I, with a long knife in my hand, can only do one move

"you

The battle begins, no matter how many times - until you find yourself. "

Leticia stretched out her hand to hold the golden scepter, looking at the figure in front of her who slowly stood up from the surging bloody mist.

His black hair quickly transformed from the roots to dirty pale dancing with the wind, and his pair of rational and firm black eyes were also replaced by madness, exuding a suffocating scarlet.

"Hahahahaha... It's been a long time~ Xi Ya, do you miss me?"

"Yeah... Long time no see." Leticia replied coldly.

And in the center of the wristband woven by the time spell wrapped around her wrist, the number is slowly changing from "1" to "2".

The pain that the sharp blade pierced through the heart still lingered in the nerves, and Leticia felt that her palms were already full of sweat at this moment, and she couldn't stop shaking from fear.

Now she is very clear that she can't beat the lunatic in front of her no matter what, but she still has to stand in front of Cheng Mo.

Bet on Gesebrisac's name, no matter how many times...

Go on no matter how many times, until you come back—

She took a deep breath, restrained her trembling hands, and plunged into the battlefield in front of her, destined to end in failure.

"Come on... let's get started!"

Chapter 15 The Shackles Named 【Time】

And in this earth-shattering, endless battle between the "devil god" and the curse god, a place called the Durnoi Continent on a certain planet in the universe...

In the depths of the ultramarine forest covered by dense woods, in a tree house with smoke rising from the chimney, Grestavia, the ultimate house witch who hasn't gone out for decades, feels today. The days are very strange.

I bought a lot of high-tech gadgets in that foreign world bazaar before, and there was something called a "laptop computer" among them.

The merchant and himself have repeatedly explained that this thing has an exceptionally powerful networking function, and you can receive signals no matter where you are, so there are many good things on the "online".

So after that, Gresta seemed to have opened the door to a new world. In this continent where martial arts and magic are prevalent, she seemed to be the only "home girl" who could stay at home and read books online.

And she especially likes to read the lily novels with themes such as blonde elf

Have these wives really experienced that kind of thing, and they know better than themselves? This is a treasure!

This day, she was going to look through the wives in the watch list for any updates, and then pack and download them to enjoy slowly. However, although this laptop can be connected to the Internet everywhere, the speed of the Internet here seems to be not very fast. .

Looking at the slow-moving progress bar on the screen, Gresta felt as unbearable as a kitten scratching her heart.

【80%...90%...99%】

It's finally over!

The progress bar that was about to finish was just a second before the download was about to be completed. Gresta's vision was blurred, and she felt that everything around her seemed to be reset.

And the progress bar that was just about to finish returned to [1%] that made her feel suffocated in her chest.

"I￥%#you%@he&**%@! (Father in Esperanto)"

The angry Gresta slapped the table and yelled loudly. After she calmed down and continued to squat in front of the computer and wait for a long few minutes to pass, she reached 99% of the progress bar, but it seemed that she hadn't joked enough with her. , and return to zero again.

Just when she thought the computer was broken and was about to take it and run over to argue with the seller, her eyes blurred as she just stepped out of the house, but she returned to the computer again to stare at the [1%] progress. Tiaofa was stunned.

Gresta finally noticed something was wrong around her...

It doesn't seem to be a problem with the computer that downloaded the file, nor is it a problem with the speed of the network, and it doesn't even have anything to do with me.

Rather, the entire world was instantly reset after these short minutes.

Gresta was the first to think of the culprit who could do this, and there was no one other than the white-haired loli, but she couldn't figure out why she had come back here again, and it was still going on. He launched the Time Curse, World, to lock the time of the entire Durnoy continent in an infinite loop within this short period of less than 10 minutes.

While he was thinking, the time reset twice again.

And each reset seems to take no more than 10 minutes, but there are long and short.

So Gresta temporarily put down the never-ending progress bar in the computer in front of her, and began to wait for the next reset.

This time, seven minutes and 20 seconds... The time resets and a new cycle begins.

The moment she returned to the posture of squatting on the chair, Gresta seized the time to rush out of the gate of the Witch's House, waved a broom and sat on it, and shot towards the sky like a sharp sword.

