“Force Repulsion”!

As that plain and unremarkable gaze was cast his way, Colin didn’t hold back, decisively activating two Golden Cards in quick succession.

The Time Stop effect would completely envelop everyone present…

In a sense, it was also a unique form of protection.

Combined with the effects of Repulsion…

Colin felt as if he were blocking something out, and yet, it was as if he wasn’t.

It seemed…

Nothing had happened?

Just as this thought had begun to surface, Colin was abruptly met with the sight of the area several hundred meters outside the Time Stop zone collapsing instantaneously, turning into a void under some form of assault.

“Damn!”

Colin let out a harsh cry, his eyes widening as he swore for the first time in a while.

Throughout this entire process, he hadn’t noticed anything unusual, hadn’t sensed any attacks coming.

But by the time he came to his senses, everything had already been annihilated…

‘What the hell is this thing? Aside from a slight sense of crisis, I can’t feel anything else…’

Suddenly, Colin remembered the female D Level Personnel when entering the living area.

Not long after she sacrificed herself, the flames were extinguished in an instant.

There were no signs at all.

At the time, he thought it was because time was up, but now he realized that it must have been the doing of this thing.

At this moment, Colin’s heart sank once more.

He noticed the range of the “Time Stop” was actually shrinking, its effect starting to crumble bit by bit from the outermost periphery!

“What the hell, what kind of monster is this?!”

Colin had been using this card for so long, yet this was the first time he had ever seen such a phenomenon.

Most importantly, he still hadn’t seen how he was being attacked.

Suddenly, the pressure on his mind and body increased dramatically.

He immediately used the “Force Repulsion” effect once again.

Some invisible entity was knocked away.

The crumbling stopped.

But another piece of bad news was that the “Time Stop” was reaching its limit!

‘Although I can continue using Time Stop in the next second, during this one second, I might die ten or eight times. This thing is too bizarre; there’s no room for any kind of luck, I must go all out, upgrade to the highest status, and then break out…’

With this thought, Colin unhesitatingly used every tactic at his disposal.

“Colorless Crystal”, “The False Powerhouse”, “Potential Burst”, and the rest…

Once everything was stacked up.

Colin’s body was ablaze, shining as brightly as a little sun.

‘With this, I should be able to resist for a while, then burst out. At the critical moment, I can use this to block.’

Colin pulled out the “Fire Tree Mark”.

Overall, this tree was quite resilient, though it might get completely destroyed after blocking just once, and the consciousness inside would most likely be ruined as well.

But, the death of a mark versus his own death and that of many others was a decision Colin could make without a second thought.

‘I’m sorry, but if it really can’t hold up, you’ll have to be sacrificed.’

Colin took a deep breath, as if hearing the sound of a ticking countdown by his ear.

Just as he was bracing himself to withstand one second before breaking out, he suddenly heard a faint noise coming from one side.

“This is bad!”

Colin abruptly noticed, not far away, on the ground that was obliterated flat, there lay a corpse.

The corpse was wrapped in tattered clothing, the flesh was dried up around the bones, unknown how many years it had been dead.

Under normal circumstances, Colin would not care about such a corpse at all.

But the problem was…

In this area, except for the place covered by the effect of the Golden Cards, all other areas had been directly erased by the unknown attack of “The Night” will.

How could it have deliberately left a body?

Especially since…

Colin could feel that the thing was shuddering, with the sensation that it might stand up at any moment.

Moreover, on its body, there were massive traces of non-human presence, among which was that of the “Night” Descendants!

“We’re in trouble…”

With his eyebrows deeply furrowed, Colin could no longer ponder, as the Time Stop effect was about to end, and everything around began to move!

It was the instant that the “Time Freeze” effect vanished…

Colin felt a surge of intense crisis in his heart; right before he could step forward toward the direction of the gate, his body suddenly felt heavy; he could feel a terrifying force pressing down on him, making it hard for him to move.

The bones in his body, which had been originally stitched together, cracked and broke apart again under this pressure.

As a result, Colin’s body looked extremely distorted.

At the same time, everyone else experienced the same thing, feeling an extraordinarily strong pressure descending upon them, pressing them to the ground, not even able to move their fingers.

They were only affected by the aftermath and were not directly struck.

“Crack.”

A faint sound of bones clashing echoed; Colin internally cursed, sensing trouble.

Right after that, he saw the skeleton on one side suddenly brace itself on the ground with its hands and stand up.

“If I freeze and don’t move later, drag me away immediately.”

Colin transmitted a message to Little Chicken and the others, then divided his consciousness into three parts: the first part further activated the “Golden Seal” given by the Saintess, while the second and third parts poured into “The Sealed Right Hand” and “Time Reversal” respectively.

At this moment, the only thing that could change the situation was this Golden Card, which had not been completely retrieved.

Of course, although it was in a semi out-of-control state.

But from another perspective…

It could also be seen as an “Item Liberation” state, only it was not as controllable as a proper one.

Just then, as Colin was preparing to go all in, he saw the corpse had already stood up, but it did not look towards them. Instead, it directed its hollow eye sockets towards the giant spherical object in mid-air, made up of the “Flood Demon”.
