Chapter 95: An Ued clusion

  As mentioned before, there are many ways to manipute time.

  You influence your enemies, but you also influence yourself.

  Alex didn’t care o for Kiritsugu Emiya's Time Alter ability, which was essentially just speeding up or slowing down his body. That’s a method a mere mortal like Emiya had to rely on for bat. For Alex, with his Zerg-enhanced body, he could already beat someone like Emiya—who was using tenfold Time Alter—a huimes over.

  Of course, with Alex’s current modified body, his survival might not even be a question, but Emiya Kiritsugu’s was definitely not in doubt—he wouldn’t survive.

  So, for Alex, there was only oher way to use time manipution that could both be him and weaken his enemies.

  Future Sight.

  This was the reason Alex had been able to dodge Bel’s attacks so easily. Beyond the evasion teiques he learned in the Dark Souls world, he had also been using Future Sight. Alex had trated all of his time manipution ability into his left eye, allowing him to see several seds into the future. That’s how he had mao hold his ground against Bel. Without this near-preitive power, Bel might have escaped or bee a much bigger headache.

  No, truthfully, she was already giving him a headache.

  Looking at the six-armed serpent demon pinned beh a rge boulder, Alex rubbed his forehead. Having one eye fixed on the present and the other oure sounded cool, but in practice, it was exhausting. Alex didn’t know if true future sight gave others headaches, but after maintaining it for this long, he could feel a dull pain creeping into his skull. It wasn’t just the strain of using the power, but also the mental effort of choosiweewo visions—distinguishiween the present and the future.

  If he got them mixed up, future sight wouldn’t be a cheat ability—it would be a lethal curse.

  But thanks to Future Sight, Alex had mao deal with the six-armed serpent demon so smoothly... though, teically, she wasn’t dead yet. But in Alex’s eyes, her death was only a matter of time.

  At that moment, Ikaros reappeared beside Alex, revealing herself. She kept a wary eye on Bel while hiding cautiously behind Alex.

  "A mere mortal and an angel weaker than a lowly imp... I ’t believe I’m losing to the likes of you!" Bel spat venomously, her six arms ched into fists.

  "But don’t think you’ve wo—"

  Before Bel could finish her sentence, a pilr of light suddenly desded from the sky, enveloping her. At the same time, a deep voice reverberated through the ruins.

  "Demon, this pce is not meant for you. Accept your fate!"

  As the old bishop’s voice rang out, the pilr of holy light grew brighter. Alex watched as tless dark bats flew out from the shadows, fpping their wings frantically as they gathered together. From within the swarm, a figure radiating a sacred aura emerged—a vampire bishop holding a holy book, walking forward with dignity and grace.

  "..."

  Seeing this, Alex hesitated, but in the end, he said nothing.

  A vampire using holy light... there’s just too much irony here, I don’t even know where to start.

  "This time, you won’t have any ce to escape, Bel. Be purified by the holy light!"

  As the vampire bishop’s voice thuhe pilr of light expanded. Alex watched as Bel’s expression twisted in pain, the shadows surroundiarting to fade. But that wasn’t the important part. What caught Alex’s attention was a small green shat slithered out from beh Bel’s body, writhing in agony as it emerged, screeg in fury.

  "You holy light users are so vile!!!"

  Click. Click.Alex clicked his tongue, shaking his head. As expected, Bel was devious. While she had been stalling by pretending to be the big boss, she had secretly been trying to escape irue form—a cssiove.

  But...

  Alex g the vampire bishop. The bishop looked majestid imposing, bathed in holy light, exuding a natural aura of authority. Hmm... if you repced the holy light with a bllow, he’d look just like a vampire archduke, maybe even t Dracu.

  Alex was tempted to ask the bishop if he had once been a boss-level entity before joining the Holy Church, because he certainly seemed to know a lot about boss tactics.

  But before Alex could ent further, his expression suddenly shifted.

