Ever since the Undead Wildfire reappeared and introduced itself to its apprentice face-to-face, Zhu Ri has patiently waited for the two of them to finish their conversation.
While the Undead Wildfire was spouting those nonsensical things, Sun Chaser had already been holding back for as long as possible...
What did she get in return? She got the words, "Take them all in one go."
Looking up at the sky, Zhu Ri exhaled deeply, silently reminding himself that from now on, whenever he saw the apprentice's face, no matter what mountains, stars, or timelines he was in, he should not show the slightest weakness!
With a flick of her dagger, the glowing time hand that had been hovering near her ear rapidly enlarged and spread across the clock face battlefield. The enormous time hand began to rotate at an extremely slow speed beneath her feet, emitting a soft yet undeniably captivating light.
Then, ignoring the apprentice explaining the rules and restrictions of the match to Wildfire, she charged straight at him.
At this moment, Yu Xunge and Wildfire had finished exchanging key rule information. However, when the time pointer was laid out at their feet, their eyes were involuntarily drawn to it, and then they both realized that their time was beginning to slow down.
Even though the two of them immediately focused their minds and used instant teleportation skills to disappear from their original positions, it was still a beat too late. The elf's two daggers swung out in a cross motion, dealing effective damage to both of them at the same time.
Is it another time-based technique? And a large-scale time-based technique at that.
Why didn't the "Wildfire Rekindled" buff work?
While struggling to evade, Yu Xunge began to ponder the many problems with the skill "Chasing the Sun".
Zhu Ri has already used the divine talent word's ability on her. From the beginning until now, Zhu Ri should have used time-based techniques more than 10 times. Whether it's Zhu Ri's own acceleration, occasionally stealing a second when an attack takes effect, or the time flow changes that are currently affecting both herself and Wildfire...
Why haven't I entered the second phase of the "Wildfire Rekindled" mode?
Was it because she didn't say any cringeworthy lines? No, she only said them when she was starting to rekindle her powers in the mountains, and right now her [Wildfire Rekindling] skill wasn't active.
Zhu Ri is unaware of the activation conditions for his [Wildfire Rekindled] skill, and this skill has not been banned...
After ruling out all other reasons, the most problematic factor is only one: the number of times the time-limited skill is used each day is incorrect.
Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced again at the time pointer that had forcefully entered her field of vision, and a thought flashed through Yu Xunge's mind: Perhaps what Zhu Ri was using was not a time technique at all!
Who says that clock-related elements are necessarily related to time?
Hypnosis...
Yu Xunge thought of a very ancient psychological technique from the wine-carrying civilization.
Why did she believe that the Sun's clock could occasionally steal the second of her successful attack? It was because this effect was triggered during the battle between Ash and Sun, and only after she asked Sun this question did Sun give an affirmative answer...
But upon closer reflection, a clock appeared in her vision every time her attack failed. And a thought flashed through her mind: What if it got stolen again…?
And as the clock hands turned counterclockwise, all sorts of thoughts flashed through her mind... One of them was, "Haha, surely it's not like it sealed all the skills I used in the last few minutes?"
And then there's the five-fold speed increase every day... that was also an unconscious association she made after seeing the rapidly spinning hands of time.
Once you understand one thing, you understand everything. Yu Xunge also thought of the most important and crucial piece of evidence—at this point in time, time-based techniques should no longer be present.
After the second chime, she remembered one message clearly: "The time of the Chaotic Star Sea has been further calibrated. Each Star Sea Day, the number of time techniques that the Chaotic Star Sea can use cannot exceed 100."
This is only the second time the bell has rung, and the time-limited usage limit is already down to 100. What about the third and fourth times...?
When it comes time-based techniques to the upcoming competition against the mountains, it's uncertain whether they will still be usable. Under such circumstances, why would Starsea Bear teach the Sun Chasing Time Technique?
During this crucial phase of "divine instruction," based on her own observations and information gleaned from the battlefield chat channels, no knowledge or skill imparted by any deity was related to time.
Many thoughts flashed through my mind, but only a few seconds passed in reality.
What annoyed Yu Xunge was that in those few seconds, Zhu Ri only focused on attacking him!
While she racked her brains for a strategy to counter this hypnotic technique, she glanced around for her teammates. Where were they? They were supposed to be taken down in one fell swoop!
Yu Xunge had only been looking around casually out of the corner of her eye, but after looking around, she still couldn't see it. In the end, it was Zhu Ri who kindly reminded her.
Zhu Ri pointed to the sky: "Look."
A pale blue flame was seen floating slowly upwards like a balloon in the sky. It had now risen to the same level as the audience stands, and it flickered from time to time, as if it might be blown out by the winds of the starry sky at any moment.
Good news, my teammates are still in the dungeon.
Bad news: My teammates have taken all the boss's aggro.
Yu Xunge glared at the Undead Wildfire, knowing that this game wouldn't force the opponent to reveal their true abilities.
Is there really no way to deal with Undead Wildfire? Perhaps, but more likely it's that the other side is unwilling.
Wildfire is another version of himself, and Yu Xunge easily understood Wildfire's thoughts.
Summoned to another timeline without knowing the full story, Wildfire will never rashly intervene in anything, even if the one asking for help is "another me".
They wouldn't trust anyone, not even themselves from another world.
Yu Xunge was naturally disappointed; this save-loading ability seemed powerful, but it was just too difficult to use...
Does she not know how annoying she is?!
For a fleeting moment, she actually understood, just a tiny bit… a tiny sliver of the truth about the flower-cheating scheme.
But besides regret, he felt a sense of exhilaration at meeting a worthy opponent, and Yu Xunge smiled as he ended the "load" process.
The cluster of eerie blue wildfire dissipated in the wind.
