Trash of the Count's Family

Book 2: Chapter 324: What cannot be understood (4)

<What cannot be understood (4)>

Baaaaang!

Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-

Bang! Bang!

The explosions continued.

“Ugh!”

Neo groaned and the amount he was pushed back became longer.

But still…

“Kahahahahaha!”

“…….”

And Cale scowled.

Neo saw this and raised his voice. He sounded delighted.

“In the end, my time is more omnipotent!”

Neo cast a shield.

“I just need to defend!”

Yes. He just needed to defend.

His heart that had the attributes of numerous Dragons… The amount of mana that heart could draw in while overloading was amazing.

It was able to stop all of Cale’s attacks.

“Hahaha! You have so many obstacles even if you want to go all out! Isn't that right?”

That was right.

Cale's allies nearby, his allies who could not move right now, were obstacles that prevented Cale from using the full strength of his powers that were like natural disasters.

“Kehehe, ugh, hehe-”

Neo laughed and groaned at the same time while pushing his heart forward.

“Go ahead, touch it!”

That was another issue.

“It should explode if you touch it! It’ll explode while time is still stopped like this!”

And if that happens…

“Everybody will die!”

That would lead to a mass of deaths.

– This is driving me nuts!

The Fire of Destruction subconsciously shared his frustrations.

Cale scowled even more.

“Haaaaaaaaaa-”

He let out a deep sigh.

Neo had been pushed outside the castle walls at this point.

However, it was only outside the castle walls.

-2 minutes.

“Haaaa.”

Cale let out a deep breath.

Neo watched this and smiled even bigger.

“It is my victory.”

‘Yes. In the end, my time is omnipotent.’

“Nobody cannot go against my time.”

Neo was full of delight.

No matter what happened, whether it was the Five Colors Bloods bastards or these bastards in front of him…

He became able to prevent everybody from getting what they wanted.

“Haha-”

It was at that moment.

The laughing Neo stopped.

“You are too loud.”

“…What?”

‘Did he just say that I'm too loud?’

As Neo looked at Cale and scowled…

“Haaaa.”

Cale let out a breath as he mumbled.

“I said you're being too loud.”

He really was feeling like it was too loud.

– I said no!

– Hold back, let’s hold back!

The ancient powers were continuously talking to Cale.

– …….

Only the Super Rock didn’t say anything.

The other ancient powers slowly became quiet as well.

They had heard what Cale had said earlier.

‘Full power.’

Cale definitely said that he would go at full power.

He was going to use everything he had.

Boom. Boom. Boom.

Cale heard his heartbeat.

Boom. Boom boom. Boom boom boom.

The sound of his heart was starting to get faster.

Yes.

“Instant-”

‘10 minutes?

How is that an instant?

Yeah. Instant did get stronger.

It is moving in this slowed time after all.

But you see…’

– No, Cale, please-

He could hear the crybaby's desperate voice, but…

Cale didn't listen.

‘Instant.’

Instant was-

“It is only an instant.”

Yes. That was its true nature.

Cale decided to use all of his powers at full strength.

‘I need to use Instant at full strength as well.’

Originally, Instant turned seconds of time into a long period of time.

Well, even if it became longer…

It was only for a few seconds.

‘And that is the right way.’

Basically, the Instant that Cale was using right now was not the ‘complete Instant.’

Yes.

It meant that he was not using it at full strength.

That could only mean one thing.

‘More-’

My time could become even slower.

Boom, boom-

The sound of Cale's heart, which had been beating frantically because of the tension, slowly disappeared from Cale’s ears.

Cale observed Neo in front of him.

“N, no way-”

Neo's words started to sound slow.

“A time even slower than mine-”

‘Yes.

My time can become even slower.’

“Human-”

Raon's voice sounded slow as well.

His head was heating up.

He felt pressure all over his body.

Yeah. This is Instant.’

If Neo's time was the issue…

Cale just needed to get time that was even slower than Neo's.

It looked stopped, but Neo's time was not a full stop.

It still flowed.

Cale just needed to break the flow of that time even more.

“Haaaaa.”

His breathing was getting heavier.

His head felt like it would explode.

