I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

"you

The battle begins, no matter how many times - until you find yourself. "

Leticia reached out and held the golden scepter, looking at the figure standing up slowly from the surging bloody mist in front of her.

His black hair quickly transformed from the roots to a dirty pale color that danced wildly in the wind, and his black eyes that coexisted with reason and determination were replaced by madness, exuding a suffocating scarlet red.

"Hahahahaha... It's been such a long time~ Siya, did you miss me?"

"Yeah...Long time no see." Leticia replied coldly.

In the center of the bracelet woven with time spells wrapped around her wrist, the number was slowly changing from "1" to "2".

The pain from the sharp blade still lingered in her nerves. Leticia felt that her palms were now covered in sweat, and she couldn't help but tremble out of fear.

Now she knew very well that she could not defeat the madman in front of her no matter what, but she still had to stand in front of Cheng Mo.

Bet on the name of Gesebrisak, no matter how many times...

No matter how many times, I will continue until you come back——

She took a deep breath, suppressed her trembling hands, and plunged headlong into the battlefield in front of her that was destined to end in failure.

"Come on... let's get started!"

Chapter 15 The shackles called [Time]

And in this earth-shattering battle between the "Devil God" and the Curse God, which continues to reincarnate, a place on a certain planet in the universe called the Durunoy Continent...

Deep in the ultramarine forest covered by dense woods, in a tree house with smoke rising from the chimney, Gristavia, the ultimate stay-at-home witch who has not left home for decades, feels that today Life was very strange.

I bought a lot of high-tech gadgets in that big bazaar in another world, including something called a "laptop."

The merchant and himself have repeatedly explained that this thing has extremely powerful networking capabilities and can receive signals no matter where it is. There are a lot of good things "online".

So after that, Gresta seemed to have opened the door to a new world. In this continent where martial arts and magic were prevalent, she seemed to be the only "home girl" who could stay at home and read books online.

And she especially likes to read the lily novels with themes such as blonde elf

Have these ladies really experienced that kind of thing? They actually know better than themselves. These are all treasures!

On this day, she was going to look through the wives on her watch list to see if there were any updates, and then package them up and download them to enjoy slowly. However, although this laptop can connect to the Internet anywhere, the Internet speed here seems not to be very fast. .

Looking at the slow progress bar on the screen, Gresta felt as if she was being scratched by a kitten.

【80%...90%...99%】

The download is finally over!

The progress bar that was about to finish was just a second before the download was completed. Gresta's eyes were blurred, and she felt that everything around her seemed to have been reset.

And the progress bar that was about to be completed once again returned to [1%] that made her feel suffocated in her chest.

"I￥%#you% @he\u0026**% @! (Esperanto expletive)"

Gresta was so angry that she slapped the table and screamed. After she calmed down and continued to squat in front of the computer and wait for the long minutes to pass, she reached the 99% progress bar, as if she hadn't made enough fun of her. , reset to zero again.

Just when she thought the computer was broken and was about to take it and run over to argue with the seller, her eyes blurred as she just stepped out of the house, but she returned to the computer again to stare at the [1%] progress. Tiaofa was stunned.

Gresta finally noticed something was wrong around her...

It seems that there is no problem with the computer downloading the file, nor is it a problem with the Internet speed, or even has anything to do with myself.

Instead, the entire world was instantly reset after just a few minutes.

Gresta was the first to think of the culprit who could do this. There was no other person besides the white-haired lolita, but she couldn't figure out why she had any reason to come back here, and she kept coming. The earth activated the Time Spell·World to lock the time of the entire Durunoi continent in an infinite loop in less than ten minutes.

While I was thinking about it, time reset twice again.

Each reset seems to take no more than ten minutes, but it varies.

So Gresta temporarily put down the never-ending progress bar on the computer in front of her and began to wait for the next reset.

This time, seven minutes and twenty seconds... time is reset and a new reincarnation begins.

The moment she returned to squatting on the chair, Gresta took the time to rush out of the door of the Witch's House, waved a broomstick and sat on it, shooting into the sky like a sharp sword.

Now all the living and non-living things in the entire Durunoi continent are trapped in the sudden time loop, and because of his possession of the witch's eyes, he alone can influence the world of Time Curse. The memory of the previous cycle is retained.

