The moment Tomas triggered the legendary summoning contract, the wilted tree phantom behind him vanished, and a dark frame hourglass suddenly metalized, overflowing with golden sand.
However, Asher didn't wait this time for Tomas to succeed, and the two axes behind his back landed in his hands and lit up in milky white flames. He instantly hacked the axes in Tomas's direction.
"Sky Annihilation!"
Countless sharp white slashes suddenly bolted towards Tomas, who seemed dazed. They were so fast that they instantly shrouded Tomas into countless pieces!
However, Asher's expression was grave because despite Tomas turning into mincemeat, the black hourglass phantom behind Tomas was still there, hovering in the air majestically.
The next moment, the hourglass suddenly trembled, and golden sand in the hourglass gushed out from within and created a golden tornado around Tomas's remains.
"Time Reversal!" An imposing, ethereal voice sounded in the battle arena.
Under Asher's ugly expression, the golden tornado started to fade, and a tall figure appeared, standing like an immovable mountain. It was none other than Tomas, who was now completely fine. Even his drained body was back to normal, not to mention that he now
looked even younger.
However, Tomas's emerald eyes were now completely pitch black and cold. However, there was a slight change in the hourglass behind Tomas. It wasn't overflowing with golden sand, but there was 20% less golden sand in it."A constant, huh? So, you're from the intrusion of those undying roaches. I never thought you would dare to show yourself openly in front of me. I wonder what could've had to compel you to go against me despite knowing who I am. Nonetheless, did you tell that fool what it means to associate himself with your kind?" Asher coldly spoke at this moment.
He knew things were troublesome now; he had lost his chance to end this quickly. It wasn't like he was afraid of the Golden Constant, instead, he could easily wipe him out with a thought, but the thing was the price he needed to pay was something he wasn't willing to fork out.
If he used his true prowess, all the effort he put in hundreds of thousands of years would be turned into smoke, not to mention he'd suffer a backlash from a terrifying being.
Tomas, who was now possessed by Golden Constant-51,117, suddenly pulled a brilliant smile. Completely ineffective to Asher's taunt, he performed a bow in front of Asher and greeted him as if he were meeting an old friend.
"I didn't know even the servant of [*#$^^%] knows about our insignificant gathering." The moment he uttered that name, it instantly turned into gibberish, making Asher's expression change because he knew why this happened.
"Who the hell are you? You dare to utter that name?!" He asked with a panicked expression.
If he had previously thought that this opponent was only troublesome, he now knew that troublesome was far from it. This person knew exactly who he was and who was behind him. But this shouldn't be possible!
"I'm just a wanderer who is on the journey of seeking the truth." Golden Constant-51,117 nonchalantly replied before he profoundly smiled at paled Asher, "Aren't you assisting your master in doing the same? But alas, if only it were that easy, after all, as long as Zodiac W..." "Stop, stop!" Asher's expression went ashen as he quickly released his terrifying aura, quickly stopping Golden Constant-51,117 from uttering that name. He was completely spooked at this moment because he knew this person wasn't a nobody. In fact, he seemed to know grave secrets only known by terrifying existences like himself and his master.
"Aren't you afraid drawing 'its' attention! Although I might be forced into slumber for a very long time, you will not be as lucky as me. Even if you had that mysterious protection and can revive again, it won't work against 'it' once you marked by 'it'. If you want to commit suicide, go do it somewhere else!" Asher berated as his aura spiked up to the extreme.
He was now ready to use his full power to get rid of this suicidal lunatic. He would rather suffer the wrath of his master than suffer the wrath of 'it.' He even started to regret entertaining Tomas's challenge.
If he had known Tomas was such a fool, he would've never answered his call and gotten rid of him, even if he had to suffer some backlash from the Dark City. But now, it was too late, and this Golden Constant-51,117 was holding on to his neck. He had to pay for his arrogance now, so he decided to pay the minimum price!
"Death is, but a temporary sleep for someone like me. But I still didn't want to sleep, especially now of all the times." Golden Constant-51,117 suddenly chuckled as he directly threw away the magic staff, raised his hands, and meaningfully suggested, "I'm not here as your enemy. Instead, I just want your help, and I promise you won't regret it."
"The hell are you doing? This wasn't part of our deal!" Tomas's rageful yet horrifying voice suddenly roared in Golden Constant-51,117's mind.
He was completely conscious despite Golden Constant-51,117 overtaking his body, and after witnessing Asher's panicked stricken face, he felt it was all worth it, and he was gloating until Golden Constant-51,117 said those horrendous words.
"Heh, nothing is everlasting, neither a promise nor life; only time is eternal. If you don't believe it, experience it—Time Flow!" Golden Constant-51,117 dismissively replied as if he were teaching a student.
But the moment his voice trailed off, Tomas's real consciousness suddenly felt like he was teleported into the middle of a maelstrom. Before he could utter or see where he was, he instantly turned into sand particles!
Asher was unaware of this little exchange between Golden Constant-51,117 and Tomas and the latter's ghastly demised. He was looking at Golden Constant-51,117 with astonishment and doubt since he didn't expect this guy to say something like this.
Still, he hesitates since if he could avoid this confrontation, he wouldn't have to suffer any backlash. But he was still extremely vigilant since he knew making a deal with this guy would be a huge danger in itself. Not to mention, with how cunning he seems, he might get tricked.
Nonetheless, he wanted to hear what he had to say first. While keeping his aura to a maximum, he coldly asked, "What are you plotting?"
If he senses even a little trickery, he would instantly use his true power to eliminate Golden Constant-51,117.
Golden Constant-51,117 calmly stated his demands as he wasn't bothered by Asher's stance, "It's quite simple. Actually, I want your help to capture a person who's very troublesome to deal with. That's why I need you to use your authority to drag his soul into this place while I take care of his body. After all, he seemed to be a member of your Dark City!"
