Reborn as a Transcendent

Watching the flaming fist expand in her field of vision, Yaeger's mind was blank. Alicia had a pale complexion. Her pupils shrank as she felt deep terror. As a prodigy in combat, she was clear that Yaeger, who stood in the middle and facing the Commander, couldn't handle this attack. She would die!

At this moment, in this place, nobody could endure this attack. Worse still, Alicia was in deep despair as she couldn't even block the attack for Yeager even if she wanted to. Because after activating the spatial teleportation, she was most affected by the spatial energy and couldn't move!

Before the flaming fist arrived, they could already feel the horrifying earth-shattering energy through the [Cloak of Invisibility]. The Commander had definitely invested all his power in this strike. He wanted to kill everyone within one strike!

‘I'm going to die?' Suddenly, this thought occupied Yeager's mind. In her recollection, death was horrible, ominous, cold, and despairing. It was a feeling that she would never want to recall.

‘How could I die here!'

Inspiration flashed in her mind, Yaeger instantly entered a weird trance. In her perception, everything instantly became very slow. Commander Blei's fist was only 30 centimeters away from Yeager's head. She would be pummeled within a fraction of a second.

However, in this slow-moving world, it seemed that flaming fist would never hit her.

‘What's going on?'

Even Yaeger herself was puzzled by such an ominous scene.

‘I can't move… Time seems to have paused, but is still flowing at extremely slow speeds. Also, I can still think like normal. What's going on here? Has the passage of time slowed down, or am I thinking faster?'

As a reborn individual who had experienced fantastical and otherworldly events in a past life, Yeager's logical reasoning was very different from that of an ordinary person. She could easily accept various magical things happening in her life.

‘Assuming that my thinking has accelerated, then how long can this acceleration last? A few seconds? No, time in reality and time of thought is very different. Maybe not a single second has passed in real life, but many seconds have already passed in my thoughts.'

Yeager once read an article that was probably not backed by scientific data. The main content was that a person's mind would revolve. The faster the revolution, the slower time passed.

When that speed had reached an insane value, time itself would nearly pause.

‘This is exactly what I'm going through now!' Yaeger became a little excited but soon settled down. She was now on the brink of death, and had no idea how long this would last. She had to figure out a solution as soon as possible.

Looking at the flaming fist right in front of her, she became flustered. She couldn't endure this attack. Dodging… It was near impossible to dodge also. She couldn't dodge, and couldn't block. What to do?

‘I'm dead!' Discarding the thought of resigning herself to fate, Yeager instantly cheered herself up.

Although she had no idea what her current condition was, it was obviously helpful. If she didn't take this opportunity to figure it out, she, no, even Alicia and Yunuen would be killed.

‘Do I have anything on me that could turn things around?'

Yaeger immediately thought of the [Chaos Roulette]. This Artifact had unforeseen and crazy effects. But exactly because she couldn't foresee the consequences, she wouldn't stake her life on it.

If the Artifact wasn't activated when she got hit, then she would be as good as dead. Moreover, she didn't dare to test her luck with Alicia's and Yunuen's life on the line. Therefore, the [Chaos Roulette] could only be her last resort. Relying on it to solve her issue was too risky.

‘[Chaos God Ring] can negate all damage by half. But I'll still be killed instantly when facing an opponent of this caliber. And my skills are all offensive… As for my dodge skills, activating them at such a close distance would still end up grievously injuring me, since I'm within range of that attack's shockwave anyway. No, even if I could dodge it, I can't use [Flash]. Unless I want to see Alicia and Yunuen explode.'

Thinking of that, Yaeger suddenly felt mental fatigue. At the same time, the flaming fist in her vision became larger.

‘I'm out of time!'

She was clear that her time in thought was now syncing up with time in real life.

‘I don't know if it'll work, but I have to try!'

Of all the skills she could use, Yaeger only decided on two. No, three. The first was [Go All Out]! This was a skill that could unleash all her strength within an instant. The second was [Sphere]. Yaeger's original defense skill. The third was [Devourer]. A racial skill of the Celestial Race—she could absorb damage twice the amount of her Mana!

‘Risk it all, go big or go home!'

The moment reality caught up to her thoughts, Yaeger used three skills simultaneously. Firstly, she released all energy. Then, she manifested all of it into a [Sphere]. Finally, she applied the effect of [Devourer] into [Sphere].

Bang!

As time synchronized, the flaming fist arrived! Yet, Yaeger's skill was combined successfully at this very moment. With a push of her hand, a semi-transparent black barrier appeared in front of the flaming fist.

The Commander was taken aback by the sudden appearance of this barrier, but wasn't bothered. His flaming fist was domineering and unstoppable! Alicia and Yunuen were stunned at the same time. In their eyes, Yeager's barrier appeared too quickly, as if it needed no time to manifest at all.

Bang!

The Commander's flaming fist slammed into the black barrier. The next moment.

Crack!

The barrier shattered! The flaming fist pierced through! Yaeger's greatest defense only blocked his attack for half a second! What a massive gap in power!

Just as Commander Blei's lethal strike was about to smash Yeager's head. An unexpected change occurred. The silver sphere in Alicia's hand suddenly expanded, and a force stronger than the previous spatial energy exploded.

"Don't think about running!" Fueling such intense spatial fluctuation, Blei clearly knew that the spatial teleportation was starting. He instantly invested all his force and turned himself into a flaming torch.

The next moment, a massive pillar of flame rose into the air! For a while, the entire sky seemed to be burning. It was ominously red.

Scalding heat scorched the area, and the powerful impact force tumbled the soldiers around them. Only a small number of black-armored soldiers could defend against it and not roll around unceremoniously.

All the adventurers and players in the square were stunned as they witnessed the sudden change. From their point of view, the Commander suddenly went berserk and attacked empty air. As if he was intimidating the crowd.

In truth, these people were actually frightened. If they faced this attack with their current strength, they would be instantly rendered into ashes and be as good as dead.

After a few seconds, the pillar of flame subsided and the shockwaves settled down. The Commander stood in place with his fists out. Like a statue of red and black that seemed majestic.

However, unlike his appearance on the surface, Blei was actually panicking under his plate armor!

‘Oh no, I messed up!'
