The Author's POV

Chapter 499

"Are you afraid that I will take over your body?"

His soft voice continued to ring inside of my head.

"Don't worry.

Clank. Clank. Clank.

I heard a familiar rattling sound.

"Even if I wanted to take over your body, with these chains binding me, there's no way for me to do that."

Clank!

Pulling his arm, the rattling stopped and a loud metallic ring echoed through the air.

"As you can see, no matter what I do, I will always be bound by the chains. I can't take over your body even if I wanted it to..."

I wanted to deny his words, but I knew.

I knew that he was telling the truth.

I couldn't explain it. But, I could tell that he wasn't lying about this.

Was it because he was me? ...or was this another mind trick? I no longer could tell.

"You can choose to not believe me, but you don't have time."

I gazed at the projection.

He was right. I didn't have much time.

Staring at the demon that was fast approaching me with his sharp nails aimed at my head, I knew that it was only a matter of seconds now.

"Use it."

Ren urged. His voice lowered into a whisper.

"Use Monarch's indifference. See it for yourself. Your true strength."

Closing my eyes, I bit the bottom of my lips. Opening them again, and staring at the nail that was only now a couple of inches away from my face...

My head began to lower.

Opening my mouth, I muttered.

"Monarch's indifference."

.....The world warped and the scenery changed.

Without even realizing it, I found myself inside the hall of the castle. I then turned my head and found everything around me revolved in slow motion.

'Eyes of Chronos.'

I realized that my skill was turned on. Not only that but so was 'The one.'

All of my skills were activated.

But most surprising was the fact that I could move in this slowed-down reality. It was an odd and inexplicable sensation that I couldn't describe in words.

My emotions. They were numb.

I couldn't feel anything.

But unlike in the past, I felt in control. It no longer felt like someone was controlling me. I was the one in control this time, not the other me.

I then raised my finger, and time-warped.

Cling—!

"I...Impossible."

A startled, and terrified voice reached my ears.

My eyes slowly blinked.

Turning my head to gaze at my finger, I noticed the sharp nail; reminiscent of a sharp sword, clinging onto it. A powerful wave of demonic energy vailed the body of the nail.

The pressure that was coming out of it was terrifying.

Or at least, it was supposed to...

Meeting his gaze, the only words I could mutter were.
