Chapter 187: True Meteor

Days later... inside the realm without time anyway, Avion sat up from laying on the ground. This time, Darea didn't offer her laps which made his sleep uncomfortable.

Meanwhile, the Conqueress herself was near him, meditating with her legs crossed.

'Should I wake her up?'

"You're awake." a soft but cold voice reached Avion's ears at the same time he was pondering.

"Yes, Master." he replied while inwardly, he thought, 'I really can't get used to her closed eyes. When she stayed extremely still, I always think that she's sleeping... Hmm... I just learned that other people can't sleep in just any position, so it's just me, I shouldn't apply that to her.'

Without opening her eyes, Darea stood up and said, "Rest time is over. Let's see if you can kill that thing before it can kill you."

Avion shivered, 'She says the scariest thing without batting an eye. Wait... without... yeah, without batting an eye if she opens them.'

He looked around and saw that the giant was now standing up. For them, days have already passed by, but in the real world, an hour had yet to even come by.

In exchange for this, Avion was able to throw Meteor Showers every time. The giant had a harder time defending itself.

Darea is already an old monster, if she prepares for it, a week is nothing to her. She wouldn't get bored by it. The older you are, the more patient you become.

In contrast, the reason she was so frustrated before she met Avion was that she didn't have any idea and when the stopping of time come or end. To someone who rules and was used to have everything dancing on her palm, she was irritated to wait, not knowing when the stoppage of time will end.

Deactivating-activating the stoppage of time in a flash, Avion took dozens of pebbles just lying around.

Although the giant was Rank Ey, it was the best enemy for Avion. If it was before, then Avion would've no chance with his feeble mortal assassination techniques even if he were to perfect it. Now that he had created Blast Throws, this giant is just a big target for him.

As of now, the giant's head was blown away with its shoulder, leaving a huge cave on its upper torso. Its arms were raised to make a puny attempt to guard against the incoming projectiles.

The person inside had realized how much of danger it is now.

"It may use a elesp now with its instincts telling it. This is the last hit, what will you do?" Darea asked.

"Hmm..." Avion massaged his chin in thought. He glanced and saw how the queen was about to die from Galion's hands. With the stoppage of time, he was confident that he could catch up with the king who has the princess no matter how King Isero had traveled.

'The only problem is, I don't know about their location.' however, that wasn't really much of an obstacle. If it comes to it, he will just have to travel in all direction to scout for them.

Once his sight is on them, he can lay in ambush and take the princess without the king even knowing.

'No, that's impossible. Once I got the princess, I can't stop time.' Avion began biting the side of his finger. He had already thought of this while he was meditating these past few days. He was just recollecting it, hoping to figure a solution with his head now  clear.

After a few thoughts, he shook his head, 'I should think about that later on.' his eyes then landed on the giant.

Meanwhile, Darea was staring at him. Her eyelids were a bit raised, showing half of her moon-like pupils, lightly glowing in a silver translucence.

She had been doing this frequently. With her superior senses, she would close her eyes before Avion could even see her. She was currently in her original form which blocked her thoughts from reaching Avion.

After a while, Darea immediately closed them when Avion turned to her, oblivious of what she had been doing.

"Master, can you bring me up there?" Avion pointed.

Darea raised an eyebrow, "You want me to bring you there? Why?"

"I thought of a new attack." he nonchalantly replied, "Though I'm still not sure if it will work."

"You think that I will save you there?"

"You will not?"

"..." Darea sighed which made Avon smiled.

Meanwhile, on the real world.

[Use an elesp!]

'Ancestor Haliviana spoke to me again!' Prince Julio thought, 'Use an elesp? Wouldn't that be meaningless? I only know Rank Dih Elesps. It would be a waste since I am already Rank Ey.'

[NATURAL ELESP!]

'That's right! Since I have assimilated Rank Bih Elemental Beasts, I should have their natural elesps on me! I'm such a genius! Since it seemed like there are multiple enemies casting outre offensive elesps, I should use the strongest and biggest attack!'

Prince Julio finally reached an enlightenment and the elemental energy around him surged. His giant body shook and the rubbles moved on its own.

'Land Overthrowing Elesp!' Prince Julio willed and a Rank Bih Elesp activated. With still more than dozens of beasts' souls inside him, this offensive elesp was magnified surpassing a normal Rank Ey Elesp!

Meanwhile, in the stoppage of time, Avion was currently above the clouds, carrying a giant rock.

"I hope you don't disintegrate before you reach your target." Avion patted the giant sturdy rock.

Two arms were wrapped around his body. Darea took him up there in that position. It doesn't need to be that close, she can just carry one of his arm up but Avion didn't complain.

"Are you sure? I won't show up if you don't stop time. If you're accidentally delayed for even a single second, you may die."

"I'm sure and this will be the strongest Blast Throw I will give. I will use Overclock eight times if I can!" Avion grinned, wondering how this will work. It's not that he was fearless but he was ignoring his cold insides.

"Overclock eight times and you will dropped the rock in its fastest falling speed..." even Darea was intrigued on how much damage this one will cause.

She herself wasn't afraid of meteors even if one dropped on her head right now. But although that wouldn't kill her, that would somehow injure her.

An attack that could injure the Conqueress...

'Avion is getting dangerous every time.' instead of worrying, Darea smiled instead.

"You can drop me anytime, mas- Woahh!" Avion was caught surprise as he felt his stomach suddenly pushed his insides up. 

His scream resounded in the stoppage of time. His body uncontrollably rolled in the air as his black mask was taken off from its relentless flutter.

Avion frowned in concentration while not knowing that his face cracked at the same time. Seconds later, he was able to stabilize his fall as he held the rock tight.

Midway his fall, Avion's eyes widened in determination.

"True Meteor!" reaching what he thinks the fastest fall - terminal velocity - he further threw the rock down with all he got, slightly increasing its speed.

Time then resumed.

Overclock!
