Chapter 1515 Time-Related Relic
Date- 13 April 2321
Time- 9:50
Location- Southern Region, Southern Capital
Henricks did care if the Southern Royal family"s forces would realize the Mohawk devil was using the time rule or not, however, if he wanted to kidnap Dalton Wyatt then his strongest contender was the Mohawk devil. Time rule trick to deal with even for him, so he had to get rid of it fast either by using the forces of the southern royal family or understanding the trick to its fast adaptation to time rule in the card world.
Henricks had strong reason to believe that the mohawk devil was able to adjust to the time of the card world because of the huge wooden hourgla.s.s the mohawk devil had strapped on its back. And its slow stride also had something to do with the hourgla.s.s.
After observing the mohawk devil for a while, Henrciks noticed that the slower the mohawk devil walked the faster the sand fell from the upper section to the lower section. However, whenever it used the time rule, a certain quant.i.ty of sand from the lower section of the hourgla.s.s would magically return to the upper section. And when it stood still the sand would stay still.
Though Henricks has not exactly figured out what the hourgla.s.s on the back of the mohawk devil did, he had come to an a.s.sumption through observation the following,
> The sand in the upper section of the hourgla.s.s represents the time of the dark realm.
> The sand in the lower section represents the time of the card realm.
> The motion of the sand from the upper section to the lower section represented, the devil"s time rule mastery adjusting to the time of the card world.
> The time taken for the devil"s time rule mastery to adjust with the time of the card world appeared to depend on its movement.
> The slower it moved the faster the adjustment progressed and the faster it moved the slower the adjustment progressed. However, if it were to stay still its adjustment would also come to a halt until it starts to move again.
> The devil could use the time rule while its time rule mastery adjusts to the card world"s time but it would face a penalty for doing so.
> The penalty was that the progress of the devil"s time rule mastery adjustment to the card world"s time would regress depending on how long the devil used the time rule during adjustment. I think you should take a look at
Having made these a.s.sumptions Henricks wondered why the devil did not bid its time to completely adjust its time rule using the hourgla.s.s and instead chose to announce a wan on the entire southern capital declaring Dalton Wyatt as its target.
Unless there were other conditions and prohibitions of the hourgla.s.s that the devil needs to adhere to. Either way, it was dominating the battlefield and it appears if no other unexpected variables pop up then the mohawk devil would be able to achieve its goal.
Henricks was able to deduce the mohawk devil with a single glance however he could not understand what Dalton Wyatt was up to standing in the center of the battlefield. Henricks knew Wyatt was ignorant enough to believe the Southern royal family"s forces would be able to protect him.
So Henricks could not help but wonder what it was that gave Wyatt, a card master, confidence to stand amidst the battlefield of devils and demiG.o.ds and smile with a look of excitement in his eyes.
Right now Wyatt did not have any bearing of a genius scholar like Luna and the rest of VR-Universe fanatics described him. Instead, he looked more like a battle-crazed madman who loved to get high on adrenaline.
The Henricks had successfully schemed and killed one of the masters of the organization running the puppet central government without anyone suspecting him of it. Was able to climb the ranks of that very organization while starting a rebel army against the organization from within it. And could deduce the trick of the mohawk devil after a few minutes of observation but was unable to understand the game plan of a card master realm teenage card apprentice, Dalton Wyatt.
Yes, Henricks believed that Wyatt had a game plan here. Someone capable enough to climb from the ident.i.ty of an unknown orphan in a third-rate city in the backwaters of the southern region to a VVIP of the southern royal family living in the royal guest palace number one would not risk their life without a game plan. Henricks wrecked his brain but he could not deduce Wyatt"s game plan.
Henricks soon stopped figuring out Wyatt and continued to further deduce the strength of the mohawk devil and hourgla.s.s on its back. Knowing that he would have to fight against it if he planned to kidnap Wyatt in its presence.
"Wyatt, let"s go," Ann and Jill stressed simultaneously.
Seeing that the Mohawk devil effortlessly dodged the thousands of energy projectiles they understood that the Mohawk devil was on another level compared to all other devils and demiG.o.ds present in the Southern Capital. Meaning they were not a match for the Mohawk devil.
In the face of such a strong enemy, the only option that came to their mind to protect Wyatt was to retreat to the Southern Royal palace grounds as fast as possible. Unfortunately, Wyatt did not follow their arrangement and patiently waited for the devil"s arrival with excitement in his eyes.
"Your Highness, permission to use against Dalton Wyatt," seeing that the Southern emperor was not able to get Wyatt to cooperate and the devil closer to them with every pa.s.sing second, the leader of team one asked Ann permission to use force to take Wyatt back into the Southern royal palace grounds.
"You dumba.s.s, if we retreat to the royal palace grounds then we will be risking the life of everyone within the royal palace grounds. Do you see the hourgla.s.s on the back of the devil? It is a relic with time-related abilities." Wyatt blatantly scolded the demiG.o.d for not figuring out that the mohawk devil was using time rule.
