Chapter 273: Raid dungeon (65)
The mummy leader slowly looked down at its arms where my sword had made contact.
It slowly moved its arm up and down, as if it was trying to see if there was anything wrong with them.
As it moved its arms up and down, it couldn't help slightly knitting its brows as if there was indeed something wrong. But when it looked at its arms closely, it didn't seem like there was anything wrong based on the look in its eyes.
It was a very strange feeling for the mummy leader since it didn't know what this feeling was.
After a while, the mummy leader finally seemed to notice something.
It started moving the layer of dark energy around it, as if it was trying to do something with that layer of dark energy.
Then it turned back to look at me and asked, "How?"
Once again, I didn't say a single thing as I just stared at it and waited for it to move.
The mummy leader's expression turned strange as it looked at me, almost as if it didn't know what to make of me.
But it became impatient in the end and couldn't wait any longer.
So the mummy leader suddenly jumped out at me, but it didn't do the same thing as before.
Instead of jumping right at me with the two balls of dark energy in its hands, it landed in the middle and then jumped out at an angle. It flew forward, but it wasn't aimed at me this time.
The mummy leader didn't seem to be aimed at anyone as it jumped out.
But it also didn't seem like it was running away since its eyes were on me the entire time.
It seemed like it was trying something desperate.
After moving past me, it suddenly bounced off one of the pillars in this room and went in a different direction.
It whizzed past me again and bounced off the floor before jumping into another pillar on the other side.
As it bounced around like this, the mummy leader started moving faster and faster.
I didn't understand what it was doing at first, but then I realized that it was planning on using its speed to make me lose track of it so that it could attack from a blind spot.
It was just too bad that this was impossible since I still had another trump card up my sleeve.
But before I had to use it, I wanted to see if I could do something about this mummy leader without it.
After bouncing around a few times, it became so fast that it was actually hard for my eyes to keep up.
Then with one more bounce, it suddenly disappeared from sight.
The only reason that I even knew where it was coming from was because it suddenly shouted, "Die!"
I quickly turned around, but I just saw the orb of dark energy in front of my face.
But before it could hit me, it suddenly stopped.
It seemed that I really didn't have a choice, I had to use my trump card in the end.
All of a sudden, time stopped all around me.
I moved out of the way and saw the mummy leader just frozen there in space.
I had been afraid that the mummy leader would be able to detect something or even have something that could stop this ability since it was related to the demon king. However, seeing it frozen in the air like this, it seemed that I had been worried for nothing.
It seemed that even if it had received this dark energy, it still wasn't able to negate the power of a true demon king.
I moved out of the way before raising my sword.
There was a limit to this Time Stop, so it wasn't as if I could waste time.

I didn't even know how long it would take for me to actually hurt this mummy leader, so I couldn't waste time even if I wanted to.
The first thing that I aimed for after raising my sword was its arm.
I had already cut through the dark energy around its arm before, so I knew that it was possible for me to hurt it this way.
When my sword made contact with the dark energy, it drained it away just like before.
But the dark energy around it quickly surged forward to take its place.
Even though time was frozen, it seemed that this dark energy could still act.
Unless I was fast enough or unless I was strong enough, I wouldn't be able to break through the dark energy barrier of this mummy leader.
But there was something that I was.
Persistent.
Since I was able to drain the dark energy, that meant that there was a way, though it would take a while.
I continued to cut the arm of the mummy leader again and again, draining more and more of the dark energy from around the area.
This caused the dark energy layer around the mummy leader to become thinner.
It didn't happen right away, but it happened after a few dozen cuts.
Then after a few hundred cuts, it finally became thin enough for me to cut through the mummy leader's arm.
But I didn't stop there.
There were many different places that I could cut, so I didn't hesitate to keep cutting the mummy leader and draining it of its dark energy.
Again and again, I cut the mummy leader until it was completely covered in cuts and its dark energy layer was paper thin.
In total, this took an hour…
If it hadn't been for the extra time that came with leveling up the Time Stop skill, I really wouldn't have been able to do this.
After catching my breath from all of that cutting, I went back to where I was before. However, I deviated slightly from my original position so that the mummy leader would go right past me instead of hitting me.
Then I started time again.
