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

"..."

Gresta opened her eyes wide, and then her expression gradually turned gray.

"You must be joking..."

[Unknown number of time resets, 6 minutes and 01 seconds. 】

This time Leticia's defeat was obviously faster than before. Gresta didn't know what happened there, but it was obvious that Leticia's condition had declined significantly.

Although she is an out-and-out undead, what cannot be forgotten is that even if she can pay the price of activating the Time Curse World to reverse time, it is still a very terrible burden for her.

This cycle of reincarnation cannot continue forever. Every time she loses, Leticia will pay a huge price to launch the world. However, each time she is in a better situation than before.

It would be too much for anyone to face Cheng Mo who was always in his prime when he was in a weak state.

"It's better now..." Gresta wiped her face vigorously, got off the chair, came to the door, and opened the door.

Isabella, who was about to raise her hand to knock on the door, saw herself and looked surprised.

"Teacher Gresta, did you know I'm here?"

Gresta let out a long sigh, "Hey... there's one more trouble."

Isabella blinked and asked tentatively: "My wife, what trouble do you mean?"

Time passed by minute by minute, and now even Isabella was dragged in. This was undoubtedly the last thing Gresta wanted to see. At this point, she also became an insider and had to step in to take care of it.

Because although she had an indifferent attitude towards the life and death of Leticia and Cheng Rang, she could never maintain a hard-hearted attitude towards Isabella and watch her reincarnate again and again.

"Come in!" Gresta pulled Isabella through the door and described everything she saw to Isabella as fast as she could in her life.

However, after finishing speaking, to Gresta's despair, Isabella tugged on her sleeves with a very apologetic expression, and whispered softly: "Sorry, Teacher Gresta, could you speak more slowly?" A little bit? I haven’t communicated in Esperanto for a long time..."

Gresta took a few deep breaths, then tried her best to calm down her crazy mood, and slowed down her speech: "Tell me a secret that only you know. The shorter the better!"

"Eh? Why do you ask this all of a sudden as soon as you come up? I'm here -"

"Come here and ask me for help, right? I know! So this is your first time here, right?"

"yes……"

"But in my eyes, this is the second time you have entered my house! Do you understand? That guy Leticia used the final sequence of the time spell to cycle the time of this universe before she was defeated by Cheng Rang. Now, Tell me a secret that only you know, especially one that you have never told me, so that you can trust me more easily next time you come here!”

"I, I understand." Isabella immediately understood the situation, "I remember, teacher, because you were against the master before, you were able to ignore the influence of the time curse world... but I can't."

"Yes, that's what it means!" Gresta even raised her hands and cheered because her apprentice was so smart.

And just when Isabella was about to say something, time reset again.

Gresta almost cursed, but she immediately jumped off the chair and rushed out of the door. In less than ten seconds, a space-time door appeared in the center of the open space in front of her, and Isabella ran out of it.

She looked a little surprised when she saw Gresta waiting at the door, "Teacher Gresta, you just happen to be here! I came here because-"

"Isabella shut up and listen to me! We don't have much time. Although you can't understand what is happening now, you have to believe me."

"But teacher, you are a person who lies without drafting..."

Gresta slapped her forehead hard and whined.

"Don't worry about it, now tell me a secret that only you know and that you have never told me."

"Are we still discussing gossip at this time, Teacher Gresta? I have something urgent to ask of you this time." Isabella showed a somewhat angry expression.

"I know, I know! So you have to believe me!"

Isabella couldn't realize that she only had so much time, but she was confused about the agitated Gresta in front of her.

"Do you have to say one...?"

"Yes! Now, immediately! Be good and obedient. I will explain to you later!"

Chapter 17 The decision has been made long ago

The door that tore apart time and space appeared again. Gresta was waiting here for the first time. She said to Isabella who appeared here for the "third time": "Where is your Lin Curse Master badge? Do you remember that there is something in it?" What?"

Isabella immediately stood still, showing a surprised expression, and subconsciously held the Lin Curse Master badge pinned to her chest.

"……yes, I remember."

In her mind, she had indeed just come to find Teacher Gresta. But after hearing these words, Isabella immediately knew that this was definitely not the first time she had met her like this.

That was the agreement between Leticia and herself. On the day of Isabella's Lin Curse Master graduation, Leticia personally awarded her the Lin Curse Master badge, and she personally sealed a powerful spell.

【Time Spell·World】

"What I can give you is a chance to make a comeback, Isa."

At that time, Leticia leaned into her ear and whispered: "No matter what happens, you have a chance to do it over again. I believe in you, so please make good use of this opportunity."

"Under the influence of Time Curse World, almost everyone will not realize that the timeline reset has occurred, if you forget what to do after you are reset."

"Then whenever someone asks you, "Where is your Lin Curse Master badge? Do you remember what's in it?", you will notice that you are already in a reset world. This is what I give you. privilege, because you are my proudest disciple..."

