This mysterious crescent moon then began to tremble, while its illusory form morphed into something else entirely.

A sun.

As this transformation to the crescent moon occurred, the blue light it was emanating slowly became golden.

The time that was frozen for all living beings in the cosmos then began to reverse. And it wasn't a simple reversal of time.

The heavens that govern the universe itself were being forced to bend to this illusory crescent moon's Will.

It was a Will that no being in creation, not even the Heavens and the beings that lived with it, would dare go against.

It was the Will of Time.

Or at least a portion of it.

But despite being only a fragment of this Will, the crescent moon was still able to rewind time for all living beings.

The past became the present, and the present became an unknown future once more…

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

Sol continuously bang his head against the barrier, uncaring of the damage he was doing to his already wrecked body.

However, with a last head slam against the barrier, the pain soon forced Sol to stop and he knocked himself unconscious.

But even as he slipped into unconsciousness, his red eyes continued to glare at Adalhard.

Adalhard watch all of this, and he saw the look in Sol's eyes.

That look immediately caused him to completely scrap his idea of keeping Sol alive as his servant.

'This child, he'll only be a sword aiming at my back if he's left alive.'

Although it was a pity to let suck a talented youth go to waste, Adalhard unhesitatingly made his decision to kill Sol.

With a gesture from Adalhard, the barrier around him warped before condensing into a three-meter-long black spear with fanciful carvings on them.

Without wasting much time, Adalhard pointed at Sol, and the spear was sent flying towards him.

However…

Swoosh!

A green figure suddenly leaped out of the forest.

DANG!

A tree root then appeared from beneath the ground in front of Sol to deflect Adalhard's spear. Meanwhile, another tree root rose and wrapped around Sol's body; dragging him towards Little Zeel at the edge of the forest

"Who dares?!"

Adalhard seeing this roared, but when he saw it was a creature his eyes narrowed.

"A mere beast dare interferes? You can die along with that brat!"

Adalhard formed a hand seal with his only hand creating three more black spears from a sliver of the Holy Power he had remaining. Those three black spears rotated creating fierce winds as they pierced the void towards Little Zeel and Sol.

Little Zeel rushed forward and leaped on top of the vine carrying Sol, he then puffed out his little chest in a rather cute manner.

But don't be fooled but this cuteness, as Little Zeel puffed out his chest, vicious-looking tree roots with skin-tearing spikes all over them suddenly spurted from the ground to block Adalhard's spears.

As the two attacks met, several loud clangs rang out as if metal was clashing against metal.

Seeing this little animal blocking his attack, Adalhard realized it was no ordinary creature.

"An Ibbian Beast with such strength from a young age? This thing is the offspring of a Guardian Ibbian Beast!"

When Adalhard made this conclusion, he couldn't help but frown.

"How is it that a situation like this occurred just as I was about to kill that brat? What a lucky bastard. However, such luck does not happen twice!"

Adalhard's figure left an afterimage in his original position as he appeared several dozen meters away near Little Zeel.

Little Zeel who was struggling to pull Sol with his mouth and the help of his tree roots, began to panic when Adalhard appeared.

The cause of this delay was because of the bracelets Sol was wearing, it made him too heavy.

Adalhard waved his hand towards Little Zeel as he appeared. Little Zeel was unable to react and was sent flying by a black palm; smashing against a tree with a whimper.

Adalhard snorted, extremely annoyed he was forced to use up his limited amount of Holy Power. He was then about to turn around to kill Sol, but at the same time he turned a loud bang echoed out.

"Huh?"

Adalhard was confused. The sound came from the position where Sol was. However, when he looked, Sol's body was gone. What remained was a small black bracelet.

"This brat, where-?!"

Adalhard was about to yell, but a cold chill suddenly made its way down his spine.

Adalhard slowly turned around and saw Sol kneeling beside the creature he had slapped away.

'How-How did he get behind me?'

As Adalhard was baffled at this situation, Sol suddenly stood up after checking on Little Zeel.

Without saying a word he began walking towards Adalhard.

Adalhard who was closely watching him suddenly took a step back.

"W-What…?"

The step back was completely on instinct, and it even surprised Adalhard himself.

Something from Sol made him feel a deep sense of dread. However, Adalhard refused to accept such a thing.

"This brat! Just di-"

BANG!

Before Adalhard could finish his words, he was cut off by Sol's fist. He was sent flying with a loud bang. His body was tossed like a ragged doll in the air, and after rolling several tens of meters Adalhard finally came to a stop.

An indentation could be seen on the side of Adalhard's skull.

'I-If I hadn't reacted in time and formed a barrier, that attack would have shattered my skull. W-What is happening?'

Adalhard slowly raised into a sitting position and looked at Sol as approached him.

Steam radiated from his body and a dark ominous glow was emanating from his eyes.

Adalhard felt his hands and feet grow cold. His instincts were telling him if he didn't run now, he was going to die.

However, before Adalhard could make his escape, something in the sky caught his attention.

"This-This is…??!!"

Adalhard's eyes widen in shock and he stuttered out his words but was unable to finish them.

What he saw in the sky was the vague image of a terrifyingly large entity. It seemed like a giant that was holding up the very heavens themselves.

However, this entity's gaze was directed not at the heavens but at the earth. No, in fact, the entity seemed to be looking at something.

'Oh, Lord Ga-On, protect this child. For what reason would such a mighty entity appear to observe us mortals on earth?'

In his shock stupor, Adalhard found himself asking this.

However, he quickly realized something.

Why did the entity seem to be looking at him specifically?

It was then that Adalhard met the entity's gaze, and immediately he recognized the look in its eyes.

"What?! N-No, this is simply absurd, just what is this situation?!!"

Adalhard cried out in alarm when he realize it wasn't just a feeling, but this entity who seemed to be a God from the heavens was looking at him!

And that look in its eyes was exactly the same as Sol's own!

In that place unknown to Mortals, the large entity inside the void had his golden eyes snapped open.

"This is…"

A look of shock could be seen in them.

However, the look in his eyes suddenly turned cold, bordering on murderous intentions.

"The Heavenly Laws are slightly disturbed. It is not a coincidence my son had just died when this feeling appeared. Wait, could it be… that abomination is still alive?"

The large being's voice, which was filled with rage, shook the void and distorted space.

However, after a moment, his anger died down.

"No, perhaps this is good. I could use this situation to my favor."

As the large being said this, a profound look that no mortal man could possess flickered brightly in his eyes. The large being then closed them allowing the void to return to its calm state.

However, this large being wasn't the only one that felt the slight shift in the Heavenly Laws. And though he knew the cause of it, the rest did not know.

As a result, pandemonium swept across this Realm no Mortal can enter, and the search for the source of the Heavenly Laws distortion was carried out by scouring the Realm.

But they would not find anything as they were looking in the wrong Realm.
