18 017- So It Was Me....

'What the heck is a titan doing here! One in human form at that?' The wife who had just lost her husband was still jumping through space, towards her daughter.

[Leap!]

"Mother! What's wrong?!" Her daughter had used a skill to jump towards her, intercepting each other at the door.

"No time! We need to go right now!" Said the mother reverting back to her human form, and picking up her daughter.

"Mo-"

Shing!~

The mother looked down to see a blood red object piercing her and her daughter at the same time.

"No...Escape!" The mother saw a Blood Red figure appear in front of her.

"D-Daddy? I missed you..." The little girl said, holding her arms out to this monster.

Pak!~

A loud hit rung through the air.

Puff~

The mother coughed up blood, shielding her daughter from the dangerously hard hit.

[Replenish!]

The mother stuck her hands out at her child. The wounds on the girl all slowly disappeared while the girl regained her once pure color.

'This is all I have left!'

[Isolate!]

She cast one last spell on her daughter. The unconscious girl, turned pure gray, even her clothes. The movement of her body, everything, froze. Her body was slowly being covered in a layer of purples blocks, similar to what you would see when a video game was glitching.

'Looks like I've run out of mana...' The woman turned towards the slime and didn't hesitate.

She threw her fist with all her might, clawing through the slime with ease. The slime easily split into 3 parts under the 3 taloned claw of the woman.

"Ha...looks like you weren't as tou-" Before she could finish her sentence she saw the puddle of goop reform itself in a matter of seconds.

"Die!" Before it had even fully reformed, it was already dashing towards the woman.

'This is how it goes down huh.....At least I managed to pull off the [Isolate] spell...if I wasn't a Kin of Rajah.'

Time seemed to slow around her, and it didn't seem to be her life flashing before her. It was literally time slowing down. she could see the eyes of the slime, which were moving around rapidly, as if it was trying to figure out what was happening.

"M-mommy? What's going on?" The mother couldn't turn her head, but she could move her eyes. She looked to her right and saw her daughter standing up, looking at her hands, examining her body.

There were clocks for pupils in her daughters eyes, numbers flying across her skin.

'Wha?! T-T-Time Magic! My daughter can use Time Magic!'

The mother was well studied in the magic area, she knew all types of magic. What you gained when you unlocked the magic, and base spells for almost every type.

One of the only magics she didn't know very well was Time magic! Although she didn't know much, she did know the basic spell one gained when they unlocked time magic.

"Mommy!" When her daughter said this she felt time going back to normal around her.

"Arcana! Use [Revert] on me!" Her mother said the second she could move again.

Although the little girl, Arcana, didn't know much about what her mom was talking about. She remembered the information that flushed into her head when she woke up! Revert was the skill she had used on herself when she woke up out of instinct.

[Revert!]

Arcana screamed this spell, and a clock hand appeared behind the mother, pulling what seemed to be another version of herself out of her own body. Her old body collapsing into the ground, turning into dust and flying away.

This version had zero injuries, and seemed much younger!

"Come on!"

The second the woman felt better she dashed to her daughter, snatched her away and blinked with her in hands.

[Blink!]

She looked back before her third blink she turned back and saw the slime slowly moving towards them, taking what seemed to be one step every 5 seconds.

"We cant stop anymore!"

------------------------------------------------------------

In a certain Icy Throne Room, there was a dark blue humanoid sitting on the throne. With a extremely maniacal smile on its face.

'"It looks like he'll lose control even sooner than I thought!"

"Well...If he doesn't learn how to control it soon, he'll have an even bigger problem."

------------------------------------------------------------

"Wha- Where am I?" Seiya was waking up, he had a splitting headache.

'Ugh! What is that smell?!' He got up and almost slipped on the water under him.

"Wait...Water isn't red?" He had looked at his hand when he slipped and saw his blue hand was completely covered in red liquid. He smelt it, and noticed it had the very familiar smell of iron.

"Blood?"

Seiya slowly looked at his surroundings and noticed he was in a village, a completely destroyed one at that.

He was going to stand up but slipped on the bumpy ground.

'What the heck am I sitting on!'

He got a good grip of the surface he was on and pulled himself up to see what he had just slipped on.

"Wha-!" Once he got up and looked under him he saw a pile of bodies! A large number of them too, with a insurmountable of cuts, wounds, and severed limbs.

"Who did this!" He had a creepy intuition that he was the one who caused this but he didn't want to accept it.

[Blood Harvest: Deactivated]

'So it was me...' This was clear proof that it was him. Considering even though all of the people had wounds that would cause an uncontrollable amount of blood, there was no blood at all!

'What went wrong!' He pulled up his status screen and checked his predator skill.

--Predator I--

------------------------------------------------------------

"HOW DID I MISS SUCH A HUGE SECTION!?!?!"

Seiya had felt like he had lost all hope in himself considering he missed the most important part about the skill!

He wanted to die knowing that he could have prevented a massacre if he wouldn't gotten ahead of himself. He had lost almost all of his empathy emotion by turning into a slime, but he still knew what he needed to do.

------------------------------------------------------------

"I know this isn't enough payment, but I hope you may all forgive me. In fact, it wasn't even me that did this. I'm sorry." Seiya had his hands clasped together and was bowing towards a makeshift...Cemetery?

Yup, he had made a whole cemetery and buried every single body he killed.

At least he had the right idea, even though he was forgetting an important skill he had, he had the right idea.