  "Something’s wrong, fall back!!"

  "You will all pay for what you’ve done!!"

  Before Alex could finish his warning, the small green she true form of Bel—let out a furious roar. Immediately, a dark and ominous energy surged from the snake’s body, f a bck, hemispherical barrier that expanded outward, forcefully pushing back the holy light. At the same time, both the small snake and Bel’s previous body began to fade, as the massive shadow of an even rger six-armed serpent demon started to materialize.

  "Not good!"Seeing the se unfold, the vampire bishop's face turned pale. He hurriedly raised his holy book, but before he could act, a thunderous roar echoed through the air as tless bolts of bck lightning suddenly materialized, striking the ground around them. At the same time, the figure of the six-armed serpent demon grew rger and rger.

  Of course, a sed form... BOSS fights never skip this phase!

  Seeing the sudden appearance of the bck lightning, Alex quickly grabbed Ikaros and raised his right hand, switg to the [Kerrigan] soul stone and activating his psionic shield. He had no idea how powerful this bck lightning was, but he wasn’t about to test it. The very ground, crag and crumbling where the lightning struck, was enough to prove that these weren't just some decorative effects during the boss’s transformation!

  "She's activating her Soul's Eye! We o stop her!"The vampire bishop’s face twisted in fear as he hurriedly retreated, joining Alex ihe psionic shield. Alex g the bishop, raising an eyebrow.

  "Soul's Eye? we stop it?"Alex asked, his tone calm despite the urgency.

  "It's difficult!"The bishop frowned deeply, his holy book dimming, the once-bright light pilr that had been attag the demon also fading.

  "I’ve only heard rumors of the six-armed serpent demon lord’s third eye. It's said that she was born in the Abyss with three eyes, and the third eye allows her to absorb the power of souls. The more she kills, the stronger she bees. There are even tales that her third eye is where her soul truly resides..."

  So, it's basically a real-life version of gaining XP by killing?

  Alex couldn’t help but gnce curiously at the six-armed serpent demon.Is she a fellow transmigrator too?

  "You won’t escape!!"With a roar of fury, Bel spread her influehe surrounding corpses—those of meraries and cultists—began to shrivel, their blood and souls being drained by an unseen ford merging with Bel’s growing form. In that moment, she seemed like the embodiment of a blood god.

  "You will all die here! Tremble before my Soul’s Eye! I will devour your souls and—"

  As Bel slowly raised her hand towards her forehead, Alex, Ikaros, and the bishop tensed. But Alex’s expression seemed oddly amused, for he had already glimpsed what was about to unfold through his Future Sight.

  Is my ability malfuning?

  At that moment, as Bel's hand reached the ter of her forehead, her expression suddenly twisted in fusion.

  "Where is my Soul’s Eye? How could it be—how is it in your possession?!"

  Realizing something was wrong, Bel's gaze darted toward Alex and his panions. At the same time, Ikaros held up a small, glowing red orb—the very object she had taken from the broken statue’s forehead earlier.

  "You mean this?"Alex asked, his voice dripping with irony. He and the bishop followed Bel's gaze and quickly uood what had happened.

  "Give it back!!"Bel shrieked, her figure blurring as she rushed forward, a wave of blood and fury following her, i on reg her Soul’s Eye.

  But at that moment, the vampire bishop turoward the orb in Ikaros' hand and bellowed.

  "Holy Light Judgment!!"

  With the bishop's shout, his holy book exploded in a radiant burst of light, f a glowing sphere. Simultaneously, the blood-red orb in Ikaros’ haed, violently pulsating as it tried to escape her grip, attempting to flee from the holy light. But just as it began to slip away, Alex extended his hand, using his psionic power to hold the orb in pce.

  The glowing sphere of light struck the red orb directly.

  "Nooooooo!!!"Bel's scream of agony echoed as her body, charging toward them in a fit e, suddenly disied into a pool of blood, exploding on impact.
