Pirates: Starting from the Demon King of Uta - Chapter 550
c550 You are still so boring
Im looked at Link and let out a chuckle of unknown meaning, then waved his giant black claw to slap Link away.
The speed was very fast, and Link raised his knife to resist, but the powerful force still knocked him away from the conference room, crashed through the walls, and finally stopped in a corridor.
Im didn’t pursue it first, but glanced at Uta, and then the black shadow on his body flowed, forming a protective shield around Uta.
Although there would be basically no aftermath of the attack when time was stopped, Im still used Shadow Escape on Uta with ease.
She hadn’t heard the name Baby Fish for a long time, and Link calling her that made Im feel a little nostalgic.
“I don’t know if you’re awake yet, Link.”
With a whisper, Im’s huge figure crashed through the wall, approaching Link at an extremely fast speed, and saw a bright red slash in front of him.
Immediately upon seeing this, Im swung his giant claw at the slash, tearing Link’s Sky Fire into pieces without even using his Haki.
This is the first person to tear apart Heavenly Fire with only his body without using domineering force. His physical strength alone is stronger than anyone Link has ever seen.
The smile on Link’s face became even wider when he saw Skyfire being easily torn apart. He held Chunyu, who hadn’t pulled out for a long time, in his hand and rushed towards the pitch-black monster.
A man and a beast started fighting in this castle.
Im is very strong, and his eyes have always been very dull, but Link has some fun playing.
Since the fruit awakened, he has never had a fierce fight.
In this dark castle, Link was holding two swords, and there were some flames around the two of them. This was caused by the thunder and lightning from Anilu penetrating Pangu City, but at this time, it was frozen there because time stopped.
No longer spreading, no longer burning, just like a picture frozen in the air.
Link slashed Im’s forelimbs hard with both swords, cutting off Im’s left leg.
However, the huge pitch-black claw immediately turned into a puddle of black water, and then flowed back to Im’s body, and the severed left leg instantly grew back.
“It’s okay. It’s pretty strong this time.”
Im said calmly, and then countless shadows attacked Link, overwhelmingly appearing in front of Link’s eyes, like arrows shooting at him rapidly.
Link couldn’t hear what Im said clearly because her voice was low and there was some distance between them.
Quickly waving his two swords, a golden slash appeared, chopping up the shadow arrow used by Im, and then he looked at Im on the opposite side, and only then did he react.
“No, how can you move when time is suspended?”
The reason why Chikiriya can move when time is suspended is because the power of time is wrapped in the slash, so Chikiriya can move in the world where time is suspended.
But why is this baby fish in front of me?
Link couldn’t understand. Even if the giant salamander could move on its own, why could it continue to move even if its ability left its body?
She doesn’t have the power of time either?
Link looked puzzled, and then he carefully looked at Im across from him, and discovered something that he had never noticed before.
“You… are really weird.”
Even if there was no sound from Im’s body, it seemed that the power of time had not acted on her.
Time in the world is suspended, but time automatically bypasses Im, so she can move freely in the world where time is suspended.
But at this time, Im no longer thought of talking to Link. He looked at Link indifferently with his red ring eyes, and once again waved his huge claws to attack him.
Link raised his hand and chopped Im’s beast claws into pieces, and then the overlord’s domineering energy wrapped around the two swords again, leaping high and slashing at Im’s huge beast head.
Since there is no harm in chopping off the hands, just chop off the head.
Link’s idea is very simple. Although he is a little curious about Im’s weirdness, he just needs to defeat her first and then study it slowly.
However, the power of time cannot act on Im, and all Link can use is his own swordsmanship and domineering force. Fortunately, Link is also very good at these two things.
The two continued to fight like this, and for a while it was impossible to tell the winner.
And in a world where time stopped, the two of them had been fighting for who knows how long.
During this period, Ke had cut off Im’s animal head many times, but Im’s body seemed to be made of shadow, and there was no difference between beheading and cutting off the legs.
Even in order to make Link give up, Yim took the initiative to accept Senkirigu’s slashing attack and did not defend himself. As a result, his body was cut into countless thin slices, but it would still reassemble in the next second.
Im seems immortal.
Link scratched his head, feeling a little difficult. This was the first time he encountered such a difficult enemy.
In the past, whether it was lava or ice, as long as he kept fighting, Link would always feel that he could win, but this guy in front of him allowed Link to temporarily find a way to break the situation.
