Time That Runs Slow
Chapter - 26. Time That Runs Slow.
Egi swiftly dodged the red jumbo's direct attack, Egi moved quickly by jumping behind the red wood bear and keeping as far as possible to avoid the attack range of his nails. The ferocious bear that looked like a rampage in front of him did not let the distance widen and many times made Egi hassle to choose a good beachhead area after evading.
Recalling what Galena had said about all the beasts on the rerao mountain, Egi could not rule out or underestimate the redwood bear. Red wood bears have a habit of clawing at tree trunks to mark hunting areas or show their strength. Moreover, the trunk of the tree that is always scratched by him or known as red jumbo is the trunk of a rock tree. The most poisonous and poisonous tree on the rerao mountain. Poison in this tree is found in the trunk, the poison is in the form of lymph fluid such as mucus. If the bark of the tree trunk is peeled or slashed just a little, then the lymph will appear out and continue to flow until it stops until the air makes it frozen.
The poison in the trunk of the tree is not as deadly as killing humans or injuring other living things. Toxins in the tree is very effective to stop the operation of all nerves and muscles in the body of living things. If humans are exposed to the poison even if only a little, then in an instant he will lose all his senses and experience total paralysis in his body for several hours.
"Waduh-whooh! This bear is really terrible. But if you compare forces, you are no match for me. Moreover, the galena giant bear is much more troublesome than you. Haduh... early in the morning already noisily, why do you think I am your prey? Can't you see my mighty body, it looks good? You better forget that craving, I don't want you to get a stomachache later after eating me. Haha-"
Not understanding the language and words that came out of Egi's mouth, the bear with all his might attacked him while Egi was chattering. The bear continued to hunt and tried to pounce with the power of its hideous hooves.
"Almost I thought the range of the attack was only one meter, unexpectedly more. It was almost impossible for the attack to be avoided, but fortunately there was a gap in the shell of this beast. If I take a second late step, I'm sure I'll get a scratch." Inner Egi was relieved.
Not playing around any longer, Egi began to launch several attacks by throwing a stone directing part of the bear's body. Egi then immediately moves quickly around the bear to make the bear's attention disturbed. Now the bear stands on both feet and makes itself look very big. In an instant, Egi slammed a hard punch on the bear's back and then continued down the abdomen after that up his shoulders and kicked hard on the back of his head. Instantly, the bear became erratic because it endured the pain in every part of the body that Egi attacked. Then Egi immediately grabbed the bear's large neck and hung like a necklace, then quickly swung his right leg and elbowed it on the chin. After the attack was done, Egi immediately released his grip on the bear's neck.
The body of a large red wood bear more than 5 meters high was immediately toppled backward with the impact of his body hit hard on the surface of the place.
As a result of receiving Egi's powerful attack, the bear groaned in pain and then fled by getting into the thickets.
Realizing the difference in strength, since then the red wood bear never showed its existence to Egi.
After the incident, Egi did not need to be aware of the bear and continued to soak every morning.
Plunge into a puddle of more than 100 meters deep in the area of the twin waterfalls, Egi looks very enjoy it. While balancing his body and slowly descending to the bottom, Egi then stretched his body by positioning his back facing the bottom and eye view to the surface of the water. In the depths of the water Egi's body looks like it is floating in the air. He also enjoyed various beautiful views of the clarity of the water, and slowly into the water continued to bring it down to the deepest bottom. Egi is also slowly swept away in silence while remembering the faces of those who are memorable in his life, nearest and dearest. In that silence, Egi slowly drifted deeper into his delusional thoughts.
Far from the bottom and yet reaching a depth of 50 meters, Egi suddenly felt pain and tightness in his chest and then suddenly choked. It instantly messed up the delusions in his ongoing mind. With a fickle face that looks flushed, Egi rushed to the surface to get air.