In other words, if this cycle continues, the only one who will be tortured crazy like this is himself. Because other people don’t understand the time loop at all.

occur!

In order to find out why the guy Leticia suddenly went crazy, Gresta must search the entire Durunoi continent in these short few minutes to first rule out the place where the abnormality occurred. On your own side.

Of course, there is also a very, very small part of the reason, because in order to atone for his sins, he has to "slightly" take on the responsibility of protecting the world from being collapsed by anomalies.

After all, when Leticia is away, he, the sinner who once caused the entire Durunoi continent to suffer, is the [strongest] fighting force.

Gresta planned to patrol in the four directions of east, west, north and south as quickly as possible. After experiencing the next five time loops, she finally ruled out any abnormalities that would cause the collapse of the world on this planet during this period.

If the problem doesn't lie on your side, then it must be somewhere else.

Gresta was relieved at first. Since it was not her fault, she didn't have to worry about taking the blame for anything that happened in the future. She just felt even more puzzled.

Eight minutes and fifty seconds...the twelfth time reset.

Squatting in front of the computer, Gresta held her forehead and sighed hard.

"What kind of trouble does that guy Letitia have encountered? He needs to completely lock the time of the entire universe in a cycle of less than ten minutes! Can you please stop doing it!!"

She felt that it would not be a problem if it continued like this. It was very likely that Letitia could not solve this incident with her own strength.

If she can't solve the problem by resetting the timeline so frequently with her power and identity as the God of Curses, then it may be a huge trouble for the entire universe.

…

"No, in order to see the latest updated book...for the creation of the ladies, to uncover the treasure...bah bah bah!"

——In order to save the world, Gresta knew that she could no longer be a salty fish!

Since she has the ability to know what happened, she must at least figure out what happened. Otherwise, the memory will remain in the loop forever. She can't stand the picture of the progress bar jumping back and forth - her blood pressure is about to explode!

Nine minutes and seventeen seconds...the fifteenth time reset.

Gresta took a deep breath, slowly lifted up the bangs in front of her other eye, waved her wand, lightly tapped her eyelid, and recited a spell.

"I will see through everything behind the cause and effect and time, and the price of following the contract-give me eyes that can see fire."

The seals were lifted layer by layer, and the vertical pupils of the dragon, which were divided into black and white with clear boundaries, slowly opened, and what followed was a huge sea of ​​information that filled all of his cognition.

Use the next coming cycle to detect the location of the source of the fluctuations that sweep across the world, and then in the next cycle, peek at the source of the sweeping and erupting waves.

But even though she found the general direction of the source of the attack in the fifteenth cycle, in the sixteenth cycle, Gresta still miscalculated the distance between the source of the explosion and herself.

"Why is it so far?!"

It has even left the entire Durunoi galaxy, heading towards the more distant deep space...

"It seems like things are really getting serious."

Recording the maximum distance that can be traced at present, Gresta ushered in the seventeenth cycle again, and continued to explore the source from the coordinates where it was last interrupted, until she looked across the endless starry sky and found the one in the universe with Another terrifying figure fighting alone, Gresta spent a total of four hours.

[Forty-sixth time cycle. 】

At the last second, Gresta finally saw Leticia being cut into two halves in the dark starry sky.

She was so startled that she opened her mouth wide and took a breath of cold air.

"No way? That guy Leticia actually..."

The figure fighting Leticia was particularly familiar to her, because it was exactly the invisible existence that she had glimpsed from Isabella's memory. Of course, she had seen it before, at the Flis Flea Market. There was a chance encounter there.

Cheng Rang, a madman with unimaginable strength.

As the sight is pulled back to the main body, the forty-seventh time cycle begins.

Gresta curled up on the chair with her legs in a daze, a little lost. At this time, she finally got a glimpse of the desperate truth, and knew why the intervals of the time cycle were always different, some were long and some were short.

Because at the end of each cycle, Leticia suffered a tragic defeat in a battle with the beast that emerged from the cage.

The next cycle begins when Leticia, who has experienced all the previous defeats, stands in front of him again.

Gresta knew it, and Leticia definitely knew it better than her.

