panting, sweat rolling down his face as he struggled to maintain his balance.
The cracks on his celestial core were already crumbling, and the pressure on him was starting to become too much for him to bear.
At this point, he would prefer if Leon just ended his life... but not as painfully as he did the others.
However, he would still choose dying over having his celestial core shattered and forever losing his godly time powers.
If that happened, it would simply be a disaster for him!
But unfortunately, he didn’t really have a choice in the matter. It was all up to Leon to do whatever he wanted with his life, such was the curse of being the weak in this world.
"Your case is special, so of course i’m not going to kill you just like that... that’ll he letting you off easy." Leon said, his eyes flashing with a cold glint.
’I knew it...’ Kronos thought, gnashing his teeth in annoyance.
The expression on his face twisted into a deep frown, and he couldn’t help but wonder what Leon was planning to achieve with of this.
Though he didn’t know what it was, he doubted it was anything that would be good for either him or the rest of the celestials.
With how terrible things were looking for him now, he had no choice other than to try and talk his way out of this.
"W-what are you planning... to do with me?" He muttered, tightly clutching his chest, swallowing back the blood that threatened to rise up his throat.
Despite hearing his words, Leon didn’t reply, only staring at him in silence.
"You know... the huge amount of energy coursing through you right now... we call it "full unleash." He said, a strange glint flashing through his eyes as he spoke.
Leon’s face twisted into a slight frown as he heard those words, but it quickly returned to normal, leaving no trace of its former existence.
Although he didn’t reply, Kronos noticed the slight change in his expression, and the edges of his lips slowly tugged into a wry smile.
"It is a technique used by celestials... to convert all their life force into mana... granting them enormous strength..." He said, pausing for a few seconds to catch his breath.
"But... it’s a deadly technique. Since all the life force... is converted to mana... the celest—"
"Shut up Kronos." Leon rudely cut in, his voice echoing through the air with power.
The mere sound of it send a shiver down the celestial’s spine, and his body subconsciously shivered in fear.
"Let me guess... you’re going to help me?" Leon said, flashing a mocking smirk at a man. "You think I’ll buy in to that... when it didn’t even work before?"
’Damn it...’ Kronos mumbled inwardly, gnashing his teeth in annoyance.
"I’m not a celestial, so I don’t care about your suicide methods." Leon contained, spreading his arms out to the sky.
"I’m all alone in this world now, because of you. There’s no way I’ll just let that happen, so... I’m going to change everything!"
"N-no!" The moment Kronos heard his words, his eyes widened in shock, and he subconsciously blurted out in disagreement.
"Y-you can’t do that... it’s too dangerous!" He shouted, blood spurting out of his mouth with every words.
However, he ignored the pain, enduring it with his sheer force of will.
"If you do that... t-this whole universe... it’ll fall apart!" Kronos shouted once more, hoping Leon would listen to reason. "Trust me—"
"I said shut up didn’t I?" Leon cut him off once more, letting out a low sigh of annoyance.
"I have all the power in the world... to do whatever I want. So that’s what I’ll do..." He muttered, his body rising even further into the sky. "...whatever I want!"
"And I’m not asking for your opinion, coward." He suddenly pointed a finger at Kronos, and a thin green bead rapidly formed in front of it, shining beautifully in the air.
Swooosh!
The beam shot forward at great speed, piercing into Kronos’ heart within an instant.
"Argh... what?" The celestial grunted, expecting something like what happened with the other two to happen to him.
But to his surprise, he didn’t feel anything, except for a strange numbing sensation, which rapidly spread around his whole body.
"W-what... was that attack?" He muttered, his eyes widening in shock as he slowly rubbed his chest.
It wasn’t just the fact that he didn’t feel pain that terrified him. There were some time attacks that didn’t inflict physical pain on the victim, but the damage they would do was a lot worse than normal elemental attacks.
He knew very well about those kinds of attacks, since he was well versed when it came to time.
What really terrified him was that he didn’t know what just hit him... he had never seen or experienced an attack like this before!
It was just like the old saying that said, the unknown was always most times scarier than the known.
"It’s a little similar to that attack you used to ’wipe me out’, just a lot deadlier." Leon said, his lips curling into a sinister grin.
"Why be a coward and send an attack to a child... when you can just make them suffer for the rest of their lives!" He said, letting out a low chuckle.
"Argh!!" Kronos shouted, tightly gripping his chest in agony.
His eyes rapidly turned bloodshot, with his veins bulging out of his skin, which was already reddened from the pain.
Coupled with the pain from the pressure pushing down on him, it was all too unbearable, and he could feel his mind slowly tearing apart.
"M-manaless mage... curse you!!" He roared out in agony, veins bulging all over his neck.
Leon only scoffed at his words, before floating even higher up into the sky.
The skill he just used was formed using the beam Kronos used earlier as an inspiration.
However, unlike that one, this one didn’t just travel into the past to attack the person’s younger self.
It simply stuck to the person all through their lives; whether past, present or future, filling their heart with nothing but immense pain and agony!
It was the perfect type of attack to use against someone like Kronos, who could bend time to his will.
He termed it a "time curse", as it was an attack which forever stuck to the victim, inflicting more pain in their heart with every passing second.
With his limitless energy, creating an attack like this from the get-go was as easy as breathing.
"As for me, I’m going... to fix everything!" He shouted, floating up into the high heavens.
Swoosh!!
His energy suddenly exploded out of him, soaring even higher with terrifying speed.
The energy showed no signs of stopping, piercing through the atmosphere, breaking past the boundaries of the earth.
Roar!!
The energy spread through the sky with a powerful roar and the earth violently shook in response.
Although he shut him off when Kronos spoke up about "full-unleash", he knew his words weren’t particularly lies.
While he wasn’t a celestial, and also wasn’t fuelling his energy with his life force, his situation wasn’t any much better.
The amount of energy coursing through his body was far too much, too much than his body could bear.
To make things worse, his energy kept growing, even when he wasn’t trying to make it.
The situation was akin to a weak vessel trying to hold an endless sea of water! The only things that would result from such a situation was the vessel shattering without even holding up to half of the water.
Although his case could be said to be a little better since he had already trained his body before now, so he was capable for withstanding the large amount of energy for at least a little while.
However, his situation was rapidly getting worse with the energy swelling more and more within his body.
At this rate, the energy would eventually grow too much that it’ll explode out of his body, shattering it into smithereens!
Since he didn’t have much time left, there was only one thing to do with this unlimited amount of energy, and that was to channel everything into one ’place.’
’If I pour my energy into one last skill, and take it all back to the beginning! They will all come back... Anna... Harry... mom... i can fix everything!’ He thought, clasping his hands together.
Swoosh!!
A giant green clock immediately appeared behind him, its size spanning even further across the boundaries of the earth.
Fwoosh!!
A powerful green energy bursted out of the clock, violently sweeping across the whole universe.
Meanwhile, beneath him, Kronos’ eyes widened in shock as he stared at the scene before him.
"N-no... you can’t... don’t!!" He shouted, however, the immense pressure suddenly knocked him back, hurtling his body through the air.
