NOVEL WEB Chapter 82 A Complete Resonance
"If you don't know what it is then just forget about it. But I cannot just leave you empty-handed. I recognize that tenacity of yours. You must have trained yourself to death before getting that resonance. So I'll show you something in return,"
Dragonnel was the one that said this and Araton immediately took a step back when he saw the mad smile on Dragonnel's face! Dragonne sounded like he was doing Araton a favor, but that smile was more demonic than anything Araton had ever seen.
Dragonnel hummed as he tilted his head to the side. This much shouldn't strain the demon lord at all, right? No. Master has a lot of Mana. I'll just borrow half of it. He can get more from the world later.
Araton saw Dragonnel raise his hand and he immediately turned and ran! He didn't know what was about to happen, but he didn't have any intention of finding out! The amount of bloodlust coming out of Dagonnel right now was immeasurable! If Araton stayed here then he would -
A large clock that glowed in majestic blue appeared behind Dragonnel as his smile widened! How long has it been since he did this!? A thousand years at least! He was actually excited!
Dragonnel's power centered around Ice. The control of ice was very versatile and it allowed people to perform many feats! If you have enough mastery over ice you will be able to freeze anything! From fire itself to even the air and sea! But what if you had so much mastery over it that you could go beyond that? What if you could freeze time itself? That level of mastery is impossible for the human mind to comprehend! No skill or spell would allow people to ever affect time itself!
But magic resonance was a power that went beyond the realm of normal thinking and into the realm of the impossible!
[Magic Resonance: Frozen Time]
Everything stopped.
From the wind in the air to the great sea outside Aquinas. The heart and bodies of everyone in the world stopped and only Dragonnel and Araton existed in reality. Araton stopped running as he saw that there was no longer any sound reaching him. Did someone turn off the volume?
He turned around and saw Dragonnel standing in the same spot as before. Araton took a step back again and when he noticed that Dragonnel wasn't chasing him, he started to run again, but there was something wrong! He wasn't moving!
No matter how much Araton strained to run forward, his feet were just staying in the same place! Araton turned around again and saw that Dragonnel's smile had widened! It was so demonic! God! Is this what he called resonance? What kind of power is this!?
Dragonnel gave a mental command and Araton's body turned around and walked backward without his consent as he started to move towards Dragonnel! Araton tried to break free from Dragonnel's control, but he didn't have control of his body anymore! Dragonnel could even reverse time!?
Dragonnel was having fun. He chuckled as he released his hold on Araton and allowed him to run forward a few steps before he applied his resonance once more and started to make Araton's time run backward again and Araton started to move backward.
Dragonnel stopped rewinding time and Araton grunted as he fell to his behind! He saw Dragonnel was still smiling and despair filled him as he realized that Dragonnel wasn't even trying! Dragonnel was just playing with him! Araton already lost from the beginning! This isn't a power he can fight!
Dragonnel could control all the time within this space. This world was his very own [Frozen Time] and he can rewind, freeze, and speed-up time however he wants inside here. It was the ultimate level of ice magic.
"Do you see it? This is resonance. A power that can erode sense and reason and make the laws of nature bow to your every whim. If used properly, it will make you unstoppable. You didn't have it for very long, and that is the reason why you couldn't perfect it. But I decided to show you this much at least so that if you are ever reborn you can have something to strive for."
Dragonnel still had that carefree smile on his face as he stepped forward and looked down at Araton. He put his hand on Aratons head and Araton could only look up in fear as an intense cold spread across his brain.
Dragonnel rose a brow in exoectation. Does this man have no manners?
"Well, what do you say? Didn't I give you something good?"
Araton didn't know what Dragonnel was talking about. Would Dragonnel spare him if he says that right thing here? Maybe I should just thank him so that he will let me go? Now that I've seen this power, I know that I can become stronger. If I continue training my Resonance I can become very strong I don't need to hold onto pride in a situation like this. I need to save my life! Araton spoke with a shaky smile.
"Thank you,"
"Good. That's much better"
Dragonnel's grin widened as the cold intensified! Araton was about to shout for mercy, but he could only open his mouth wide before his head froze and then broke with a loud Crack!
....
Dray was running. His breaths were coming out in large pants as he raced down the academy hallway! He ignored his tiredness! He ignored the dead bodies that he could see on both sides of the hall! He ignored everything!
"Willow!!!!"
Dray and Willow were not together when the invasion started. After they met the duke in the port, they went back to the academy since they would be having a class soon. The both of them were in separate classes, so Dray and Willow had to split up and go to their classes.
When the invasion started, the teachers in the school immediately started to usher the students out of the school. The students were only going to get in the way of the other soldiers as they fought the demons. The teachers told all the students to run toward the bunkers that the kingdom built for citizens to hide in case of emergencies! The bunker was located at the church and the students would be safe there with the other civilians. Dray was already running there with his classmates. He knew that if he even went close to the demons now then he would die without putting up any sort of fight! He was pathetically weak since his seal was still active and there is nothing an F-class can do against the demons. But then he heard something.
"Did you hear!? The S-class students stayed back and they're fighting too!"
"Really!? How can the teachers allow that!?"
"Some of them are even stronger than the teachers so it's not surprising! Hopefully, they will be able to fight off the demons. I don't even know what going on - Hey! Dray! Dray, what do you think you're doing!? Don't run back!"
Dray didn't even finish hearing what they were talking about! Immediately he heard that the S-class students were fighting against the demons he turned around and bolted! He couldn't believe the teachers were so stupid! How can they allow children to fight the demons!? Don't they know that the S-class are children as well? Don't they know that Willow is a fucking child!?
Dray was able to get back to the academy to look for Willow. He could hear a lot of fighting coming from the center training ground and he started to run there! He knew that the demon army was coming from the front gates and that was why he was able to use the garden behind the school to enter. That garden was the same place where he and Willow would always meet up so he knew it like the back of his hand.
Dray continued to run through the school and he couldn't believe how many dead bodies he could see around him. The students left the academy only a few minutes ago and the demons were able to kill these many people in just that short time? There were dead bodies everywhere!
