CHAPTER 1117: CHAPTER 829: YALEV AMIDST THE FLAMES OF WAR

Similar to the Curse-killing Demon that Reiger previously acquired from Leo, Rom’s Shadow Sword is also a magic sword.

In this world, magic swords are those weapons that not only inflict powerful damage on the enemy but also have negative effects on the wielder.

The Curse-killing Demon is one such example. When it injures the enemy, it curses them to death, but if it accidentally harms the wielder, it also curses them. Thus, it is a dangerous double-edged sword, hence a magic sword.

The Shadow Sword is no different.

This is a weapon that can absorb the wielder’s magic power entirely and convert it into destructive power.

Its danger lies in the fact that it automatically draws the wielder’s magic power, and if not controlled properly, it could potentially lead to the wielder being drained of all their magic power and dying.

When this weapon fell into Rom’s hands, the enhancement it provided him was immense.

Because the Shadow Strike Sword Skill Rom practiced lacked lethality, the royal family equipped him with such a weapon to make up for his shortcomings in attack power.

Now, with this magic sword in the hands of Yuloli, Reiger suddenly realized this was a terrifying situation.

After all, Yuloli’s magic power is so strong, and if she holds the Shadow Sword, converting her magic power into destructive power, how terrifying would her destructive capability be?

"It would probably be dozens of times stronger than Rom, right?"

Thinking of this, Reiger’s gaze towards Yuloli became uncertain and suspicious.

If things were truly as he imagined, then the Shadow Sword in Yuloli’s hands might not be inferior to any Ancient Secret Treasure, and could even potentially rival world-class items.

Redson seemed to have thought the same as Reiger. Seeing Yuloli, who had just released such astounding magic power, put away the Shadow Sword, Redson’s eyes were instantly filled with apprehension.

On the other hand, Rom, the original owner of the Shadow Sword, did not even react when his beloved sword was taken away by Yuloli. Instead, he suddenly erupted in place, lunging towards Reiger.

His appearance, so obsessively determined to take Reiger’s life, startled both Liz and Redson.

Reiger merely watched Rom charging at him calmly, only chanting a spell lightly as Rom came face to face with him.

"[Time Stasis]."

In an instant, Rom’s time was frozen.

"—"

Maintaining the posture of lunging at Reiger, Rom, with only his upper body frozen in mid-air, his pitch-black eyes fixated on Reiger, bloodshot.

"What is this..."

Looking at Rom like this, Redson’s expression changed again.

Just like how Reiger, who mastered time magic, could sense the time fluctuations when Redson used sword skills, Redson could also perceive the fluctuation of the magic Reiger was casting at the moment through Time Sword Skill.

The unique fluctuation belonging to time left Redson stunned on the spot.

"You can also control time?"

Redson looked at Reiger with a face of shock.

"Not really, just pausing ongoing time." Reiger glanced at Redson and said, "This level of skill is far from controlling."

Hearing this, Redson was dumbfounded.

Being able to pause time, and it still wasn’t considered controlling?

Then what am I?

I can only accelerate my own time!

If I could pause the enemy’s time, then what would there be to fear?

Thinking this way, Redson did not realize that the reason Reiger said so was that he increasingly felt that his time magic had significant limitations.

Because it is magic, it could be nullified by some abilities that have resistance effects to magic.

To this day, Reiger could no longer recall how many times his time magic had been rendered ineffective by enemies.

So initially it was fine, but later on, Reiger increasingly found time magic less useful.

In "YGGDRASIL," once players reached level 70, they certainly would prepare time countermeasures against the time magic of Magic Singers, proving that time magic is not all-powerful and there are many ways to deal with it.

The level 70 in "YGGDRASIL" is only equivalent to the pinnacle of Lv.5, and from this level onwards, one can prepare time countermeasures, indicating that time magic remains quite effective against enemies at Lv.5 and below, but is somewhat inadequate when used against enemies above Lv.5.

If it weren’t for the fact that outside of the Akasha Continent and the Overlord’s world, the countermeasures against time magic were not as many as those in "YGGDRASIL," Reiger might have long stopped using this magic.

Unaware of Redson’s thoughts, Reiger extended his hand and placed it on Rom’s time-stopped head.

"[Memory Manipulation]."

He began searching through Rom’s memories, delving into Rom’s brain, roughly scanning his memories without regard for any potential damage to Rom’s brain.

He wanted to know why Hemulinp had died, and why Rom, who had been guarding Hemulinp, had become like this, determined to kill him.

Thus, Reiger restricted the search range to the time around when he entered the palace, looking for the cause of events.

This process was unexpectedly smooth.

There were clearly no countermeasures on Rom to deal with memory-based, mind-based, or spirit-based abilities, so Reiger found everything that happened that night with ease.

Through Rom’s perspective, he witnessed Solok firsthand, saw that ominously aura-emitting curved sword of Solok, and saw how he controlled Rom and killed Hemulinp.
