Chapter 233: 233 Limits Of The Shattered Truth



Kairos' eyes widened to their limits as he looked behind himself in his future vision. He paid attention to Sara's position, where the ball and chain were coming from, and also the other weapons that Sara needed to dodge.

He committed them all to memory in two seconds.

And in the last second, he looked back in front of himself to see what he had to dodge.

When it came time to act, he let out a shout while holding up the spear with all his strength. Sara's platform raised considerably, which made her panic a tad bit. But it wasn't a fruitless effort, as the ball and chain gilded underneath, becoming harmless for her.

At the same time, Kairos jumped up, letting the one going for him go past.

But unfortunately, it wasn't perfect. While trying to recover herself, a knife slammed into Sara's shoulder, while an arrow hit Kairos' leg as he was getting his footing back after landing. Without a second thought, Kairos pulled out the arrow. However, Sara didn't see an opportunity, so she just left it in to focus on dodging.

Although Sara wished to applaud Kairos for his impressive efforts, even speaking right now would derail her focus too much. As such, she decided to save it for after.

But while Sara was impressed, Kairos felt like he was approaching his limit. Just a few seconds later, he once again had several close calls. He was no longer dodging as perfectly as before, and that showed in the various cuts on the sides of his body and arms.

Not to mention, he was starting to get a headache. Still, he continued on, missing failure by a hair.

Somehow or another, they held on for another minute.

Though Sara wasn't doing much better. Although she was dodging the grand majority, if Kairos didn't occasionally help, then she would've long fallen off by now.

At this point, it wasn't really just their own skill that they depended on, but also their luck. If their luck was just a tad bit worse, with an arrow or knife positioned slightly differently, then it would've all been over.

But despite the fact they were 'lucky' Kairos couldn't help but complain in the back of his mind. This test was far too ruthless already. The fact that you even had to jump up from an already unstable platform and land back down was ridiculous.

It was like a test that wasn't even meant to be beaten in the first place.

Though they had somehow held on until now, Kairos suddenly saw things get even worse. Like a sick joke, all of the weapons suddenly changed speeds. Not to mention, he saw two different arrows with slightly different velocities.

Kairos felt his already pretty bad headache get even worse.

Within a split second, he weighed how badly he actually wanted to beat this test. It was his first time, so there shouldn't have been that big of a deal. But at the same time, he recalled that this first time had already gone pretty well.

There was no guarantee that the next time would be any better, or any attempts after that.

With that in mind, Kairos decided that he would go all out, and consider this his best try, to see if he should even attempt it a second time.

Despite having a splitting headache already, Kairos extended his future vision to its very limits, 5 seconds. The regret came almost instantly, as a headache of the likes he had never experienced before assaulted him.

His head had already been warm before, but all of a sudden, it got so hot it was as though it was literally on fire. If the top of his head was used as a stove, the person using it would probably complain that the heat was too much.

Though he couldn't really process the fact, as the sensation of pain he felt was akin to a hatchet splitting his head open. Despite the fact his willpower was raised to a 30.0, it felt more like he had no willpower at all.

If it wasn't for the fact that he trained himself to get used to pain for most of his life like a crazy person, then he would've long passed out.

But despite this incredible pain, he still maintained it. Though while he was blanked out from the pain, several arrows, knives, and even swords had embedded themselves into various parts of his body.

Soon enough, a ball and chain came flying to him to seal the deal.

But before it hit him, he lifted up one leg, letting it pass by before setting it down. And then, he lifted up the other in one smooth motion.

By now, all of the pain had accumulated to a strange numb feeling in his head. Although it still hurt like hell, a portion of it was numb, just enough to keep Kairos from blacking out.

And he kept it that way, not so much because he wanted to beat the test anymore, but rather because of his fascination with what was happening. Once his future vision was extended to its limits, everything fundamentally changed.

His vision suddenly turned panoramic. In other words, he now saw things in a 360 degree view. But that wasn't even the craziest thing for him. What he found several times more fascinating was his vision which turned completely black.

All the objects now only had white outlines around them. The detail was kept while making things as simple as possible. In fact, he even saw himself as a white outline. Before, he was using proprioception, which was the sense that allowed humans to know where their limbs were without seeing them.

But now, he had no use for it, as he could visually see his entire body in a completely different way.

His thoughts gradually blurred into nothing. The amount of information he had to process just to keep this activated made it too difficult to have conscious thoughts.

However, the originally incredibly difficult to dodge projectiles suddenly became incredibly easy. Even if he did not see things five seconds in the future, he would've still been able to dodge on his own.

Though it wasn't like he didn't need it at all. Sara was trying her absolute best, but it was simply far too difficult. In just ten seconds, she made countless mistakes and only remained standing because of how Kairos manipulated the platform.

Sara dodged things she didn't even know were there and was also forced to dodge them even if she didn't want to.

Still, even in this state, Kairos would be helpless if Sara wasn't trying her best. It wasn't like he could force her to remain on the platform.

Regardless, they were still enduring the ridiculous test.

Kairos looked quite calm, though Sara was panicking heavily at every second. She couldn't understand how it was possible for him to even hold his own. But Kairos was going a step further to even pilot her.

Although filled with astonishment, Sara still tried her very best, as she saw a chance of actually beating this test and wanted very badly to cling to it.

Thirty seconds went by, and while Sara still felt like she was going to fall at any moment, she was holding on just the same. As for Kairos, the numbness had somehow spread through his entire head and even reached partway down to his neck.

While he didn't understand how this was possible, he also couldn't recognize the fact that it was a strange thing, since he couldn't think consciously in the first place.

The only thing he knew to do was to dodge the weapons and help Sara to do the same.

And once an entire minute had passed, all of the weapons suddenly stopped firing. Along with that, the floor had returned as well.

They had actually passed the test that was essentially impossible.

Sara was saying something. Although Kairos knew that she was indicating her surprise from how she was moving her body, he couldn't actually comprehend the words coming out of her mouth.

But while he technically no longer needed to continue using his future vision he did. Instinctually, he understood that if he stopped channeling it, then he would instantly blackout.

Similar in nature to how stopping drug consumption completely was actually very dangerous to someone that was chronically addicted.

Although he didn't actually think anything, he reached into his pocket, took a handful of green orbs, and swallowed them all directly. After that, he finally pulled back his future vision and passed out instantly.

While he was now incredibly vulnerable, to the point that it was laughably easy for Sara to kill him. Though it was too late now to take back any of his actions.

Kairos' consciousness flickered, occasionally appearing as a vague buzzing feeling before disappearing entirely.

If he could actually think, then Kairos would've believed that he was in a coma.

As his consciousness continued to flicker, he finally started to feel himself start to wake, albeit painfully.

...But he was in his room, strangely enough.