Now all the living and non-living bodies in the entire Durnoy continent are trapped in the sudden time loop, and because I have the witch's eye, I am the only person who can be affected by the time curse world. Keep the memory of the last cycle.

In other words, if this cycle continues, the only one who will be tortured crazy like this is himself.Because other people don’t understand the time loop at all.

occur!

In order to find out why that guy Leticia suddenly lost his mind, Gresta had to search the entire Durnoy continent in a few minutes, and first rule out the place where the abnormality occurred, right? on my side.

Of course, there is also a very, very small part of the reason, because in order to atone for sin, I have to "slightly" take on the responsibility of protecting the world from being destroyed by abnormalities.

After all, when Leticia was not around, I, the sinner who once made the entire Durnoy continent miserable, was the [strongest] fighting force.

Gresta plans to patrol in the four directions of east, west, north and south at the fastest speed. After going through the next five time loops, she finally ruled out any anomalies that would cause the world to collapse on this planet during this period.

If the problem is not on my side, then it must be somewhere else.

Gresta was relieved at first. Since it was not her responsibility, she didn't have to worry that she would be blamed if something happened later, but she felt even more puzzled.

Eight minutes and 50 seconds... No. 12 time resets.

Gresta, who was squatting in front of the computer, held her forehead and sighed forcefully.

"What kind of trouble did that guy Leticia run into? He needs to keep the time of the entire universe completely locked in a cycle of less than 10 minutes! Can you stop doing it!!"

She felt that it would definitely not be a problem to continue like this, and it was very likely that Leticia could not solve this incident with her own strength.

If it is said that with her strength and identity as a curse god, it cannot be solved by such frequent and continuous resets of the timeline, it may be a huge trouble for the entire universe.

……

"No, in order to see the latest updated book...for the wives' creations, and to uncover the treasure...Bah, bah, bah!"

——In order to save the world, Gresta knew that she could no longer be a salted fish!

Since she has the ability to know what happened, she must at least figure out what happened, otherwise the memory will keep circulating, and she can't stand the picture of the progress bar jumping back and forth—the blood pressure is about to explode!

Nine minutes and 17 seconds... No. 15 time resets.

Gresta took a deep breath, slowly lifted the bangs covering the front of the other eye, waved the wand, tapped it on the eyelid, and recited the spell.

"I will see through everything behind this cause and effect and time, and the price of following the contract—give me eyes that can see through fire."

The seals were removed layer by layer, and the vertical pupil of the dragon, which was divided into black and white by a clear boundary line, slowly opened, followed by a huge sea of ​​information filled with all of his cognition...

Use the next coming cycle to detect the location of the source of the fluctuations sweeping the entire world, and then in the next cycle, peek at the source of the waves sweeping and erupting.

But even though the approximate location of the source attack was found in the No. 15 cycle, in the No. 16 cycle, Gresta still miscalculated the distance from the source of the outbreak to her.

"Why is it so far away?!"

It has even left the entire Durnoy star galaxy, and is heading for a more distant deep space...

"It seems that things are really a little messy."

Recording the maximum distance that can be traced back at present, Gresta once again ushered in the No.17 cycle, and continued to explore the source from the coordinates of the last interruption, until looking through the entire boundless starry sky, to find the one who is in the universe. Another terrifying figure fighting alone, Gresta spent a total of four hours.

【No. 40 Six time loops. 】

At the last second, Gresta finally saw Leticia being cut into two halves in the dark starry sky.

She was so startled that she opened her mouth wide and took a deep breath.

"No way? That guy Leticia actually..."

The figure that was fighting Leticia was very familiar to her, because it was the invisible existence that she peeked out from Isabella's memory. Of course, she had seen it before, at the flea market in Fliss Over there, there was a relationship.

Cheng Rang, an unimaginably powerful... lunatic.

As the line of sight was pulled back to the main body, No.40's seven time loops began.

Gresta hugged her legs and curled up on the chair in a daze in a daze. At this time, she finally got a glimpse of the desperate truth, knowing why the time cycle intervals are always different, some are long and some are short.

Because at the end of each cycle, Leticia suffered a tragic defeat in a battle with the beast that came out of the cage.

And the beginning of the next cycle is the moment when Leticia, who has experienced all the defeats before, stands in front of him again.

Gresta knew it, and Leticia must know it better than her.