His body that was starting to reach the limit could hold its breath in the depth of the water so as to awaken it to immediately rise to the surface. Looks so grand because it has got air to breathe, Egi then tried to lay down his body facing the sun that looks dazzling. Looking up at the sun, he then showed a slight smile and then chuckled with his fist toward the sun and said, "that he will not make galena wait any longer."
Soaking every morning apparently Egi tried to train the power to hold his breath. Still not knowing what he wanted to achieve by increasing his breathing endurance, Egi did not seem to do the exercise half-heartedly. The next day Egi managed to achieve the deepest and longest record than before, and also the training he had given galena has been completed.
It does not feel that time has passed long enough, now Egi does not have another exercise menu that will be learned next. Now he must immediately meet the galena behind the waterfall and ask him to give new instructions for the next exercise. By nightfall, Egi had prepared himself to enter that other world. The only way is in the cave in the twin waterfall area, and the world in the cave emits a lot of mystical power to have a big impact on the human body. A sign that it is a prohibition not to set foot there.
But the effect only has a big impact on people who are unable to withstand it, for who can then the opposite.
Now Egi was standing straight while looking at the water that continued to flow down and hit the surface where he stood, and it felt a little vibrating like it was at the center of the earthquake. The water that continues to flow like falling from the sky, looking at it from such a close place really makes the heart beat and accompanied by a nervous feeling of pleasure and fear. Egi for a moment before the end is now accustomed to feeling it too.
In front of the big twin waterfalls while showing a small smile on his face, Egi was a little creepy because he felt the sensation of soon starting his new adventure in the other world.
A few moments later Egi ran as fast as he hit the wall of water until a loud and loud sound from his mouth which was quite very noisy.
Call it that he screamed as loud as possible while running as hard as he could.
In the cave inside the twin waterfalls it looks the same as before when Egi came here with galena some time ago, that is, as far as 150 meters walking from the mouth of the cave, there are two large skeletons in the form of Garuda birds that become a barrier or barrier to the other world. Currently the overflowing energy or power is already felt very concentrated when it reaches that point. Now here's the beginning, which is to enter the area on the inside of that barrier. Whether Egi would feel the effect back, or his body would only receive a slight impact. Egi was immediately looking for his year by trying directly at once.
"I'm ready for this, right now my body power is also stronger than before. It's gonna hold, and I'm pretty sure that I'll be able to reach the end of this hallway and meet again with galena." Egi was very optimistic and prepared.
Instantly Egi stepped into the barrier himself was suddenly attacked by an unknown creature. The attack was like the thrust of a hard wall that came suddenly. Not knowing where it came from, the attack looked like it had appeared from all sides.
Before a moment the attack will hit Egi, in the hallway of the cave there is no sign of anyone. But the attack had immediately occurred, the technique looks had not been issued but it has been issued. Surprisingly, Egi did not notice any form of attack around him. It also does not seem like someone who moves very fast and attacks Egi. His attack had already happened from the beginning. Egi glanced in all directions in the large cave hall still did not know who the perpetrators who had attacked him.
It looks raw on the face of Egi is very confused and mixed alert to the area around him. He did not understand what was really happening, then his body suddenly crashed back in a moment.
"ouch! What exactly is that? What happened, I don't understand!" Egi confused.
Rise back up and in the blink of an eye at that time Egi again threw for the third time away from the front of the two skeletons of garuda. Now that Egi could not stand it anymore and began to get fed up with the oddity, Egi immediately began shouting at the users of the technique. Egi chattered at the invisible one with various reproaches that made the heart jump in annoyance.
Words of pearl kept coming out of his mouth until the invisible began to appear before Egi. It seemed that the reproach had managed to get him out, but it had simultaneously made him become extremely angry and increased his previous attack power to become even stronger.
For Egi it does not matter as long as its form can be seen and immediately counter-attacked. But it is still free, although now it can see his figure still Egi can not attack. Now Egi was thrown incessantly to hit every corner and ceiling in the big hallway.
The invisible man is now no longer hiding, now his form is clearly visible. It is said to be visible but cannot be said that it is a body figure, perhaps more precisely it is said that it is a ball of light. No, maybe some kind of soul.
