Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops

No matter whether it was Erik or the victims who had been deleted by Matsusaka Shigeki in the past, they all mentioned one crucial piece of information during the disclosed battle process.

Matsusaka Shigeki was a perverted guy.

Even so, the first time Qin Chuan met Matsusaka Shigeki, he couldn't help but feel a chilling sensation, and his eyebrows involuntarily knitted together.

This had nothing to do with strength, but purely an aversion to the other's insincere smile devoid of any warmth.

"Are you alone?" Qin Chuan's eyes flickered slightly before he suddenly spoke, "Shouldn't Traceless be here too?"

"Traceless?" Matsusaka Shigeki's smile brightened a bit more, "I indeed covet her skills; if she were really by my side, I would be the first to kill her."

Qin Chuan was noncommittal.

He wanted to test which of the two possibilities of hiding the ranking list Matsusaka Shigeki might be using, but unfortunately, the other party didn't fall for his bait.

Since that was the case, it was better to prepare for the worst possibility in the upcoming fight.

Beside him, Yue Li quietly squeezed Qin Chuan's hand.

Qin Chuan turned his head and noticed that Yue Li was still shrouded in a dim halo.

It was triple luck.

Prayer's second talent lasted for ten minutes, and at this moment, Matsusaka Shigeki had come too quickly; the time hadn't completely passed yet.

Matsusaka Shigeki's timing, neither too early nor too late, arriving just as Xiaoqing broke through to Hall Rank and they found the Hall Crystal before the end of the second talent of Prayer, was in itself a manifestation of luck taking effect.

However, no matter what, Qin Chuan knew he couldn't waste any more time talking with this guy in front of him.

Water Flower stepped on the pale blue ripples at her feet, transforming into a water-blue long rainbow, instantly rushing toward Matsusaka Shigeki, while above his head, Xiaoqing was even faster, soaring high while a violent wind swept around.

The terrifying pressure from two Hall Rank beasts instantly bore down, causing even Matsusaka Shigeki's smile to momentarily freeze.

When he realized the appearance of a second Spiritual Beast in the Hall Rank on the Spiritual Beast List, he knew he was ultimately one step too late.

Fortunately, these two Hall Rank beasts had not leveled up yet.

Hall Rank Lv30, though powerful, was limited in strength.

"Make your move." The corners of his mouth twisted in a hint of ferocity and cruelty, and the three Spiritual Beasts behind him suddenly merged into one, forming a monstrous creature that seemed pieced together.

This monster let out a strange sound, like the simultaneous roar of three different beasts, and swung its paw toward the inevitable path of Water Flower's charge.

Water Flower didn't stop, a bright light burst instantly from the Shape-shifting Water Crown atop her head, activating the "Stargleam 9" grade ability, and a roar echoed.

The monster's paw was mysteriously paralyzed in mid-air; in that brief moment, the well-coordinated Xiaoqing had already plummeted from the sky.

The blooming Starshine Equipment boosted its speed by 270%, and the sharp wind on its wings transformed into long blades, the Instant Wind Slash activated instantly, harshly slashing down at the monster.

At the same moment, from the shadow under the monster, a pitch-black flame emerged.

Silver Horn took advantage of this and immediately activated Shadow Erosion, and despite the huge disparity in strength, it managed to leave a slight shadow erosion mark on the opponent.

But its purpose had been achieved.

[Armor Break], activated!

Before Xiaoqing's blade truly hit the monster's giant claw, Silver Horn's intervention caused its defense to drop by 50% instantly!

Would it work?

Qin Chuan and Yue Li watched the battle that erupted in a blink of an eye with bated breath.

On the other side, Matsusaka Shigeki's smile grew even brighter.

"Extremely interesting~" He suddenly exclaimed excitedly, and at the same time, a golden glow flickered briefly around his body.

"Boom boom boom—"

With a deep rumbling sound spreading, the monster, whose body was momentarily paralyzed by Water Flower's Blood Control Ability, and not yet recovered, suddenly raised its head.

Its strength climbed sharply, instantly surpassing several times its previous level, and with it, its attack, defense, and other attributes rose—even in the state of[Armor Break], Xiaoqing's slash only left a shallow bloody mark on the opponent's giant claw.

And the monster, regaining its ability to move, lifted its giant paw and, with a speed almost blurring into afterimages, fiercely grabbed at Xiaoqing who hadn't had the chance to change direction in mid-air.

"Crack—"

An ice-blue figure timely appeared in front of the monster's giant claw, bringing with it a blizzard swept up by fierce winds, rapidly spreading layers of frost from the monster's claw, instantly sealing the creature in ice!

"Frost Freeze," activated!

"Squawk—"

Startled and enraged, Xiao Qing didn't hesitate to retaliate, gathering a terrifying green light swiftly in front of it, within which seemed to condense boundless, mad winds. Accompanied by another cry, it blasted towards the monster like a cannon.

It was the skill she had newly acquired after breaking through to Hall Rank, "Star·Residual Wind Shattering Dome."

Accompanying the attack that accurately hit the frosted, immobile opponent, tiny, meticulous cracks of illusion appeared all around it.

"Slicing," activated!

"Ying!"

Reappearing, the ice cream immediately slashed at the wound Xiao Qing had just inflicted.

Nearly at the same instant, Matsusaka Shigeki felt a chill wind blow by, a cold enveloping him.

On the other side, Qin Chuan was covered in a halo of light.

Yue Li gently lowered her clasped hands.

"Prayer Third Talent," activated!

Under the increment of such fortune, "Frost Annihilation's" critical hit triggered!

Accompanied by the monster's scream, a giant claw was instantly severed!

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

Oriel stood behind Qin Chuan and Yue Li, quietly watching the two of them, as well as the rapidly changing battle.

She had witnessed the full extent of Matsusaka Shigeki's strength not for the first time.

But that Luo and Yue Li's Spiritual Beasts could counter and grievously wound him, was unexpected to Oriel.

It's no wonder they, as players with the Gold Talent involving rare resources, had enough means to indulge in the cultivation of their Spiritual Beasts.

She could feel that each of their Pet Beasts had been carefully selected and nurtured from the Juvenile Stage.

For these players, using a piece of Rare Resources for their third Spiritual Beast, consuming a large amount of Starshine Equipment Material to make Starshine Equipment, was indeed a lavish act.

That meant there was a significant gap in individual combat power between their Spiritual Beasts.

Matsusaka Shigeki's "Soul Fusion" and "Ascension" could only last for five minutes.

If it continued like this, Matsusaka Shigeki would lose.

And without this help, she would not be able to achieve her goal.

It was time for her to make a move.

With a flicker in her eyes, Oriel set her sights on the little purple hovering beside Yue Li.

Unlike the tense little red vigilantly looking around, the opponent's attention was entirely focused on the current battle, overly excited and completely unguarded against hidden dangers.

It must be that one.

Oriel signaled her three Spiritual Beasts with a glance.

The three Spiritual Beasts gathered their full strength and struck instantaneously.

"Zzala—"

Accompanied by a streak of lightning, unable to restrain its eagerness for battle, little purple didn't wait for Yue Li's command and an "Instant Thunder Flash" materialized above the fusion monster's head. Its fists, wrapped in thunder, struck violently.

In the same instant, the full-force attack of the three Spiritual Beasts hit the afterimage left by little purple.

Eh?

Oriel's pupils contracted, and as she turned to look at Yue Li and Luo, cold sweat "whooshed" down.
