Meet the principal

In an instant, whether it is the rebirth of dead thunder or the surging waves, every flower and leaf is frozen.

Reiner seemed to be in a still moment. He tried to raise his hand, but found that his arm was as heavy as a stone and it was difficult to move.

Not only that, Reiner's whole body seemed to be bound by some mysterious force, unable to move at all.

The next moment, the ripples that spread out from Reiner's body seemed to be rewinding back to the original point, and the world started to move again.

Thunder strikes down the sea, tides tear apart everything, and everything works as it should.

"Is it really impossible to break free?"

Reiner was a little surprised. Although he had expected it in advance, he still felt a little disappointed because of the limitations of this spell.

It is true that Reiner stopped time just now, but at the same time, he himself was unable to move due to the transformation of mass into energy, which resulted in him being unable to take any action during the stopped time.

This eighth-level spell has been engraved in Reiner's heart, and he has become a quasi-eighth-level mage.

But Reiner still couldn't let go. He repeated the process of casting the spell several times, but still maintained the same state as the first time.

After thinking for a long time, Reiner suddenly had an inspiration, and the ripples around him spread again.

Only this time, the world didn't come to a complete standstill.

At this moment, a clicking sound seemed to be heard, like the timing button of a pocket watch being pressed, and the sound of the stopwatch running became the only melody in the whole world.

Tick ​​tock tick tock——

The falling lightning slowly struck the sea at a speed visible to the naked eye, and splashes of water were scattered in all directions. Everything was not still, but it was no different from stillness.

Tick ​​tock tick tock——

At this time, Reiner tried to raise his arm again.

This time, although he still endured huge resistance, Reiner was able to lift his arm and make certain movements. He made his magic weapon use all its magic power and moved a distance of five meters with great difficulty. .

Click——

Accompanied by another crisp key sound,

The next second, the ripples that spread to the entire world returned to Reiner's body. He saw that the slowly falling lightning suddenly became faster, the splashing water returned to normal, and he also moved five meters from where he was just now.

"Sure enough, even I can't move in absolutely still time, but if I just slow down time, I can also move in it. Although it consumes a lot of magic power, it is extremely crucial."

Reiner looked at the palm of his hand. Just moving five meters had consumed a lot of his magic power. It was as if he had been flying at supersonic speed for several hours. A wave of fatigue came over him, leaving Reiner mentally and physically exhausted.

He landed on the shore and muttered to himself.

"This spell actually achieves the purpose of delaying time by accelerating myself, and the end of acceleration is the speed of light. Now the time I can pause is one second, and through practice and optimization, I should be able to increase this pause time."

Although five meters is not a distance worthy of praise in the eyes of most mages, in some critical situations, this distance will become the dividing line between survival and destruction. And, with Reiner's understanding of spells and concepts, this distance Time will continue to rise, and the distance he can move will also increase.

"When approaching the speed of light, a large amount of energy is converted into mass. This is the fundamental reason for the huge resistance to movement. If I can master the method of converting mass into energy, then maybe I can reduce this resistance and carry out more move."

Reiner thought, of course, this was just his guess, and the specific practice might not be clear until he completed the remaining theoretical work.

After completing the final digestion work, Reiner was about to return to the real world when he suddenly remembered that he had not given a name to his newly created spell.

Although this spell is Reiner's unique spell, he is not prepared to share it, and it is impossible for others to steal it. However, naming a spell can form a certain degree of psychological suggestion, which makes the mage use the spell. It can be done more quickly, which is why the names of many spells are prefixed with the name of the creator or improver.

After thinking for a moment, Reiner realized that he didn't need to be so entangled at all. With a thought, the eight-ring spell that had just been engraved in his heart had its own name.

--world.

...

Somewhere in the world, in a simple and featureless hut, a woman wearing an inconspicuous coarse robe slowly lifted her hood, revealing her long silver hair.

Even though she was wearing shabby clothes, she couldn't hide her beautiful appearance. She even seemed to be a little more beautiful than at the beginning.

Phyllis Iain Gray, the eldest daughter of the Iain Gray family, is currently on the run.

She slipped out while all the mages were focusing on dealing with the overwhelming Sauron alien craze, and at the same time took away the world's memories from the previous era.

Rather, her original goal was this box.

Phyllis took out this inconspicuous box from her storage bag and opened it gently. The bright light of the Philosopher's Stone inside dyed the entire room crimson.

"He actually thought of storing the core and the structure separately. Master Hohenheim is indeed a legendary mage."

Phyllis murmured to herself, looking at the Philosopher's Stone that reflected countless images, and then quietly closed the box.

"The memory of the world is not only a history of destruction, but also a history of creation."

She said that in the memory of the world from the last era, there are clearly some extremely advanced creations. These things rely on pure magic power to move and have powerful power that the current mages cannot match. Phyllis's goal is to obtain these things.

"The Serpents of Chaos are trying to acquire these creations from the last era to fight against the mages, but they are too short-sighted to realize our real enemy. Even the High Council is in a fog and cannot see the future. "

Phyllis sighed softly, feeling quite helpless.

She even thought about finding her inexperienced brother Reiner and the two of them working together. However, as a high-level mage, Reiner must have many connections with the high-level council. Regardless of whether he would believe her or not, Felice just got close. It was already extremely difficult around Reiner.

However, Phyllis still found a way.

She found a flyer in a coat pocket instead of a storage bag.

A flyer about an upcoming meeting, in which her lovely brother Reiner will definitely attend, giving Phyllis an opportunity to get in touch with him.

After folding the flyer, Phyllis turned her gaze out the window and looked at the huge star gate in the distance.