“Then we have to chop it into atoms or molecules? Which of the two is smaller?”
Link temporarily thought of a way, but he didn’t know which of the two units was bigger and which was smaller.
But it wasn’t important anymore. Link felt that he had found a way to defeat the giant salamander. He smiled and raised his two swords, blocking Im’s swing at him.
Using Overlord Color Coil to repel Yim, Link was about to rush forward, but his body suddenly stopped and he turned slightly to look aside.
Im on the opposite side also stopped attacking, his eyes were aligned with Link’s, but there was only a broken wall, and the empty room inside could be vaguely seen.
Someone is watching them.
Link and Im were both aware of this, but when they used their Observation Color to check, there was no one there.
Im’s keen sense told her that nothing was wrong, but there was no one there.
Im had encountered this situation before and immediately understood what was going on.
Link thought for a while and used the power of time to sense before he saw the person staring at them.
It was a black-haired woman wearing a purple hoodie. Link was familiar with this person. He probably had seen it somewhere, but he couldn’t remember it for a while.
The hooded woman watching them was not here, not even at this point in time, but in the past, about a few years ago.
Her vision traveled through time and arrived here, where she saw Link and Im fighting.
Link tilted his head and chuckled, feeling very amused that the hooded woman could see this.
But before he could speak, Link felt something pass through his heart.
Looking down, he recognized that it was the shadow arrow that Im had used before.
Because the heart was penetrated, the strength of the body disappeared quickly, and Link’s consciousness began to blur, and finally fell to the ground with a plop and died.
The last remaining thought in my mind was that the shadow arrow was pretty good-looking.
Without Link’s pause, time continued to flow, but it paused again the next second.
The soul floated out of the body. Link covered his head and said with a smile: “You are so merciless, Im.”
After looking at his body, Link didn’t care. He didn’t immediately use Soul Return Home to resurrect. Instead, he just floated in the air and looked at Im.
The dark beast shape on Im’s body gradually shrank, and finally the body wearing a white dress was revealed.
“You are indeed awake, Link.”
The voice was a little cold, and Link, who was in the soul state across from him, laughed twice more, and said casually: “I haven’t slept all this time, how can I say I’m awake?”
These words were just casual chats between the two of them, and they knew each other’s status best.
“Mom, did you hear that? The gears of fate are turning.”
Link said slowly with a serious face, but Im looked at him as if he was an idiot. Link didn’t hold back and stopped joking.
“Oh, you’re still so boring.”
Ever since I met Im, she seemed to have always been like this, with few mood swings.
Speaking of which, how long have they known each other?
Link wanted to count the time, but found that the scene they saw for the first time was extremely blurry, so blurry that Link couldn’t remember what happened back then.
Im leaned back, and the shadow under his feet immediately transformed and turned into a gorgeous dark throne. Im sitting on the throne and said calmly to Link: “This allows me to stay sane and not become like You’re just as stupid, Link.”
The long time wore them down, Im using Im’s method, Link using Link’s method, and the two used their own methods to maintain their will.
“How long will you continue to be reincarnated? Your soul has become muddier. How many more times can you persist?”
Im would ask this question to Link every time, it was already a routine, but Link’s answer was always the same.
“forever.”
Link would answer like this every time.
After laughing, looking at Im’s dull gaze, Link pointed to his head and smiled again: “I buried an anchor deep in my will, which allows me to persist.”
Link said as he looked down at his soul. It did seem to have faded a bit, but that didn’t matter.
He has restarted the world countless times, and his soul is still bright and tenacious.
As the master of time, Link can endure forever.
Im looked at Link laughing and didn’t interrupt him. It wasn’t until Link’s laughter gradually stopped that he said: “Uta… forget it.”
Being dragged by Link and forced to reincarnate together with Im also spent a long time.
She had wanted to say that Uta would be sad if she knew these things, but she had already said this before. Although she knew the reason why Link kept restarting the world, Im still said it many times.
But it was of no use at all, so she didn’t bother to say anything more.
The two know each other very well, and Link knows what Im wants to say in the second half of the episode.
He laughed twice and began to change the subject: “Last time you came out after I killed all the Five Old Stars. Isn’t it a bit sudden this time?”
In the last reincarnation, Link was surrounded by different partners, and the only constant was Uta.
For some messy reasons, Link went to the Red Earth Continent and killed the Five Old Stars, and then Im appeared.
In comparison, this time it was indeed a bit casual.
