Chapter 516: The village attacked by time
It was dusk when Gwen saw the village nearby. Birds that flew at the same elevation as her challenged Gwen to a glide-off, seeing who could glide the longest. Unfortunately for the birds, Gwen could use magic to keep herself afloat, so she won the contest.
Some of the birds landed on her, needing a nice break from flying. They were centered around Kyana since she felt the most like nature to them, being an elf and all.
"We’re nearly there."
On her back, Kai was sleeping with Nadya wrapped in his arms, sleeping as well. He thought it would be a good time to get some sleep since he was lacking. Sleep wasn’t needed, but it still made him feel better, at least it felt that way.
"Finally! What are we doing here anyway?" Amaya was ready to touch the ground and fight some monsters, but she didn’t know what this village had to do with that.
"We’re here for information, Amaya. This village was neighbors with the town that’s trapped in time, according to the map. So these people should be able to help us."
"They are also the ones who keep people from entering the Town frozen in Time," Kai added as he woke up.
Nadya was still sleeping in his arms, so he continued to lie down and didn’t get up.
"Hold on, do you guys see that?" Gwen’s eyesight was extremely good, and in her dragon form, it was top-tier, yet she was barely able to see what she thought she was seeing.
"What are you looking at?" Amaya asked, using her hands as binoculars.
"It looks like clear monsters are attacking the village."
"Clear monsters, as in, you can clearly see monsters attacking, ot the monsters are clear and they are attacking." Kai wanted to make sure he was understanding her properly.
"Monsters that appear clear are attacking the village." She affirmed.
"Got it." Kai got up this time, waking up Nadya to see what Gwen was talking about.
"Sorry, sleeping beauty, but I have to check this out." He kissed her head.
"Mhmm."
Squinting his eyes, Kai saw what Gwen was talking about, but instead of the monsters being clear, they looked like crystals that were constantly reflecting light.
"Hmm. What the fuck is that?"
"Ah, Chrono-Beasts," Leo said, casually sitting on Gwen’s back.
"Those are Chrono-Beasts?" Kai wasn’t even surprised that Leo was here.
"Yeah, they are basically time that’s alive. It’s hard to deal with them, well, for lower-level lifeforms. You should be fine, though. As for your wives, not so much."
Kai frowned. "Explain."
"They’re immortal, but they’re not gods. They still have souls, and time can eat away at a soul."
"But gods have souls as well."
"No, once you reach divinehood, so a demigod, you have essences, not souls. Similar, but not the same. It’s also referred to as a divine soul."
"I see. Well, do something about it."
"Make me." Leo stuck out his tongue.
"Mom."
Cassie appeared. "Leo!"
"Fine, fine."
"Heh, simp."
Kai was punched off Gwen’s back.
"Motherfucker!" Since Leo was the progenitor, his punch caused Kai’s nose to bleed, which was a rare sight.
"Heh, how do you think you were born, you dumbass!"
"Ugh, shut up. I’m not trying to hear that from you. I once had a revelation that all of the girls you told me you had sex with back in college were just my father telling me about his sex life, so fucking gross."
Amaya couldn’t help but laugh at Kai’s anguish. "Pwahahahahahaha! I don’t know what college is, but that sounds really funny."
"Okay, your wives should be fine now. I turned their souls into divine souls. Becoming gods will be easy for them once they study the Laws of the universe. But that just stops the time problem. Chrono-Beasts are still extremely powerful, and they can send people to different points in time, past, present, or future."
"So just anchor them to the present." Kai didn’t see how that was a big deal.
"Right, I can do that, huh?"
Kai rolled his eyes. "The guy who created everything in existence, everyone."
"Guys, those Chrono-Beasts are coming this way!" Gwen’s wings started to flap faster as she approached the village at high speed.
"Good luck, you guys." Leo and Cassie left.
"Alright, team, let’s get to work! Gwen, right when the beast is about to attack, I want you to revert to your humanoid state."
"Got it."
"Nadya, you’re with me. I want one of those beasts trapped."
She yawned while replaying. "Okay."
"The rest of you, head to the village and help those people in the village."
"Yes! It’s time for the action!" Amaya’s claws glinted in the moonlight, and her smile showed off her murderous charm.
"Now!"
The Chrono-Beast, which was around the size of a normal dragon, so smaller than Gwen, but still very large. When it opened its crystal-looking mouth to attack, Gwen reverted to her human form, and the beast missed all of them.
"Hahaha! Here I come!" Amaya, Gwen, Kyana, and Sasha flew toward the surface like missiles about to hit their target.
"Nadya, get ready."
"Yeah."
Kai lunged at the chrono-beast, his attacks going right through it. He could feel something happening to his body, but then the feeling went away.
"I guess that was the time trying to fuck with me." Before he could fully understand what happened, he was struck by a tail and dropped a few hundred feet, but he flew back up and clobbered the beast in the mouth.
He used the Law of time to attack the beast, which ended up working, and it lost a tooth.
It was hard to describe what it looked like, but to Kai, the beast looked like a combination of a scorpion, a lion, and some otherworldly beast.
"Top half of a scorpion, bottom half of a lion, and the head of...I don’t even fucking know what that beast looks like. Nadya, you got anything?"
"Nothing. Maybe a deformed dragon head?"
"Pwahaha! Yeah, that works!"