No one can beat that guy except himself.

The only thing that can limit him is cause and effect and time.

So in the shackles called time, cycle after cycle, I tried my best to face the monster face to face again and again.

Fight again and again, and then lose again and again...

Chapter 16 Edge of Tomorrow

"Don't watch it, don't watch it... This is simply not something I can interfere with!"

Gresta huddled in her chair, restless.

The battle between the two people triggered the laws of heaven and earth with a wave of their hands, and pulled a planet over and slapped it on their faces.

Damn it, let alone interfering, I guess even just watching would be too much.

Gresta was glad that the place where the two were fighting was far away from here, far outside the scope of her ability.

"Just don't look for me, it will get over anyway..."

She kept trying to persuade herself not to think about those irrelevant things, but it seemed that God always liked to joke with her today.

Without counting, she had looked at the progress bar on the screen in front of her and reset it a few times. Just when Gresta was about to leave it alone, with violent spatial fluctuations, a door tore apart. The door that separates time, space and the world appears in front of the witch's house.

"The Witch's House is closed today!!!"

Gresta yelled and covered her ears and felt like crying. Listening to the rapid knocking on the door, she didn't even have to guess who would come here at this time.

That must be her dear apprentice - Isabella Campbell.

The hurried knock on the door was accompanied by Isabella's call, which seemed to come tirelessly. Gresta looked at the progress bar that had reached 30% on the screen, cursed secretly, and had no choice but to jump off the chair. He strode to the door and opened it.

"Teacher Gresta!" Isabella looked anxious and was about to say something to Gresta who opened the door impatiently.

But Gresta, who spoke faster than her, said: "What are you doing here now? Come back quickly! I gave you my wand so that you can move rescuers, not to make you come here to die!"

"Teacher Gresta...you know everything?"

Isabella looked surprised. Although she had just come here, Gresta refused her request to speak out as if she knew everything, and ordered her to go back immediately.

During the time when Cheng Rang took Xiao Mo to study, Isabella, who further practiced with Leticia, finally got back her own wand - the Heart of the Seven Lights.

But Leticia told her that the only purpose of this wand was to mobilize reinforcements when she and Cheng Rang failed to solve the problem of "Mo".

"It cannot be used under any other circumstances. Don't you have the wand your husband gave you now?" Leticia said at the time.

As soon as Isabella saw Gresta's current appearance, she immediately understood something. She stretched out her foot to block the door and asked the teacher in front of her: "Teacher Gresta, do you already know what happened?" ?! Now they need our help, you can't ignore it!"

"Why should I care? This has nothing to do with me! Besides, you are the last person who should be here now. Go back to your original world!" Gresta doesn't want to see this the most right now. It was Isabella's face that arrived.

Because this means that once she appears in this universe locked by a time loop and does not go back in time before the end of this loop, then there will be an extra person in the reset world line who does not belong to this world at all. She would be trapped here, going through the cycle again and again.

However, for Isabella, who does not have the eyes of a witch and cannot understand cause and effect, once she is trapped, she will not have this consciousness at all. She will always think that she is the first time to knock on the door of Gresta's house. Door.

This is not the only part that Gresta needs to worry about.

"But……"

"No but, you have to believe that your master can handle it. If you don't go back quickly, you won't have time!" Gresta wanted to push Isabella out of the door.

"But Master, there has been no news from her for a long time. This has far exceeded the time we agreed on. I had no choice but to come here to find you!"

Seeing that Isabella couldn't be beaten, Gresta simply let go and asked: "Okay, let me ask you, do you think I beat that guy better? I mean, he has completely turned away and turned into a He is the maniac who wreaks havoc and destruction without considering any consequences.”

"this……"

"Do you think that guy Leticia can beat him? Can you beat him? If you can't beat him, what can I do if I go!"

"But, you might as well at least tell me what happened. I'm worried..."

Gresta looked back at the computer screen. The progress bar had reached a dangerous 85%.

"I have no time and no way to explain to you now. You must return to your original world immediately, otherwise you will-"

Before Gresta could finish her sentence, the scene in front of her suddenly changed in the next second. She returned to the posture of squatting on the chair, and the progress bar on the screen in front of her returned to 1% again.
