What appeared in front of Albert was a turtle-like monster equipped with heavy armor.
"Before you start fighting, please confirm the newly changed terms." The shadow representing the abyss handed some kind of document to Albert: "Once the terms are confirmed and agreed to, they will be processed according to this. Then,
Mr. Albert must defeat the last four warriors of the Namulans within a month to stop the large-scale sacrifice. If you fail, the sacrifice will start on the hour after one month.
.A large number of people will die in your real world."
"Yes, of course." Albert took the document and read it back and forth, fearing that the abyss forces had added some hidden conditions that would be detrimental to him.
The surrounding world is still pitch black, and objects only have white outlines. In other words, the flow of time in this alien space is still meaningless, almost stationary and extending indefinitely. But as long as Albert agrees to the terms, time will start again.
The flow will flow at a ratio of 10:1 to reality. Ten hours here is one hour in the real world, and one month here is about three days in the real world.
According to the terms, Albert was supposed to defeat the warriors of the ancient gods and humans within this month to save the world. But according to Mutt's plan, this was not the case. It would be twenty days later (two days in the real world).
After that) began to cooperate with the people outside to launch an attack to destroy this alien space. The reason why we chose twenty days was because we were afraid that people in the real world would not have enough time to gather military strength in a short period of time, so we gave the outsiders at least two days.
time to prepare. On Albert's side, he has to survive twenty days of fighting. He cannot kill the enemy too early or overtime. Albert must continue to act and try his best to kill the enemy in front of him.
Three ancient warriors to prevent the abyss forces from becoming suspicious.
I always find it so troublesome...
"What is Article 7?" Albert asked: "If I am defeated in a battle...will I lose the memory of that battle?"
"Yes." The black shadow speaking for the abyss said: "In view of the previous change of terms, the people of Namulus have no way to know the techniques you use in battle by watching the battle. Similarly, if you are defeated in a certain battle,
Even if you are defeated, you won't be able to retain the memory of that battle. Isn't this fair?"
Albert thought for a while.
"That is to say, if I encounter an opponent that I have never defeated, I won't even be able to retain the memory of the previous battle. I will always be stuck in the state before challenging that opponent, and I won't even remember that I lost. Meow
.Why does Meow seem to be playing a game..."
"Exactly. Because the duel has included a condition that you will never die in battle. Under the premise of this condition, it is naturally impossible for you to retain the memory. Let's rely on the memory of the previous failure to challenge the same opponent again."
"...Okay. That's fair." Albert hummed. He read the terms carefully and made sure there were no problems before he nodded and said, "I accept these terms. You can start implementing them."
"Very good." The black figure representing the abyss snapped his fingers, and the whole world began to change.
Time began to flow. The originally dark world began to turn gray. Time in this alien space was flowing at one-tenth the speed of reality. Albert still had one month left to prevent the world from being destroyed.
.
"Can the fight finally begin?" The ancient warrior who had been deployed there for a long time said, "The creator race, the guardian Jean Nero, is here to ask for advice."
"The Fierce Fang Clan, Albert Roble, is here to ask for advice." The tiger man young man also responded, and at the same time drew his weapon: "How strange. Didn't Arbiter Mel say last time that I would face him in the next battle?
You are your strongest warrior, meow? But... I can’t feel that [strongest] aura from you?”
"Did Mel say that?" The other party replied: "Well, but you are right, I am not the strongest. Our champion's appearance order has been moved to the end. Since the terms of the duel have been changed, our side
Corresponding changes must be made, that’s all.”
"Don't let your champion come out to face me, meow?" Albert snorted and said, "Maybe he is strong enough to beat me continuously until the time limit ends?"
"No need." Guardian Jean hummed: "I can hold you back forever."
Hold. He did use this word. It should not be a translation problem. Or there was no translation at all. In this alien space, Albert and these ancient people did not speak the same language. The other party spoke a lot of Ai
Albert couldn't understand the words originally. But there is some special mechanism in this different space similar to telepathy. Albert can understand the meaning of the other party's words just by hearing the other party's words. So this is not "
"Translation", but the other party directly conveyed the meaning he wanted to express to Albert's mind when he spoke. The other party's words contained the meaning of "hold", then he really wanted to "hold" Albert.
Albert.
The next second, Guardian Jean directly retracted the exposed part of his body into the turtle-like shell. Then the guy stayed where he was, with no intention of attacking Albert at all.
"Eh...?" The tiger man youth was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand what was going on.
"Hufufufu..." Gene's sinister sneer came from inside the turtle shell: "The combat outerwear I use combines all of our technical capabilities and is made of [theoretically indestructible] material. Just stay there and take care of yourself."
Struggle, try to break my shell. Keep struggling, keep struggling, until the end of time!"
