Castlevania of the Pigeons from Fairy Tail

Chapter 41 The Limit of Time Stop

After Uru left the Magic Development Bureau, he met two young boys, Leo and Gray, and found in them the emotions that could express his longing for his daughter, so he adopted them.

That day, Urrutia was convinced that Uru had abandoned him, so he left without going forward to acknowledge him.

Later, Uru sealed the demon Deliora with his own life and died, without the chance to meet Urrutia again.

So this misunderstanding has been lingering until now, until Brian exposed it and blood was splattered all over the floor.

Urrutia was distraught.

She had initially felt that her mother would never abandon her, but later "facts spoke louder than words" and she had to accept reality.

Now, the more cruel truth was revealed, which made it difficult for her to accept it for a while, and even made her feel a little breathless.

Is this the retribution for bigotry and arrogance?

My mother will never know that I am not actually dead, and I will never have the chance to reunite with her?
Is this my retribution?
Then, in the following battle with Wu, the restless Ultear was quickly hit by several beams of Wu's dark magic, Ever Dark Fantasy.

If she hadn't tilted her head at the last moment, one of the beams of light would have hit her head instead of her shoulder.

The blood gushing out from the three puncture points on his shoulder, abdomen, and left leg, as well as the intense pain, finally calmed Urrutia down.

She realized she had to focus on the battle at hand.

This fight was no longer about fulfilling a mission for the Demon Lord Endymion or removing a thorn from the past.

What she wanted was a revengeful release to numb the sadness and regret buried deep within her.

"Brian!" Her eyes were bloodshot, and she stared at the leader of the Six Demon Generals, letting the blood flow from her wounds. "There's no way you can get through here!"

Wu laughed arrogantly: "Then come and try it, hahahahaha——"

hum-

Suddenly, at this tense moment, the expressions of both of them froze at the same time, and they turned their heads to look to the side.

A magical force that made them feel familiar and turned their emotions into astonishment and fear surged in this direction.

He...why is he here?

The demon king Endymion appeared before them.

He was a handsome young man with short golden hair, but he possessed magical power so immense that even the two of them combined could not match it.

Neither of them had ever met Endymion face to face.

But as soon as they sensed this magic power and aura, they were already certain of this person's identity.

He is definitely the devil without a doubt.

Endymion looked at Urrutia and Wu with interest.

The two men tensed up, one recalling the ending where his body exploded to death under the heavy pressure, and the other recalling the ending where he lost consciousness under the bombardment of two huge Thousand-Armed Stone Buddhas.

No one wants to experience that feeling again.

Even if you are as unruly as a cicada, you will be silent at this time.

"She's right," Endymion said as he walked towards Ultear. "You can't pass through here. Your only destination is the Boss's Palace on the first floor of Demon Castle."

"If you accept this, you will become the first nightmare of countless Castlevania challengers in the future. If you don't accept this, then I can only 'try' to make you accept it."

He's on Urrutia's side? Damn it! He's the Demon Lord Endymion, and Urrutia serves him, so of course he's on Urrutia's side!

Wu Xin was horrified and flew back suddenly, keeping a long distance between them, even though he knew it was meaningless.

Endymion approached the bewildered Urrutia and said:
"Remember when I told you your time arc 'wasn't perfect yet, and was too deliberate in its activation'?"

"You don't understand? Okay, let me show you how to do it." Endymion planned to help Urrutia grow quickly, so that she could quickly acquire the ability to open a second or even a third source of magic for others.

Ultear opened his eyes slightly and saw Endymion's unquestionable gaze and the hand he extended.

Endymion's fingers touched Urrutia's arm, and both of them trembled simultaneously.

Then, he transformed into an afterimage, vibrating along with Ultear's figure, his body outline gradually merging with the shadow.

Come in...come in...he comes in.

Urrutia felt the strange sensation of being possessed, and soon, her limbs were out of control.

The crystal ball in her hand was thrown far away.

It turns out that this is how Brunot felt at the time.

On the other side, Wu, in extreme fear, had chosen the worst and most helpless crazy move!
He first threw a huge spiral dark cannonball at the possessed Urrutia, and then continuously fired dark beams in Urrutia's direction.

This kind of attack may be praying for a miracle to happen.

Urrutia couldn't control his body and could only watch the attack fly towards him.

She was panicking, but suddenly she heard Endymion using her throat to make a sound.

"Anyone possessed by me will have all their potential squeezed out."

"Although your time arc can't stop time like my sister can, with my magic power boost, I can still stop time for a short period of time."

What on earth is he talking about?
Get out of the way, get out of the way!
Urutia suddenly realized that the entire arc-shaped palace of time had fallen into a bleak gray.

The dark spiral shells and dark beams like rain of arrows seemed to be frozen, stagnating in mid-air, only half a meter away from Urrutia.

Wu was standing stiffly in the distance, maintaining the forward posture of launching an attack. His pale face showed a complex expression, like nervousness, fear, and begging...

The crystal ball that was thrown out had reached Wu's back at some point and was also strangely frozen in mid-air.

Is this... is this time stop?

Urrutia himself was stunned.

"One second passed."

"Two seconds passed."

Possessed by Endymion, Urrutia bypassed the dark magic attack in front of her and ran towards the distant Wu as lightly as an antelope.

"Three seconds went by. Four seconds went by. Five seconds went by."

Endymion landed lightly beside Wu, and then walked behind him, and the two passed each other.

"Six seconds have passed. Seven seconds have passed... Haha, it seems that the current limit of your time arc is nine seconds."

He separated from Urrutia's body.

The bleak gray of the entire Time Arc Palace was rapidly fading away and being replaced by its original colors.

The crystal ball that was originally thrown into the air fell down.

"Remember this feeling? This is what your time arc can do, and this is one of its true uses. Now, you can do it yourself."

Ultear was standing behind Wu. He was stunned for only a moment because of Endymion's words, then he immediately turned around and caught the crystal ball that fell into his hands.

She tossed the crystal ball again.

The crystal ball swayed in the air and turned into numerous afterimages, floating densely in the air, surrounding her enemy without any blind spots.
