Chapter 272: The Sound of a Heartbeat!
The voice that Aster Grant squeezed out from between his teeth sent a bone-chilling fear straight to the Bone Demon’s heart, a fear he hadn’t felt even after countless battles.
Could this human still have a trump card?
The Bone Demon’s gaze instantly became alert.
But when his gaze swept over Aster Grant’s Beastbond companions, who had completely lost their combat abilities, that alertness in the Bone Demon’s eyes quickly turned into mockery.
This human seems yet to recognize reality!
As a Beast Tamer, after all his beasts have lost the ability to fight, he still dares to talk tough in front of him.
"I gave you a chance!"
The Bone Demon’s bone claw pointed at Lazuli, "If you had surrendered, this beast wouldn’t have had to die!"
"All of this... is your own doing!"
Beastbond... death...
Those two words completely dyed Aster Grant’s pupils a blood red.
His gaze slowly scanned the battlefield:
Lazuli lay quietly in a pool of blood, the little girl who always followed him, aspiring to become the sharpest sword in his hand...
At this moment, she lay quietly on the ground with not a breath of life.
Lazuli, no matter how strong her fighting power was, her strength was only at the Commander Peak.
Impossible to exist like those at Totem Level...
Even if she had lost her heart... as long as she exhausts the energy within her body, she could be resurrected!
To Lazuli, losing her heart meant....
Death!
Aster Grant’s palm slowly clenched.
His gaze turned to the other side:
Vera, Veridia, and Lilith all lay powerlessly on the ground.
Vera’s emerald hair was covered in dust, the Ghost Race maiden’s skin as pale as paper, and the enchanting red eyes of the Blood Progenitor were dim and dull...
All of this was indicating to him that in front of this Demon Clan member, he had reached a dead end!
Even having fought with all he had, he could not defeat this Demon Clan member!
And noticing Aster Grant’s actions, the Bone Demon spoke mockingly with full sarcasm:
"Still dreaming of resistance? With your beasts that can’t even stand?"
He admitted this human’s Beastbond power was terrifying, and his talent was the strongest he had ever seen.
No Beastbond had Totem Level strength, however...
They managed to push him to the limit with power below the Totem level.
Even the Bone Dragon that had always accompanied him had fallen here.
But...
But that was as far as it went!
The bone claw rose slowly, Demonic Qi gathered once more:
"Since you refuse to hand over the Divine Pattern, I’ll take it myself——"
Before the words were fully spoken, he suddenly stopped.
He saw that all the emotions in Aster Grant’s eyes had disappeared, leaving only an absolute, chilling coldness that made one’s heart palpitate.
That gaze.... seemed to be looking at a dead object.
"Sally!"
The calm two words made the Soul Fire of the Bone Demon tremble dramatically!
He raised his head sharply, seeing a petite figure had appeared behind Aster Grant without him knowing.
At that moment, Sally’s usually gentle eyes were burning with unprecedented fury.
The revered Lady Lazuli was lying before her.
Sally’s gaze was fixed intently on the Demon Clan member.
This Bone Demon...
Unforgivable!
The existence that harmed Lady Lazuli must die!
Sensing Sally’s killing intent, the Bone Demon instinctively tensed.
But upon perceiving that Sally possessed only a Legendary Level talent and Commander Level strength, he immediately relaxed.
Even Myth Level Beastbond had fallen at his hands, such an enemy posed no real threat.
"Running out of tricks?"
The Bone Demon’s face curved with mockery, "Summoning such trash..."
But Bone Demon’s words were cut off by Aster Grant’s cold voice.
"Sally, Time Reversal!"
[Sally]
[Level: Commander Tier Nine]
[Talent: Legend One Star]
[Race: Chronospirit Clan]
[Power: 1]
[Constitution: 1]
[Spiritual: 100000]
[Speed: 1]
[Skills: Time Freeze, Time Slowdown, Time Reversal]
The energy gained from Vera and Veridia eliminating many Demon Clan members had allowed Sally to successfully ascend to Commander Tier Nine.
As her level rose, Sally awakened new skills.
Her original two skills, Time Freeze could stop time flow in a part of the region, and Time Slowdown could slow the flow of time in a part of the region.
As for the newly emerged Time Reversal....
It could reverse the flow of time in a part of the region.
But to gain this power....
All Sally’s attributes, except for the Spiritual Attribute, were eternally locked at 1 point.
However, in exchange, her extraordinary spiritual power...
Even with only Legend One Star talent, her spiritual attribute surpassed all Beastbond!
And upon hearing Aster Grant’s command, Sally finally used her ability for the first time on the battlefield.
Her amber cat pupils suddenly transformed into radiant golden clocks.
The profound Power of Time Spirit surged like a tide, with a silvery-white glare enveloping Lazuli’s area precisely.
Before the Bone Demon’s incredulous stare, time began to reverse!
The splattered golden blood defied gravity, returning to the chest cavity, the shattered heart fragments automatically pieced together and healed, the shocking wound disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye...
Seeing this scene, the Bone Demon’s Soul Fire quaked madly, completely overturning his understanding.
What is this?
That Angel had clearly been killed by him, he had genuinely felt the Angel’s death.
Yet now why....
The Bone Demon’s face instantly soured.
"What kind of bizarre ability is this?!"
The Bone Demon finally realized the seriousness of the problem.
No wonder earlier, even after all his Beastbond had fallen, this human did not choose to flee.
Turns out there was such a trump card hidden!
It’s just....
This power to reverse life and death must come at a tremendous cost!
This is the law of conservation in the universe!
On one side being extremely strong, which means being equally weak on the other.
"Boom——!!!"
He transformed into a streak of black lightning rushing towards Sally, the speed of Totem Two Turn tearing through space.
If he allowed her to continue using her ability, then this Angel...
might truly come back to life!
He must kill this peculiar Cat Clan member and this human before that happens!
It’s just...
Sally doesn’t only have Time Reversal as a skill!
Perhaps to compensate for the drawback of having only 1 point in all other attributes for the Chronospirit Clan.
The Chronospirit Clan can release multiple skills simultaneously.
"Time Slowdown!"
Sally’s light words seemed to carry a strange magic.
The Bone Demon, terrified, found himself ensnared in what felt like a viscous mire of time and space, every movement required a thousandfold more effort!
"Damn it!"
He roared madly in his heart, yet his thoughts remained extraordinarily clear.
And seeing the fear on the Demon Clan member’s face, Aster Grant realized...
Currently, the time abilities Sally used were still not complete.
They seemed to only affect the temporal aspect of the physical world!
Unable to influence anything on the spiritual level.
For example...
A true Time Stop would not only slow this Bone Demon’s body, but even his thoughts would be slowed.
It’s just...
Right now, Sally hasn’t reached that level.
Aster Grant guessed that maybe if Sally fused with the Chronospirit Clan’s Divine Pattern, she could truly master time abilities.
But for now, Sally’s abilities were sufficient.
During the time she held the Bone Demon at bay, Lazuli’s body had recovered completely!
"Thud!"
The sound of a heartbeat suddenly resonated!