That's why Egi can not attack him, because Egi is increasingly confused with what he met until he lost focus and then exposed to the technique.
"Why? Dare not chatter anymore huh, it turns out just big talk apparently. You think that cheap taunts work on me? Now let's see what you can do if you can see this ugly figure of mine, nothing. You won't be able to escape this technique until you meet your death." Tell me that ball of light.
"Talk? That ball of light can talk! No-no, let's take another look." Inner Egi does not believe, but at such times Egi also finds himself beaten.
"Hahaha. How's it? Still can boast again."
"Tu. right! Can I talk!?" Inner Egi was very surprised.
Although he had time to feel amazed, Egi looked very difficult to survive the strange attack.
"I've heard an old story as a kid. There used to be a disembodied creature inhabiting a wilderness, and the forest was only visible when the moon was at its peak. The forest can be seen but cannot be traced. It is said that those who inhabit the forest look small like a light and it is a form of death. Now the mysterious creature in front of me right now, it looks the same as the one in the story. So that's the appearance of death from the forest dwellers not looking at it." Egi said, he did not believe that the creatures in the story were real. Now he can see directly with his own eyes what the figure of the creature in the legend is, however, the situation does not look good.
Egi has made the creature angry and bad impact on him, well even though the first to attack is the creature. There may be something or reason why the creature suddenly attacked him, and it wants to find out Egi.
"Ouch..!! Where did those attacks come from? Why I still can't see the direction of the technique even though he has shown his form in front of me. What has he done? What kind of technique is this." Said Egi, he was still crashing here and there and could not dodge just once. Egi began to use his brain and think of something that could make him avoid the technique. A few moments later, he found something.
Egi for the umpteenth time he was made helpless by the ball of light managed to dodge one attack from three consecutive attacks that made his body hit the corner and ceiling in the cave. Egi finally knew what technique the ball of light had used.
He did not move very fast, did not give off great strength, nor did he move out of place. That ball of light used a unique ability, he made the surrounding area run slowly. The technique of that ability makes such an area a scope, and Egi is now in an invisible space where it is an area of power that can slow down time. Egi realized this after he managed to evade one attack from several attacks carried out.
The technique is very powerful but has weaknesses. The technique will not be useful if the target is not in it, and also the user must find a position that is a little close and precise to do so. Of course, it must be outside the room or circle, because the technique is a room that does not look like a semicircle with a diameter of 5 meters wide and wide. If the target is already in that space, then the technique can never be stopped. Not only that, the room is like making the victim hypnotized. He felt that everything around him did not look different, but what was actually different was time. The time in the room was very slow, swinging one punch towards the target within 1 meter like up to a month.
For the victim it does not look like such, he just feels like he is moving fast like he should. But his true self did not move that fast. The victim will be seen attacking very aggressively hit the user but it never happened or arrived.
When it is trapped into the room, the user will immediately attack the victim with various attacks from outside. After that the victim will end up with injuries and so confused by what has happened for a moment.
..
Egi finally began to be suspicious of the strange ability because he had once avoided a hard collision into the corners of the cave. At that time Egi assumed that the ability there is a gap, and the gap is distance.
Even though he had a little understanding of the strange ability, Egi still did not realize it. That ability is like a room that is invisible, and has a range limit. It was a kind of ability that looked the same as that of Datuak Parpatih but was different.
While waiting for an opportunity, Egi tried to withstand the pain when his body was thrown around and immediately to strike back. When the awaited moment arrived, a blow towards the corner that had the gap had appeared. Instantly Egi will be banged towards the angle, he took advantage of the opportunity of the angle of the cave as a foothold to push his body as hard as possible towards the ball of light. With speed and utilizing the gap, Egi finally got a chance to get out of that space.
"Did!?" Surprised at a glance that Egi was suddenly already in front of him.
As a result Egi was able to get a very close distance and immediately caught the ball of light with both hands.
