Chapter 9 - A Battle Lost in Time

Right now Rover is lost in rage. What was the cause you may ask? Simple, the current him right now is has been backed towards a corner. No matter what qsave or qload he does. The enemy still manages to overwhelm him and push his back against a wall. So what did Rover do? He tampered the whole tower and compressed them into a suit of armor powered by the world energy.

The Suit of Armor Rover wears rushes towards the foe that defied Rover's wishes. The experiment was very satisfying, many things were done but yet in the end someone has to ruin in the fun. The one in front of him was the cause of his rage. With a Hero like appearance he appeared and fended off Rover's attack . First he was struggling but along the lines he turned cold and cruel towards him.

Was it something that Rover has done? What did the man in front of him heard that made him turn cold? Rover thought about it as he swing energy arrows towards the dodging enemy., No matter what he does the enemy disappears like a flash and overwhelm him in a few strikes.

The suit of armor was damage and scraped by his heavy attacks. Though the armor keeps repairing using the metals and ruins to reconstruct the armor. Though the power of this transmuted armor is tremendous. It didn't compare to the offensive attacks that the man in front of Rover does.

Rover jump as he conjured hundreds of binding chains and strapped them towards the enemy. Though as if the chains lose their energy when it contacts the enemy armor. Rover did not falter and continued casting environment spells but though it may scratch the enemy's unprotected parts. It quickly recovers like nothing.

Rover then using the conjured chains pulled himself into the sky like an arrow sling by a bow. Then in midair casted disintegration towards the enemy! Before the enemy can move hundreds of chains and spikes flew forward to the enemy to stop his actions.

Then when the chant was done. Rover made a malicious smile as said:

''DISINTEGRATION''

Laughing manically inside Rover stared at the smoke covered are where the enemy stand and watched carefully to see his ashes. But when he was about to let his guard down. A blast of energy crashes towards Rover as it digs through the construct armor like butter!

Rover flew back a hundred steps and crash landed towards a wall as he was planted by the impact. Slowly opening his eyes, Rover saw the enemy standing like a valiant hero and muttered:

''He resisted Disintegration?''

The enemy look at Rover blankly. Then as if he disappeared the enemy appeared in front of Rover as he quickly stab on his stomach with his sword and corroded a strange energy inside Rover. Rover screamed in pain as his bloodshot eyes stared at the enemy.

When Rover tried to Pause, the world didn't stop. Rover tried qload and qsave but yet no matter how he circulate his energy the energy of the sword that is stabbed deeply into his stomach prevented Rover's energy from be used as if it was negating the energy forcefully.

''It's no use now. You won't be able to cast anything now that my blade has been lodged on your stomach'' As the man in front of him said in a blank expression and continued '' This battle is now over. Your under arrest for destruction of property and mass homicide.''

Then as if whistling, chains flew towards Rover's body and bounded his whole body. The armor that Rover constructed fall into pieces as if the mana threads were no longer able to sustain it. The armor fell towards the ground landed with a bang. Then the man pulled the chains and dragged the paralyzed Rover towards the Guild.

******

The King saw the defeat of the monster. He was undergoing a roller coaster of emotions back then. First it was the seemingly hard fight that the guildmaster was in but yet moments later the aura of the guildmaster turn from warm pity to silent cold when the monster spoke of something.

But all that matters right now is that the Guildmaster won. He won and triumph against the monster. The monster that made every adventurer and warrior die a death that leaves just ashes. The GuildMaster won with the help of the replica equipment's of the hero party.

The King sat at his chair as he carefully watch the man dragged the monster towards the guild. He knew that it was time for him to act and make some justice. So the King stand and beckon his daughter to follow him. It was a king's job to pass judgment after all.

Leone dragged the paralyzed monster with one hand as he slowly drop his cold demeanor. The Battle was over, he can now relax a bit. The Monster was defeated...... and he knew that without the help of the Equipment's Replica of the Hero party that he would not be able to stand against the barrage of attacks and the spell disintegration.

And with the overpowering strikes and speed of a magic swordsman and experience that has been honed and build for years have benefited Leone. He walk towards the guilds as the adventurers flood the main hall knowing that he have succeeded in his quest.

Leone saw the eyes of anger that was directed towards the monster. Leone didn't dare to call such psychopath as a former comrade now, mainly because of anger. He thought he was possessed. He thought it was not his own actions. But yet in the end it was all for a sick whim of him to turn this town to a experimental field. Leone was utterly disgusted when he learned that it was the monster's own will of actions.

