I Got A Title: Lord Of The Time!-Chapter 94: I lost...
The creature that Lin saw resembled a strange modern sculpture made of black metal beams!
The entire body of the Distorted creature was covered with a black viscous substance, and the body itself was elongated upward with thin body parts that looked quite terrifying. The face of this Distorted creature was asymmetrical: the left part was significantly larger than the right, which added an even greater sense of rejection and disgust toward it.
But this appearance could be calmly endured by Lin.
He was not surprised by the Distorted creature itself. Back at the beginning, when the black hand appeared from the black puddle, he immediately summoned the Title System to check the statistics of this creature and was shocked!
Lin gave a crooked smile and looked at the blue screen beside him:
[Distorted Creature: Mixed Desires.]
[Rank: Demon.]
[Abilities:
— "Power of Darkness (Lvl.4)"
— "Distortion of Desires (Lvl.3)"
— "Agony of Mortals (Lvl.2)"
— "Black Slime (Lvl.4)".]
[Description: Born from the blood and desires of mortals, it wanted much but achieved nothing. Distortion destroyed everything, but the people blamed the aristocrats for this, and inside them arose all sorts of desires, which grew into the goal of their entire lives. When several people decided to fully succumb to Distortion, they became this: — Mixed Desires.]
"Interesting... The story of this Distorted creature is very unusual, I think if researchers learn about it, they may rethink their initial ideas about the life of mortals in this world, and why Distortion was able to destroy them so much," Lin roughly laughed and looked at the dark sky.
"In any case, this will only happen when I can successfully find myself on Earth... And now," he returned his gaze to the Distorted creature, which was not taking any action, and thought: "I should focus on the upcoming battle... Although calling it a "battle" — I think would be incorrect. It’s more like "run away faster"..."
Lin shook his head and raised his gaze, which became completely cold, and focused on the Distorted creature.
Suddenly, he raised the axe and rushed to the side, wanting to climb some tree!
The Distorted creature observed Lin’s actions with great interest and took no action, as if wanting to play with Lin in this "game."
When Lin, in a moment, reached the nearest tree, he jumped and began climbing the trunk to get to the top and start acting from there!
The Distorted creature brightly smiled, scattering its black substance everywhere. It slowly raised its thin black hand and pointed it at the tree where Lin was.
Suddenly, the entire tree began to be covered with black substance, which reduced the size of the tree more and more!
Lin coldly snorted and jumped down, watching the Distorted creature and the tree he had just been on.
"How unusual..." Lin saw how a 15-16 meter tree instantly shrank to the size of a golf ball!
Lin looked at the Distorted creature with contempt and quickly asked:
"You decided not to confront me but to use your powers to prevent me from leaving?"
The Distorted creature only brightly smiled and clearly did not deny Lin’s words. It slowly lowered its hand and then waited for new attempts from Lin to get out of here.
Lin sighed and thought:
"It has the ability to move, destroy, and also to Distort... Even if I had a katana or dozens of attempts to use my skill, I would hardly be able to defeat it," Lin summoned his status to evaluate it:
[Status:
— Physical health: 86%
— Mental health: 85%
— Distortion: 69%]
"69%... If I use the skill again, I will definitely become Distorted. And I don’t think that by using the skill, I will be able to stop this creature. It’s just playing with me."
Tap!! Tap!! Tap!!
While Lin was thinking, behind him appeared another Distorted creature, the one he had been running from earlier.
It stopped in place and looked at Lin with anger but took no action to attack him.
"Another Distorted creature... I really can’t get out of here," Lin looked back and glanced at the creature that had been chasing him all this time.
"In front — a Distorted creature of rank: Demon. Behind — a Distorted creature of rank: Monster. On the sides, a forest where I could try to hide, but most likely they will quickly throw me out... What’s left for me?" Lin smiled widely and then laughed like a madman:
"Ha-ha-ha-ha! I don’t care! If you want to play with me, then so be it!"
Lin ran forward at incredible speed and simply decided to attack the main one here!
The Distorted creature brightly smiled and waited for Lin’s next actions.
Slow Motion Perception!
"I will die anyway, better to die trying to change everything!" Lin quickly created a slowed time zone using his skill and tried to bypass the Distorted creature!
But unfortunately, the Distorted creature looked at Lin at normal speed, clearly unconcerned about the slowed time!
"In... Te... Rest... Ing..." throughout the dark forest echoed this rough and hoarse voice, which seemed to hold endless experiences and regrets!
Lin naturally expected this, so he decided to raise the axe and lower it onto the Distorted creature!
But when the axe touched the head of the Distorted creature, it instantly turned black and crumbled into many black particles!
Lin realized that the axe would not work, so he decided to use his leg!
He raised his right leg and struck it at the face of the Distorted creature!
Bam!
He didn’t care what would happen to the leg. Lin raised other parts of his body and began to use them to strike the Distorted creature!
Bam!
With his right fist, he struck the jaw!
Bam!
With his left fist, he struck the side of the abdomen!
Bam!
Raising his right knee, he delivered a blow!
Lin performed dozens of different attacks using his body on the Distorted creature until the slowed time zone disappeared!
When Lin’s skill expired, its Price began to take effect, causing him to feel strong forgetfulness, several times stronger than before!
"What? Where am I? Who am I? Is this my world? Ah... What was that word?.. Seems... I... How... Where words? What are words? What is: "What"? Why am I asking these questions? Do I know what a "question" is? Then, what is your "why"? What? I... W... H..." Lin looked around and completely forgot how to speak and think.
He, like a small child — understood nothing. Until suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his stomach.
"Aaaa!!! Aaaa!!!! I... P... A..." Lin, in agony, began crawling in different directions, forgetting his identity and who he was.
He looked at the Distorted creature and raised his hand, trying to call for help, but then realized that he was in a completely bloody place!
"W?.. H?.." he looked around until he began to feel even stronger pain in his stomach, as if something was inside him!
"Aaaaaa!!! Aaaaaa!!!"
Suddenly, the surrounding views changed, and Lin found himself in the depths of the sea!
"Distortion... Distortion... Distortion..."
Many quiet voices echoed in Lin’s head; he did not understand the meaning of the word: "Distorted" and looked around in panic, continuing to feel strong pain!
Crack! Crack!
Cracks began to appear in the very space, and soon it completely shattered like ordinary glass!
Lin found himself in a completely white space. He looked around and suddenly remembered everything.
"Is this the end?.." Lin lost all strength and collapsed, becoming hunched.
With completely lifeless eyes, he summoned his status:
[Status:
— Physical health: 57%
— Mental health: 68%
— Distortion: 99%]
Lin looked at his status with an ordinary expression and was silent.
Suddenly, he thought:
"99%..." after his thoughts, throughout the white space echoed:
"99%!"
Lin showed no emotion when he heard the echo. At this moment, nothing concerned him, and he continued his thoughts:
"I will die. No. I will not die, I will become a Distorted creature with time abilities... Is this my last moment before final transformation? Although does it even matter? I lost."
"When you did not fulfill the goal of your whole life — you feel pain. I also feel pain... Strong. Very strong..." a transparent tear fell onto Lin’s legs.
Lin, with lifeless eyes staring at one point, sat and cried.
He made no sounds.
He quietly cried and thought about nothing and no one.
He felt strong pain throughout his body and began slowly losing himself.
His body swelled on different sides, and his two eyes exploded, leaving two completely black circles there, removing any vision for Lin.
He began turning into a Distorted creature.
But Lin had already lost himself.
He disappeared.