"All you have to do is trust that person. No matter who he is, he may not be me, but he must be someone who can guide you to find the direction... In the end

Finally, if the world has been reset, then let go and do all the things you didn't dare to do before, and don't hesitate. "

"Because it is very likely that you have already done all the things you can do in your previous efforts. The opportunity is fleeting, which means you may not have time to hesitate at all. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Master...I understand."

——————————————

Isabella looked at Gresta in front of her, clutched the badge on her chest and asked, "Teacher, have I already used this?"

The reason why I came here this time was because Cheng Rang and Leticia had left far beyond the scheduled time, and they came to bring reinforcements just in case.

But if the world has been reset once, does it mean that you have failed before?

When Isabella thought of this, she felt a little difficult to breathe and couldn't help but feel flustered.

Although there was no confusion in her cognition or memory, she already knew that this was not just her first time here.

Gresta waved her hands repeatedly, "Oh, no, no, of course not! I don't care whether you use it or not, but at least that guy Letitia has been using it!"

"What, Master...? How many times has this happened?"

"Didn't I continue to count? There were dozens of times before. Then after you came over, I failed to persuade you to go back. Now you are also in this cycle. By the way, this is the third time I see you. On the third The second time you told me what you said at the beginning, saying it would be useful."

"Is it because of your eyes, teacher?"

"Yes." Gresta nodded.

"You said loop, time loop before, how long do we have?"

Gresta spread her hands and said, "I'm not sure, but it will definitely not take more than ten minutes."

"What do you need me to do?"

"..."

Gresta was silent for a very short time, and then said frankly: "I don't know."

In one or two sentences, he simply summarized the current situation for Isabella, that is, on the other side of the distant starry sky, they were fighting for some unknown reason.

"Every time Leticia loses, time will be reset and you will come here again." Gresta raised her forehead and said, "Maybe your husband is crazy."

"No, that's not the case!"

"ah?"

Isabella then informed Gresta of Cheng Rang and Leticia’s plan, “Now the master has been resetting the world, but this is only a superficial battle. What really needs to be solved is to find the inner world. Memories from before.”

"That means——?"

"Master needs to delay time. Only by delaying enough time can all this cycle stop!"

Gresta took a breath, "I understand the general situation, but I have some bad news for you..."

"What?"

"It seems that your master can't hold on any longer. The current cycle time is getting shorter and shorter. The last time was even less than six minutes. The longest time before could still last for more than nine minutes."

"Then we should help him!" Isabella did not hesitate.

"How can you help? If you go there, you will die. You have admitted before that neither you nor I can beat him!"

"Have we been there before?" Isabella asked.

"What? Did you fight in the past? Of course not!"

"Then let's try it this time."

[If it’s already a reset world, then just let go and do all the things you didn’t dare to do before, and don’t hesitate. 】

Gresta looked back at the time: "But we probably won't be able to get there in time this time."

"Then next time..."

Isabella's eyes became more and more determined from the initial panic.

"Do you still remember what you said to me after you used your witch eyes to peer into my life?"

Gresta pursed her lips, of course she remembered.

I once said that Cheng Rang is too powerful, so powerful that nothing can stop him. As long as he is overwhelmed by the entangled cause and effect one day, he will become a madman more terrifying than the devil.

The girl in front of him said, "Then I will be the one who can stop him."

At that time, Gresta lied, saying that she had already seen the past and the future, and had seen everything he had done.

But it only took one question for Isabella to render herself speechless.

She asked: "Then can you tell me, did I succeed in stopping him?"

Isabella had already been prepared at that time, ready to be his enemy.

And all the preparations were just to get to this situation today.

"Teacher Gresta, please take me there next time we meet." Isabella held Gresta's somewhat cold hand and conveyed warmth to her palm.

“In that dark world, I will stand before Him and be His light.”

"I don't care if you die."

"It doesn't matter. I will die sooner or later anyway. Rather, if I die, I can turn into an angel to protect you, right?"

Gresta clenched her teeth tightly, almost squeezing out words through her teeth.

"I won't let you die in front of me, Isabella."

————————————————

As time reset again, Gresta, who was squatting on a chair, had a heavy expression. She closed her eyes and thought for a moment until she heard the sound outside the door.

He heard the footsteps getting closer and closer, and then he stretched out his hand to summon the wand.

Opening the door, he faced the girl standing in front of him for the fourth time.

"Where's your Lin Curse Master badge? Do you remember what's in it?"

She looked surprised for a moment, then nodded solemnly.

"Yes."

"——Let's set off." Gresta walked out of the witch's house first and came to the open space.

"Where to go?"

As the forbidden spell was chanted, the tip of the wand in Gresta's hand passed from top to bottom, tearing the space into deep black cracks.

"You go and stop him..."

Gresta stepped into it without hesitation and looked back at Isabella behind her.

"I'm here to save you."

Chapter 18 The Final Battle

With a huge roar, Leticia's back hit the hard rock ground after being kicked from the air by Cheng Mo. The momentum continued to crack the ground backwards without losing any momentum, plowing out a long ravine.

"Cough cough cough...!"
