Chapter 1479 I Am

Chapter 1479 I Am

?Varian's body sank like a boulder in the ocean. There's nobody to help and nothing to hold onto.

Flaying his hands around in a desperate attempt, he tried to make sense of the situation he was in.

A dark world spanned endlessly around him, pulling him deeper and faster with every passing second, like ultra quicksand.

And it was trying to pull something from him. Something he shouldn't lose. Unravel the Unknown, Unleash the Unimaginable: N♡vεlB¡n.

There was an instinctive struggle going on, one he wasn't able to feel but was subtly aware of.

'I...Zahara...fuck!'

Varian's consciousness rose back to the shore and his eyes snapped open.

His hand, out of pure instinct, was grabbing grabbing Zahara's claw which dug into his chest and clenched his heart.

But that's all.

Due to the tremendous power of time pouring from her into his body with every passing moment, a sort of 'time bomb' was being planted.

Once it exploded, his heart would be skipping not just a few seconds but possibly a minute or more into the future.

And when that happened, it would also take away a big chunk of his vitality with it.

For those sixty seconds, Varian would be extremely deprived of aura and low on vitality.

Despite regenerative capabilities strong enough to regenerate from a drop of blood at normal times, in that weakened state, he'd be no better than an old tree waiting to be cut.

Even if he could survive decapitation once or twice, he wouldn't survive his body being sliced to pieces.

And Zahara would be willing to do more than just that.

But Varian didn't know he was misunderstading something.

"You woke up already? For an ant, you are intruiging." Zahara's echo didn't have the usual radiance.

Her golden skin had gone so pale that it appeared sickly white, the lively long hair was extremely dim, appearing like long dead vines stuck to her scalp.

"Ant?" Varian gritted his teeth and pushed her hand out.

Zahara's echo staggered back before stabilizing quickly.

"You are in such a bad state that you can't even kill me." He laughed.

"Kill you?"

It was Zahara's turn to laugh. And she let out a very mocking and harsh chuckle.

"I was trying to drain your vitality to the brink and capture you. Or you'd have died a hundred times already."

Varian's expression darkened and he grasped his surroundings.

They were now even out of Pala kingdom and maybe even in the edge of the Genesis Empire.

It's an incredibly difficult job to pull it off.

But if it succeeds, as it did with you, there will be tremendous benefits.

You've gleaned into how the space-time domain works for a world independent from the universe.

Make no mistake, this isn't an average lesson. You have grasped, if only a tiny, tiny chunk, of what it means to have a universe.

Would it help you in making expanding that world into a universe one day? Highly doubtful.

But is it beneficial to study? Absolutely!>]

He did it.

With a single event, he took a significant leap in all the paths and hit the very peak of rank 7. Even though he wasn't sure of breaking through right away, he's dangerously close.

What's more, once he reached rank 8, he would be accessing the strength of the kingdom's strongest.

The jump would be insane.

After all, even with the strength of a peak rank 8, he wasn't even able to react to the fight between Miss Calamity and Zahara Onyx.

'Not for long.'

Buzzz!

The time wave reached him in a blink, wriggling with aura dense enough to choke a rank 6 celestial.

"Tsk."

With a wave of his hand, the space-time in front of him distorted like ripple on a still lake. The incoming time wave was blocked for a moment before it broke through.

Varian showed no anxiety.

As the time power struck him, his body exploded into a puff of smoke and he appeared in the far distance.

"You..."

Zahara's eyebrows jumped in surprise.

Even though it was a deliberately weakened attack to not kill him, it wasn't something he should be able to evade.

And what's with those space-time powers from him?

How did he use them? They didn't feel like products of a treasure.

'No, it can't be...' As Zahara's echo entered a dangerous line of thought, a snap pulled her back to reality.

A bright dome of white and black power enveloped them.

"This power..."

She had noticed only it now but her contact with the main body was cut off.

"You aren't the hunter." Varian smiled.

A red sword materialized in his hand, a purple gem shone from his heart and the ring on his finger began to buzz.

"I am."
