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

"..."

Gresta opened her eyes wide, and then her expression gradually turned gray.

"You must be joking..."

[Unknown number of time resets, 6 minutes and 01 seconds. 】

This time Leticia's defeat was obviously faster than before. Gresta didn't know what happened there, but it was clear that Leticia's state had declined significantly.

Even though she was an undead person to the letter, what she couldn't forget was that even if she could reverse time by paying the price of activating the Time Curse-World, it would still be a terrible burden for her.

This cycle of reincarnation cannot continue forever. Every time she loses, Leticia will pay a huge price to launch the world. However, each time she is in a better situation than before.

It would be too much for anyone to face Cheng Mo who was always in his prime when he was in a weak state.

"It's fine now..." Gresta wiped her face vigorously, got off the chair and came to the door, and opened the door.

Isabella, who was about to raise her hand to knock on the door, saw her with a surprised expression.

"Ms. Gresta, do you know I'm here?"

Gresta let out a long sigh, "Hey...another trouble."

Isabella blinked her eyes and asked tentatively, "What kind of trouble are you referring to?"

Time passed by, and even Isabella was dragged in at this moment, which was undoubtedly the last thing Gresta wanted to see.So far, she has also become an insider and has no choice but to intervene.

Because although she has an indifferent attitude towards Leticia and Cheng Rang's life and death, but facing Isabella, she still can't maintain a heart of stone and watch her reincarnate again and again.

"Come in!" Gresta dragged Isabella through the door, and told Isabella what she saw at the fastest speed in her life.

However, after speaking all at once, to Gresta's despair, Isabella tugged at her sleeve with a very apologetic expression, and said softly: "Sorry, Teacher Gresta, can you speak slowly?" Hurry up? It's been a long time since I communicated in Esperanto..."

Gresta took a few deep breaths, then tried her best to calm down the feeling of wanting to go crazy, and said slowly: "Tell me a secret that only you know, the shorter the better!"

"Eh? Why did you suddenly ask this when you came up, I'm here—"

"Come here and ask me to help, right, I know! So it's your first time here, right?"

"yes……"

"But in my eyes, you have already entered my house for the second time! Do you understand? That guy Leticia used the final sequence of the Time Curse to cycle the time of this universe before she lost to Cheng Rang. Now, Tell me a secret that only you know, especially one that has never been told to me, so that it will be easier for you to trust me next time you come over!"

"I, I understand." Isabella immediately understood the situation, "I remember, teacher, you were able to ignore the influence of the time curse world because you were against the master before...but I can't."

"Yes, that's what it means!" Gresta even raised her hands and cheered that her apprentice was so smart.

And just as Isabella was about to say something, time reset again.

Gresta was about to blurt out a curse, but she immediately jumped off her chair and rushed out of the gate. In less than a dozen seconds, a space-time gate appeared in the middle of the open space in front of her, and Isabella ran out of it.

She was a little surprised when she saw Gresta waiting at the door, "Ms. Gresta, you just happened to be here! I came here this time to—"

"Isabella shut up and listen to me! We don't have much time, although you can't recognize what's going on now, but you have to trust me."

"But teacher, you are a person who lies and does not type drafts..."

Gresta slapped herself on the forehead forcefully, whimpering.

"Don't worry about it, tell me a secret that only you know, and you haven't told me."

"Do you still want to discuss gossip at this time, Teacher Gresta? I am here to ask you something urgent." Isabella showed a somewhat angry expression.

"I know, I know! So you have to trust me!"

Isabella couldn't realize that she only had so much time, but she was confused by Gresta who was a little emotional in front of her.

"Do you have to say one...?"

"Yes! Now, immediately! Be good and obedient. I will explain to you later!"

Chapter No.17 has already made up its mind

The door that tore time and space reappeared, and Gresta waited here for the first time, and said to Isabella who appeared here for the "third time": "Your badge of the curser, remember that there is what?"

Isabella immediately stood still, showing a surprised expression, and subconsciously grasped the badge of the master of spells pinned to her chest.

"……yes, I remember."

In her cognition, she really just came to find Teacher Gresta.But after hearing this sentence, Isabella immediately knew that it was definitely not the first time she had met her like this.

That was the agreement between Leticia and herself. On the day Isabella graduated as a conjurer, Leticia personally granted her a conjurer badge, and she personally sealed a powerful spell.

【Time Curse·World】

"What I can give you is a chance to make a comeback, Isha."

At that time, Leticia leaned into her ear and whispered softly: "No matter what happens, you have a chance to do it all over again. I believe in you, so please make good use of this opportunity."

"Under the influence of Time Curse·World, almost everyone will not realize that the timeline reset happened, if you even forget what to do after you are reset."

"So as long as someone asks you, "Where's your curser badge, do you remember what's in it?", you will notice that you are already in the reset world, this is what I give you privilege, because you are my proudest disciple..."