His skin felt that way as well.

But Cale smiled.

‘Yeah. Since when did I fight easy fights?’

While he was Kim Rok Soo…

He always fought until his limit at that time.

That was the right thing to do.

His allies were obstacles?

There were lots of obstacles?

‘So what?’

He had to even consider the regular citizens.

There were many more complicated situations.

However, Kim Rok Soo always succeeded in his missions except one time and survived.

That-

– …Yes. Let's try it.

As the Super Rock mentioned, it was possible because he had done it before.

He would leave the later issues for later.

‘Just one time-’

Cale took a step toward Neo.

His ears were going numb.

“A time- slower than mine-”

He could hear Neo's slow voice.

‘Yes. I've moved ahead of Neo even in time.

But I still can’t make Neo completely stop.’

Neo's time was basically stopped as well.

Even while using Instant to its limit, Cale couldn’t make Neo stop completely.

That was why-

‘I need to move quickly.’

He finally had an opportunity.

Pss-

His skin started to explode.

Cale ignored it.

He only focused on Neo.

‘Grab Neo.’

He would then use the Sound of the Wind to send Neo flying as far as possible.

He wanted to use that power right away to send Neo flying, but…

‘The wind will slow down once it leaves me.’

Instant would not be touching it anymore.

Cale needed to grab Neo by the collar and send the wind to his body so that the defenseless Neo would be swept away by the wind without being able to do anything in his time.

‘Fuck!’

He was enraged.

That was the only way he could think of.

The only thing Cale could do right now was to move quickly in a time even slower than Neo's to send him as far away from his allies as possible.

‘After that, use the shield.’

He would do that to protect as many allies as possible.

Time should start to flow normally right as Neo's body starts to explode.

Then the others would cast shields as well to resist against the aftershock of the explosion as much as possible.

‘Fuck-’

Riiiiiip-

He could hear his skin ripping.

Cale still ignored it.

He was just annoyed.

‘Magic!

If I could use magic…

I would have teleported Neo away.

No.

Mana is a mess right now so teleportation might be hard even if I could use magic?’

It was one problem after another.

The only thing he could do was send Neo flying as far as possible while time was stopped.

That was the only way to survive.

That was the only way to save everybody.

Swooooooosh-

The wind gathered at Cale’s hand.

The back of his hand was already bloody from the skin ripping away.

Craaaaaaack-

Cale heard something crack.

‘Is it my plate?

Is that the sound of my plate cracking?

Ha.

Am I really going to die?’

Cale got rid of those unnecessary thoughts.

He couldn't hear anything anymore.

“@$%-”

Neo was shouting something but he couldn't really hear, potentially because Neo was slowed down.

Or maybe it was because his ears were now bloody messes.

Cale reached his hand out.

Swoooooooosh-

This was the other hand and not the one holding the wind.

Boom!

Cale heard his heart beat again at that moment.

And finally…

‘It’s done.’

He grabbed Neo by the collar.

He could see Neo’s defenseless body in this slowed down time.

Swooooooosh-

Cale couldn't even hear the Sound of the Wind in his hand.

‘It’s hot.

My head and my whole body is hot.

No.

It's damp.

No, what is this feeling?

Am I cold?’

Cale couldn't figure out his condition.

Instant getting stronger must have changed the rebound a bit as well.

But Cale paid it no attention.

– You are really at your limit! Your limiiiiiiiiiit!

As the old man shouted…

Boom-

As Cale heard his heart make an odd noise…

Craaaaaaack-

And as he heard something breaking…

Swooooooosh-

He shot the wind at Neo.

Time was still slow.

Cale truly was planning on using Instant to its limit.

He had not released Instant yet.

– You're at your limit.

However, his body had already reached its limit.

‘Ah.’

Time was starting to flow again.

‘Fuck!’

Neo's body was being flown away by the wind.

Ooooong ooooong- ooooooong–

His ears were numb.

But Cale had no time to pay any attention to his ears.

"That, crazy, bastard-”

Cale raised his hand.

No, he moved his body.

But his body did not move.

He also couldn't see very well, potentially because of all the blood.

However, Cale did see something clearly.

