Chapter 106: The ultimate skill of the Icy Curse
And they were words that angered many.
"You bastard, do you think we're useless?!! Let's see if it's true!" shouted several of them, including the man with over 10,000 power to one side of Philip.
He was even going to move, but Philip Baker raised his hand to stop them.
"Hahaha, your personality is interesting, Matthew Dietrich. One moment, you can be so quiet that anyone will forget your existence, but another moment, you can say such things..." He said, laughing out loud.
However, he stopped laughing suddenly and looked at him as he stepped forward.
"Well, if that is your wish, I will fulfill it. Just know that to the end, my proposal stands." He spoke.
Matt shrugged, "Save your proposal for some idiot." He replied, and Philip smiled.
"Well, I just hope you can at least hold on and not die in one blow." He said mockingly, and his terrible power was unleashed with a blast.
Everyone was in shock, even Matt.
The power he was giving off from this guy's body was extremely terrifying. It was a power that gave him, once again, the feeling of being a small creature at the bottom of the pit.
Once again, a power as terrifying as frightening had made its presence known in front of Matt, but this time, the feeling was even more horrifying than the one Alice had given him.
The power this time was more terrifying and intimidating than on that occasion, even so...
Matt did not fall into a trance-like state this time, perhaps because his heart and determination had grown stronger.
He simply appeared calm and took a step back as he braced himself.
He clasped one of his hands behind his body and waited patiently for the moment while an icy coldness was unleashed in his body that went unnoticed.
No one noticed this strange coldness that was spreading all over the floor and all over the place in general. The icy coldness soon covered the entire area where these guys were, including those on top of the houses.
Still, no one noticed anything strange.
Suddenly, Philip Baker grinned sinisterly and darted like a flash towards where Matt was at an almost impossible speed.
Still, for Matt, this moment passed as if in slow motion, as his thoughts were filled with myriad thoughts.
'... The time, an enigma that defines and deteriorates us; today, we are born, and tomorrow, we die. No one can go against the Laws of Time, for that would mean to be above the Universe itself, which is also determined by the laws of time.'
'Eventually, everything will die. A living being or a planet will meet the same fate; it is only a question of Time.'
'Is it possible to stop time? I keep asking myself the same question...' Matt thought and smiled slightly at that moment.
'So far, I haven't met anyone capable of stopping time. I haven't met anyone capable of fighting it. But I don't need to fight it; I just need to...' He thought and, at a breakneck speed, punched to where Philip Baker was coming from.
'Freeze it. That's all I need. The ultimate skill...' He thought and opened his mouth.
"Frozen Time." He said softly...
*Swoosh*
Suddenly, the sound of an icy wind reached everywhere, and every ear present heard it. In one moment, everything around them froze.
Philip Baker was frozen by a strange, light, icy breeze, in a position of shock less than 1 meter away from Matt.
In that same instant, Matt disappeared along with Isla's body...
Leaving the place in a deadly silence that only lasted milliseconds until a thunderous explosion sounded as Philip and the rest were able to come back to reality, and Philip crashed hard into where Matt had been a moment ago.
Even so, he failed to land a hit.
That left him in shock.
"Where is he!? And what the hell was that icy thing just now!?" he asked in shock, looking around.
For some reason, he felt something icy hitting his body, and the next time he felt something, he hit the ground without Matt's presence.
That made him angry, but looking from side to side, not only was Matt gone.
That woman's corpse wasn't there either!
Even more amazingly, he couldn't feel the presence of that little inscription he had put on Matt, 'What the hell just happened?' He thought to himself in shock.
"Shit, search the whole city for that bastard; there's no way he can escape with that much information!" he shouted angrily as he started jumping towards another section of the city to look for him.
Not even 5 seconds had passed since he disappeared into the distance when all the assassins were about to start moving, but many powers came from side to side, surrounding them.
At the same time, a beautiful woman, Alice Allen, stepped forward.
She glared at them and drew her sword, jumping up to stand before the most powerful one.
"I am Alice Allen. You are all under investigation by Clan Allen. So, you better answer our questions. Where is Matthew Dietrich!?" She asked with great anger and a growing rage she couldn't control.
If it hadn't been for her family going to warn her, she wouldn't have noticed either. Still, when she went back in search of Matt, he was gone. Even Isla had been kidnapped, and then she realized that all the hotel staff were also traitors.
Still, while her family was taking action against the hotel, she learned something. Some assassins had been spotted in a section of the city, and Matt's trail was also there, so she ran here.
But, for her to arrive and find nothing made her fury burst out again with force.
The man in front of her felt fear momentarily but still jumped back as he drew two daggers in the air.
"Matthew Dietrich has fallen into our hands; what are you going to do then, Heiress!?" he shouted with a sinister smile.
Alice frowned when she heard this, and her eyes flashed with intensity.
Then, she leaped forward with a swift movement, arriving in front of this guy to plunge the sword into his neck.
"Change of plans. You are not under investigation; I sentence you to death." She said with terrifying coldness and pulled out her blood-stained sword from this guy's neck. The blood even got on her clothes, but she didn't care.