What Albert was most worried about happened. The ancients had no intention of having a fair and head-on confrontation with Albert. They just wanted to delay. The time limit was one month. As long as the time was delayed, it would be the victory of the ancients. And
Even if Albert had a way to break through the first three ancient warriors, there would still be one strongest ancient warrior waiting for him who would be the champion.
...so cunning.
Forget it. Albert raised the Luna steel scimitar and applied lightning rosin on it.
"I tried it like this a long time ago." He smiled broadly and walked closer to his opponent.
"It's useless. If you say it's useless, it's useless." Guardian Jean's voice came from the extremely hard carapace: "As long as my shell is closed, all your weapons will be ineffective against me."
"Completely closed... also means you can't attack me?"
The other party did not answer. There was no need for Guardian Jean to attack Albert. He did not need to take any risks, as long as he kept delaying it. Judging from the body structure of these ancient people, it was completely inappropriate for them to go without eating or drinking for a month.
question.
However, this does not mean that they do not need to breathe. No, ancient people may not really need to breathe, but this guy definitely has something like an exhaust hole on his body, otherwise his voice would not be able to come out of the shell so clearly.
Internally transmitted.
Albert wanted to bet on this possibility. He jumped directly on top of Jean's hard carapace and took out something from his storage pocket.
The other party remained silent, as if there was no way to see what Albert was doing. That's right, if you want to maintain the hardness of the carapace so that there are no blind spots, then no camera or video receiving device can be installed on the combat exterior.
Even a small camera will become a structural weakness, and Albert will have a chance to find it.
——But Guardian Jean can’t see what Albert is doing outside the shell. Isn’t this considered a weakness?
What Albert took out from his storage pocket was a small bottle. The small bottle is also a product of subspace magic. Like the storage pocket, the subspace inside can be used to store a large number of objects - especially
,liquid.
Half an hour(?) ago.
"Speaking of which, is this bath water real?" Albert played with the water in the bath and asked curiously: "Could it be something conjured by the abyss using some kind of magic?"
"According to my observation, this water should be an object that exists in reality." Eric, the strategist who was in the same bath, replied: "They probably used some kind of space channel such as a portal to bring the water from the outside world.
Let’s introduce it to a different space."
"And it happens to be hot spring water?" Albert's nose twitched: "This very faint but barely identifiable smell of sulfur is very similar to the hot springs in my hometown."
"That is to say, the abyss is so omnipotent that even the hot springs in the real world are diverted here." Eric replied without thinking.
"That means that somewhere near this spring pool, there is a spatial passage connecting the real world." Albert focused on a strange place.
"I advise you to give up." Strategist Eric said: "They must have hidden that kind of space passage very well. It is impossible for you to find it so easily, and then use it to endanger the stability of this subspace."
"But……"
"If you act rashly here and sniff around, you will only alert the enemy and let the abyss forces notice what you are planning." Eric lowered his voice: "It's better for you to be more honest now. If you want to find a space passage, at least
You have to keep that kitten nearby to give you some relief."
"That's right." Albert gave up simply, knowing that doing so would do more harm than good.
But he did not give up, and still took out a bottle from the storage pocket on the side and tried to put the hot spring water in it.
"What are you doing?"
"Test to see if the water in this pool is living water." Albert said: "Regardless of whether there is a certain space channel to replenish hot spring water for it. Now I just want to know whether the spring water is replenished at any time. This subspace
The space of the bottle is enough to hold two tons of water. If the hot spring pool is really living water, then no matter how you fill it into the bottle, you will never be able to lower the water level in the pool.
On the contrary, if there is stagnant water in the pool and the water level in the pool drops after filling the bottle with water, it means-"
"The space channel is not open at all times. It is only opened when the hot spring water needs to be replenished..." Eric understood: "Is there any difference between the space channel being always open and only opening when needed?"
?"
"There is a difference. And only those who are well versed in subspace magic will understand the difference." Albert smiled mysteriously. And his Holy Spirit White Tiger is the Holy Spirit who is good at controlling space.
When the storage bottle sucked away the water in the bath, the water level slowly dropped. Although the change was very weak, they could judge it with the naked eye. Then when the water level dropped to a certain level, about ten minutes later, it slowly rose again.
.
"It looks like the water is changed every ten minutes. Did you get the answer you wanted?"
"Yes." Albert said thoughtfully: "This can be used."
The scene changed and it was back to the abyss fighting arena.
Albert poured the water in the bottle directly down, and soon a large amount of hot spring water poured on Gene's strong turtle shell.
Gene seemed to be able to hear the sound of water, so he asked: "What are you doing? Are you pissing on my shell because you can't break it? Don't be so childish."
"Huhuhu..." Albert suppressed his laughter and continued to pour hot spring water on the shell, and at the same time sprinkled some powder on it - the powder of thunder rosin.
"Suffer death!" He suddenly jumped up and directly threw the Luna Steel Scimitar wrapped with lightning in his hand at the giant shell!