No one can beat that guy except himself.

The only things that can limit him are cause and effect and time.

So in the shackles called time, time and time again, I tried my best to face the monster again and again.

Fighting again and again, and then losing again and again...

Chapter No.16 Edge of Tomorrow

"Don't watch it, don't watch it... This is simply not something I can interfere with!"

Gresta huddled in her chair, fidgeting.

The battle between the two people triggered the laws of heaven and earth with a wave of their hands, and pulled a planet over and slapped it on their faces.

Damn it, let alone interfering, I guess even just watching would be too much.

Gresta was fortunate that the place where the two fought was far away from here, far beyond the jurisdiction of her ability.

"Just don't come after me, it will always pass anyway..."

She kept persuading herself not to think about those trivial things, but it seemed that God always liked to joke with her today.

I haven't counted how many times I have looked at the progress bar on the screen in front of me and reset it. Just when Gresta was about to hang up, with the violent space fluctuation, a door tore The door to split time and space and the world appeared in front of the Witch's House.

"The Witch's House is closed today!!!"

Gresta yelled and covered her ears and felt like crying, listening to the rapid knock on the door, she didn't even have to guess who would come here at this time.

That must be her dear apprentice—Isabella Campbell.

The rapid knock on the door was accompanied by Isabella's shout, which seemed to come tirelessly. Gresta looked at the 30% progress bar on the screen, cursed secretly and had to jump off the chair. Stride to the door and pull it open.

"Teacher Gresta!" Isabella anxiously wanted to say something to Gresta who opened the door impatiently.

But Gresta, who spoke faster than her, said in a daze: "What are you doing here now? Hurry up and go back! I gave you my wand so that you can rescue soldiers, not to let you come to die!"

"Ms. Gresta...you know everything?"

Isabella showed a surprised expression. She had just come here, but Gresta seemed to know everything and refused her request to speak out, and ordered herself to go back immediately.

During the period when Cheng Rang took Xiaomo to study, Isabella, who had further practiced with Leticia, finally got back her own magic wand—the Heart of Qiyao.

But Leticia told her that the only function of this magic wand was to bring in reinforcements when she and Cheng Rang failed to resolve the matter of "Mo".

"It cannot be used in any other circumstances. Don't you have a wand given to you by your husband now?" Leticia said at the time.

As soon as Isabella saw Gresta's current appearance, she immediately understood what was happening. She stretched out her foot and blocked the door forcefully, and asked the teacher in front of her: "Mr. Gresta, do you already know what happened? Already?! Now they need our help, you can't just ignore it!"

"Why do I care? This has nothing to do with me! Don't say anything else, you are the last person who should come here now, get the hell out of here and go back to your original world!" Gresta doesn't want to see it now It was Isabella's face that arrived.

Because this means that once she appears in this universe locked by the time loop, and does not go back in time before the end of this loop, then there will be an extra person in the reset world line who does not belong to this world at all, She would be stuck here, going through the loop over and over again.

However, for Isabella, who does not have the witch's eyes and cannot understand cause and effect, once she is trapped, she will not have this kind of self-awareness at all. She will always think that she is the first to knock on Gresta's house. Door.

In this way, the part that Gresta needs to worry about is more than a little bit.

"But……"

"No, but, you have to believe that your master can handle it. If you don't go back quickly, there will be no time!" Gresta wanted to push Isabella out of the door.

"But Master, she has not heard from her for a long time. This is far beyond the time we agreed on. I have no choice but to come to you!"

Seeing that Isabella couldn't hold back, Gresta simply let go and asked, "Okay, then let me ask you, do you think I let that guy through the fight? I mean, I have completely turned my back on him and turned him into a The man who recklessly destroys without considering any consequences."

"This……"

"Do you think that Leticia guy can beat him? Can you beat him? If you can't beat him, what can I do!"

"But, at least you can tell me what happened, I'm worried..."

Gresta looked back at the computer screen, and the progress bar had reached a dangerous 85%.

"I don't have time and I can't explain it to you now. You must go back to your original world immediately, or you will—"

Before Gresta could finish her sentence, the scene in front of her changed suddenly in the next second, and she returned to the posture of squatting on the chair again, and the progress bar on the screen in front of her also returned to 1% again.