Smile.

Neo was smiling even as he was sent flying.

It was something that Cale, who had not managed to stop Neo completely, had not realized.

“Okay. I'll throw my life away as well.”

Neo was truly a wicked bastard.

No, he was such a terrible bastard.

Cale felt time becoming slow again.

Neo had thrown his life away.

Crack.

Neo's heart cracked.

No, it ripped.

Neo stabbed his own hand into his heart and pulled it out.

The ‘time’ attribute that had been condensed for over ten thousand years started to overload.

Time suddenly became even slower.

No, it became faster.

“What?”

He heard people’s voices.

No.

“-”

The world became slow once again.

It truly felt as if it had stopped.

Crack! Crack!

Neo's heart started to crack in half.

The purple mana around it had already disappeared.

Neo was still being flung far away.

He still smiled.

After giving up extending his life by controlling time…

He used up all of his mana, including the amount that had been suppressing his heart from exploding…

To launch an attack at Raon.

Cale shouted.

“Dodge-”

Neo had thrown away the rest of his life to do something that would pain Cale the most.

‘Ah.’

Cale scowled.

‘It’s slowing down.’

Even he was now starting to slow down.

– You're at your limit.

That was it.

Neo's time was moving in a mess, but…

The bigger issue was that Cale’s instant had lost its power.

He couldn’t fully react anymore.

“Human- I'm okay-”

Raon’s shout was becoming slower.

Cale could see it as time slowed down.

Raon could not dodge that spell.

‘Shield-’

The silver shield was becoming faint.

The spell that was shot out was very fast, and it quickly caught up to Raon even as he flapped his wings to fly away.

‘Crazy bastard-

This terrible bastard!

This motherfucking bastard that deserves to die!’

“Kahahaha!”

He could hear Neo laughing out loud even as he was being flung away.

This bastard really was a motherfucker.

– No.

He heard the Super Rock’s voice.

However, Cale ignored him.

Before he slowed down even more…

Before he lost consciousness…

Boom- Boom–

Before his slowly beating heart stopped…

‘I need to do it.’

A silver light glowed in Cale’s hand.

The Indestructible Shield.

He needed to cast a shield in front of Raon before it was too late.

Cale extended his hand toward Raon.

And-

Craaaaaaack-!

He heard something break completely.

“!”

Cale's eyes opened wide.

He saw something move past him faster than Neo's time.

‘Ah.

It’s light.’

A radiant white gold light moved past Cale in the direction of his hand.

Something that was fast even in Neo's slowed time…

‘Yes, light.’

Light was the only thing.

As his sight became blurry…

Cale definitely saw it.

Baaaaaang-!

He saw a radiant white gold light stop the purple mana.

At the center of that white gold light was a terrible black thing that didn’t seem to fit the light.

‘Ah.

That.

No, that guy-

The Dragon half-blood.

Yes, it’s that bastard.’

It was that bastard’s soul that was inside the Black Bone Dragon.

He was the only one who could release a light like this.

The Dragon half-blood's attribute was light.

The radiant white gold light was in the shape of a Dragon.

The white gold light that resembled a large adult Dragon defended Raon and pierced through the purple mana to push forward.

Cale subconsciously started to speak.

He urgently shouted even as time slowed down.

“Hey-

You-

You punk-”

Cale realized the Dragon half-blood’s plan.

The white gold glow, no, this light was fast.

He headed toward Neo.

Neo had exploded his heart even as he was being flung away.

The white gold light Dragon opened its mouth and chomped on Neo.

“No!”

He heard Raon’s slowed voice.

The white gold light Dragon grabbed Neo and flew away.

It flew away very quickly at the speed of light.

Far away.

It was getting far away from Cale and Raon.

‘You crazy son of a bitch!’

Cale felt like he would go crazy.

“-!”

“—”

Time became released at that moment.

No, it returned to normal.

Neo.

It meant that he had met his end.

“No!”

The first thing Cale heard once time returned to normal was Raon’s scream of despair.

Neo's overload had ended.

His heart had exploded.

Baaaaang—!

The first thing Cale saw once time returned to normal was the white gold light that crumbled with the explosion.