"All you have to do is trust that person. No matter who he is, he may not be me, but he must be someone who can guide you to find the direction... In the end

Finally, if the world has been reset, then let go and do all the things you didn't dare to do before, and don't hesitate. "

"Because it is very possible that you have already done all the things you can do in your previous efforts. The opportunity is fleeting, which means that you may not have time to hesitate at all, you know?"

"Yes, Master...I see."

--------------

Isabella looked at Gresta in front of her, clutched the badge on her chest and asked, "Teacher, have I already used this?"

The reason why I came here this time is that Cheng Rang and Leticia left far longer than the scheduled time, and I came to rescue the soldiers just in case.

But if the world has been reset once, does it mean that he failed before?

Thinking of this, Isabella felt that it was difficult to breathe, and she couldn't help feeling flustered.

Although she didn't have any confusion in cognition and memory, she knew at this moment that it wasn't just her first time here.

Gresta waved her hands again and again, "Oh, no, no, of course not! I don't care whether you use it or not, but at least that guy Leticia has been using it!"

"What, Master...? How many times is this?"

"Did I keep counting? There were dozens of times before, and then I couldn't persuade you to go back after you came here. Now you are also in this cycle. By the way, I saw you for the third time. The second time you told me what you said at the beginning, you said it would be useful."

"Is it because of your eyes, teacher?"

"Yes." Gresta nodded.

"You said loop before, time loop, how long do we have?"

Gresta spread her hands and said, "I'm not sure, but it must not exceed 10 minutes."

"What do you need me to do?"

"..."

Gresta was silent for a very short time, and then said frankly: "I don't know."

In one or two sentences, I briefly summarized the current situation for Isabella, that is, on the other side of the distant starry sky, they were fighting for some reason.

"Every time Leticia loses, the time will reset, and you will come here." Gresta raised her forehead and said, "Maybe your husband is crazy."

"No, it's not like that!"

"what?"

Isabella then informed Gresta of Cheng Rang and Leticia's plan, "Master has been resetting the world now, but this is just a battle on the surface. What really needs to be solved is to find the truth in the inner world Memories from before."

"That is to say—?"

"Master needs to delay time, and only by delaying enough time can this cycle stop!"

Gresta took a breath, "I probably understand the situation, but I have some bad news for you..."

"what?"

"Your master doesn't seem to be able to last any longer. Now the cycle time is getting shorter every time. The last time it was even less than 6 minutes. The longest one before can last more than nine minutes."

"Then we should help him!" Isabella said without hesitation.

"How can I help? Wouldn't it be a death to go there? You have admitted before that neither you nor I can beat him!"

"Have we been there before?" Isabella asked.

"What? Did you fight in the past, of course not!"

"Then I will try this time."

[If it is already a reset world, then let go and do all the things you didn't dare to do before, and don't have any hesitation. 】

Gresta looked back at the time: "But we should be too late this time."

"Then next time..."

Isabella's eyes became more and more determined from the initial panic.

"Remember what you said to me after peeping into my life with the witch's eyes?"

Gresta pursed her lips, of course she remembered.

I once said that Cheng Rang is too powerful, so powerful that nothing can stop him, as long as he is overwhelmed by the constant entanglement of karma one day, he will become a madman scarier than the devil.

And the girl in front of her said, "Then I will be the one who can stop him."

Gresta lied at the time, saying that she had seen through the past and the future, and had seen everything he had done.

But Isabella silenced herself with just one question.

She asked: "Then can you tell me, did I succeed in going to stop him?"

Isabella had already been prepared at that time, ready to be his enemy.

And all the preparations are just to get to today's situation.

"Ms. Gresta, please take me there next time we meet." Isabella held Gresta's somewhat cold hand, conveying warmth to her palm.

"In that dark world, I will stand before him and be his light."

"I don't care if I die."

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I will die sooner or later. Rather, if I die, I can become an angel to protect you, can't I?"

Gresta clenched her teeth tightly, almost squeezing out words from between her teeth.

"I won't let you die before me, Isabella."

----------------

As time reset again, Gresta, who was squatting on a chair, had a heavy expression. She closed her eyes and thought for a moment until she heard the sound outside the door.

He heard the footsteps getting closer and closer, and then he stretched out his hand to summon the wand.

Opening the door, he faced the girl standing in front of him for the fourth time.

"Where's your curser badge, do you remember what's in it?"

She looked surprised for a moment, then nodded gravely.

"Yes."

"—Let's go." Gresta walked out of the Witch's House first and came to the open space.

"Where?"

As the taboo spell was chanted, the tip of the wand in Gresta's hand slashed from top to bottom, tearing the space open with deep black cracks.

"You go and stop him..."

Gresta stepped into it without hesitation, and looked back at Isabella behind her.

"I'll save you."

Chapter 18 Endgame

With a huge roar, Leticia, who was kicked off the ground by Cheng Mo from the air, hit the hard rocky ground with her back, and continued to crack the ground backwards without losing momentum, plowing a long gully.

"Cough cough...!"