That disgust and anger was also the key that made Leone ruthless and cold. There was no ounce of pity or mercy he can give towards the monster....not anymore.

There was nothing on Leone that could feel for the monster he is dragging. As long as he can deliver this monster to justice he would stay for this town for a few days and go back to Serena. Leone was given an epiphany in the battle. With psychopaths like this existing he need to rush over and be with Serena and protect her from monsters like the 'monster' he subdued right now.

Leone walked and saw that the King was standing still. He can feel in the eyes of the king the anger inside. Was there anyone who wouldn't be angry when the house you built would be destroyed unjustly? The Princess is also looking at the monster with deep anger. As if the two glaring eyes would tear a hole towards the monster.....that is their anger.

Leone dragged the paralyzed monster and made it kneel in front of the king. The King look and approach the monster and slap loudly towards the monster. The Monster only glared and grin at the furious King and did not even falter. The Princess took out a rod and hit the shoulders of the monster. The Monster growled in pain but then as it was nothing...made a grin and continued staring.

''Hmph! You Monster!'' as the Princess shouted angrily.

''Enough my daughter.'' The King said calmly as he regain his composure.

Then he look towards the monster and asked a single question:

''Why are you doing this''

It's is the question everyone wanted to ask towards the monster.

The Monster continued grinning and then as if their were ice in the back's the monster spoke:

''I just did because i want to try something fun hehheeheheheheh''

Fun.

All those atrocious acts were just for fun?

Is this psychopath kidding?

The Adventurers and the civilians inside the guild is angry. They want to burst and hit the monster but they can't. Simply because they were disgusted. They don't want to face such sickening person.

The King glared and said towards everyone. '' I the King of Willows hereby sentence you to be put in display and be judge by the people! An easy death is too good for you! Let the people throw stones and sharp objects towards you! May their anger and hatred be felt! Let the slow execution begin!l''

The Mob of Adventurers roared and as if they were waiting for the king's declaration. They rushed towards the monster and began punching as they dragged the vile monster outside the town!

Leone look blankly and stood closer towards the King.

Then he spoke. ''Your Majesty, i would like to leave this town now.'' Leone have changed his mind, he want's to go now. He knew that monster might be freed or was just hiding a card on his sleeves. So he wants out of this town. He have realized that their is more important things that he would rather protect.

The King glance and as if hesitating for a bit said. ''Then as a reward you may choose to do whatever you want.'' As he turn his back against Leone and walk towards a chair.

Leone did not make a sound and thanked the King in silence.....

******

Stones were thrown towards Rover. He laugh and grin at the angry mob who have hanged in the middle of the park that was once riddled with flowers. People were throwing stones and objects towards him yet he didn't feel any pain. It was simple. He have cut all his sense of pain to stay longer as Rover.

Once he faints or dies it would be all over.

Why is Rover doing such thing? He didn't know. It was mainly because he thought with the power of qsave and qload he would triumph all. But he forgot that the energy and mana can negated. A big flaw of this power of qsave and qload. Though it might be different if it was done in the voided room. After all the void have that save point that is days afar from the present time.

There were people shouting words of insult but Rover was not even listening to them. The Words were useless to him. Same old insults and curses were boring. Seriously though, what now? Would Rover try and escape? Would he try and flee and go on a rampage?

Nope because he can't use his powers as long as the chains were binded to him. ''Negating energy sure is convenient'' Rover thought.

Hours passed and the area was already clear of any hateful mobs. It seems that they really do trust this chains that binds Rover. They were confident that as long as no one touches the chains he wouldn't be able to escape.

Rover look at the sky and sighed. ''So much for being an overpowered combat alchemist ''he thought.

''Damn, even with these crafty combat alchemist skills i didn't win? Oh fuck i should have use more elements in the fight and didn't all go spears and chains and seriously why did i made that armor with a lot of rebound?'' as Rover mumbled.

''Also whats with those armor and sword? Come on Anti magic/mana equipment this early is cheating damn it! Also those flashy like steps and strikes are as fast a light..........isn't that shit cheating? I even needed to qsave and qload all the time to avoid those goddamn attacks! Fuck, whats with the strong opponent this fucking early? And also maybe i shouldn't have prove that guy... He was having this look of pity and was getting beaten the shit out by me...hmmmmm''

Rover then quickly take silent and felt the world spin...

''Oh times up huh.'' as he grin and felt the world go blank.
