When James read his profile, he saw that two of his statuses had increased enormously. His Intelligence had improved by 100 points and his Magic status had risen by 500.
Not knowing much about what was going on, he turned to Chronos and asked, "Do you have an explanation?"
Chronos smiled and then shook his head and said, "I gave you a taste of time, I don\'t know exactly what you saw because it\'s not a place I look at anymore, the last time I was in there I was just a kid, one of them trying to become a god of time."
James took a deep breath and then said, "I saw many stars forming, I even saw supernovas, they were really beautiful."
Hearing these words, Chronos\' smile grew even wider and then he said, "So I sent it to the right place, that\'s a plus, good to know!" and threw the wooden sword in front of James again.
"This time you will use time and try to oppose me," Chronos said and got into a fighting stance and waited for James.
"I still don\'t know how to use it, old man, are you out of your mind?" he asked when James shook his head again in a strange way.
At James\' words, Chronos pointed his sword at him and suddenly disappeared.
When James thought he was going to be beaten again, he suddenly closed his eyes and when he opened them again, he realised that everyone and everything around him was frozen.
"Woah...." James suddenly said and suddenly everything sped up again. James was confronted with a sword standing right in front of his eyes.
"CHRONOS HAVE YOU GONE MAD?!" shouted Nemesis suddenly, hugging James tightly.
Seeing James smiling, Nemesis was confused and then asked, "Are you alright James?" just as Chronos\' voice was heard:
"So, how was it? How did it feel to have everything stop for a second, to be faster than everyone, to be faster than even the most powerful goddess?"
At these words of Chronos, everyone in the hall turned into a dazed state. It was obvious that Nyx and Erebus had felt something, which was why they turned and stared at James.
"Did you manage to use it?" Nemesis asked, looking pleased.
"I mean, I think it was because I was scared of passing out again, I don\'t understand... I just used it." James said, and then added, "It felt fucking amazing."
When Chronos heard these words, he took a few steps back again and then said, "Then stand up. Each time you use it, your energy will get lower and lower and eventually you will pass out, until then I will attack you again and again and again."
James\' expression was all smiles, the young man was enjoying himself.
Gently disentangling himself from Nemesis, James stood up and then picked up the sword in front of him, shifting from an offensive to a defensive stance and then inhaling and exhaling deeply.
"There\'s a feast today, I think we should leave before we pass out," James said with a smile but Chronos had already disappeared, James felt the element of time again in every cell of his body, this time he could see everyone and everything more clearly.
It was as if he was getting used to the power.
He could see Chronos smiling right in front of him, the sword aimed right at his neck.
It was as if one second of \'stopping time\' took tens of hours. Every detail around, the characteristics of each detail had become visible to James.
At that very moment, James ducked, but still, his reflex was not enough for that.
"AGHK!!!"
As James ducked, the sword strike hit his head, spinning left and right on the ground and holding his head in pain.
Nyx and the others were about to get angry at Chronos when the look of surprise on the old man\'s face became visible.
"You are far, far more skilful than I realised young man, get up, we will continue again and again and again. Each time I will use my time element to push you harder and harder, you may take a lot of hits, but things will get better." Chronos said suddenly, his grip tightening on the sword in his hand, clearly intrigued by James.
James was on his feet a few seconds later, his head was swollen, looking like a scene from a cartoon series.
He picked up his sword again and took up a defensive stance, he was aware that his head ached enormously, not from the blows he had taken but from the exhaustion of his energy.
As he breathed deeply again, time slowed and stopped for him, but this time Chronos was faster, as if Chronos was using the time element to neutralise James.
Such an elaborate use would never have occurred to James, it was as if he was trying to neutralise water and fire, but this time it was time neutralising another time.
It was really an incredible sight.
