Time seemed to have slowed down to the point that it appeared as if the time had almost stopped entirely!
Even though Heriet had gathered so many people to deal with Gabriel, in reality, he only brought them for backup in case something went wrong! He didn't really want to fight with them! If anything, he wanted to deal with Gabriel personally!
In the next instant, he appeared right before Gabriel!
"Brother, I'm sending him to personally apologize to you!" He screamed at the top of his lungs before thrusting his Sword.
Even though Heriet seemed strong to the others, not many could see that there were tears in his eyes as he was finally getting his revenge!
His parents had died when they were very young and he only had his elder brother who was only three years older than him.
At that time, they didn't even have enough to eat yet his elder brother used to do anything he could to get food for them, even going as far as begging, all so his little brother wouldn't go hungry!
That was how those two spent their childhood. Their lives only changed when they became adults and managed to join the Temple of Time with some luck!
At that time, they thought that their sad times were over and they could finally live like humans and not insects at the mercy of others!
Unfortunately, that happiness didn't last long since Heriet's brother lost his life while attempting to kill Karyk.
Heriet didn't care what his brother did or whose fault was it! For him, his brother was his everything! To lose him was to lose the biggest emotional support of his life!
He didn't even remember for how long he had been dreaming of this moment!
"I'm afraid your brother might have to wait a little longer."
Heriet's Sword stopped right as it was about to stab through Gabriel's skill. At the same time, Gabriel glanced at him.
Heriet was shocked. Time was moving slowly. However, Gabriel was still able to move freely, as if he wasn't bound by the restrictions of time!
Even though Gabriel's face didn't have many expressions, Heriet felt that his gaze was mocking him.
"H-how can you..." Harriet jumped back, landing in the distance. He was so shocked that his control over time eventually broke, freeing the others from his control!
The others were momentarily surprised to find out that Heriet wasn't standing in the air like before! He was standing around ten meters away from Gabriel.
Everything happened so fast that they couldn't even notice it!
"How can you stay unaffected by time?! It's impossible!" Heriet frantically asked.
"You really underestimate your brother if you think he didn't try this trick last time." Gabriel's lazy gaze rested at Heriet. "You all can't truly control time. You only take external help to control a fraction of the time."
"What a pity that it's useless. If you could truly stop time completely, maybe it would've been challenging. But slowing down time? You're looking down on me too much."
Gabriel had already realized how the Temple of Time gained their strength. They didn't have a single mage. They also didn't have the Supreme Element of Time! If they had someone with that Element, then that person could've been much harder to deal with. However, these people...?
The aura of death around Gabriel intensified as he stood in the midst of all his enemies like a god of death.
In fact, he didn't even think too seriously about his enemies. If he hadn't awakened his memories, he might've died at this place. However, now that he had returned to his peak, these people weren't challenging enough!
Instead, his target was the Upper Realm! The people before him were just a stepping stone!
Gabriel glanced at the sky, as if thinking of something. "It looks like, after today, everyone will know that I've returned. In that case..."
He raised his right hand toward the sky.
Unfortunately, Heriet didn't want to give him any chance to use a spell! He commanded everyone to attack! Even if it was Gabriel, he couldn't leave alive!
Thousands of attacks, containing the combined strength of various elements came for Gabriel. At the same time, the crackling of thunder resounded in the sky!
"You've made us run in circles to catch you! But this time, we will get equal!" The Holy Priestess of Lightning chanted her strongest spell while her Grimoire floated before her.
Her spells were even stronger under the effect of the unbreakable formation!
Through the dark clouds in the sky, a raging lightning dragon came down, destroying space wherever it passed through!
"Return the life of my people that you took!" The Holy Lord of Flames also roared, casting his strongest spell... A blue flaming Tsunami that could burn everything in its path to cinders came out of the group, as if it was looking to swallow everything!
At the same time, the ground split apart under the spell of the Holy Priestess of Earth, as if looking to swallow Gabriel whole!
The Holy Lord of Nature wasn't behind either! Thousands of unbreakable vines came out of the ground, wrapping around Gabriel's feet, not allowing him to move.
One after another, all the Holy Lords had made their move! However, there were clearly two missing. The Holy Priestess of Summoning was still in shackles in the Royal Palace while the Holy Lord of Wind had disappeared as soon as Heriet had appeared in this world!
As for the Holy Lord of Light, he was Gabriel himself so his presence or no presence was the same!
Boom~
All the attacks landed on the target! The flaming Tsunami covered the entire ground, wrapping it in deep blue flames that were impossible to see through. At the same time, the lightning dragon also entered the sea of flames, seemingly hitting the target.
For a long time, explosions kept resounding as all the attacks hit the target inside the sea of flames.
Heriet still hadn't attacked. Since his last plan failed, he let the others test the waters. However, he was certainly slightly surprised to see that Gabriel hadn't resisted and was hit by all the attacks.
He was frowning, wondering if Gabriel had truly died inside the sea of flames. He didn't believe that it could be that simple.
Thud~
Thud~
While everyone was wondering if Gabriel had died, loud rumbling sounds resounded, as if coming from the sky! It was as if multiple chains were trembling and clashing together.
Heriet looked towards the sky. He had a bad feeling about this. The sound of chains... As far as he could remember, the only chains in the sky were from... A World Tier Spell!
