A second passes and…

-BOOM!!!!

It jumped at me at a rapid speed, hitting me with its head as I got pushed to the very edge of the basement from one end to another. As I was flying back, I hurriedly set a return point randomly in my trajectory.

[HP: 3500/6000]

'How long till I get attacked again?' I questioned as I coughed a bit of blood.

"Cough Cough…. Blehrr!!..." I coughed as it was difficult to concentrate on something else at all. My eyes opened up wide as I observed the ground beneath me, falling on the ground on my all fours, trying not to fall completely.

[8 Seconds]

I got time to breathe as I kept myself calm before looking at my front. Though, even when I tried my best to keep calm, blood rushed through my veins rapidly and I felt like my blood vessels might burst out at any moment.

My eyes then traced down the floor as I looked at the front. It was coming towards me slowly and slowly, as if a predator was walking towards its prey.

Sticking its tongue out, it seemed as if it can't wait to taste my blood and gulp down my flesh. Goosebumps creeped out of my skin as I saw it walking one step at a time before it started running at a rapid speed towards me.

The fact that I was using one [Temporal Declaration] over another wasn't helping. That thing was still as fast as a dog.

[3 seconds]

Time kept ticking, and I kept looking in front, concentrating on that thing coming at me.

[2 seconds]

Its speed increased much faster than before as it progressed towards me

[1 seconds]

The distance decreased to less than 10 meters and it jumped at me with all its strength.

And when the distance was about 2 meters apart…

[Return!]

-BOOM!!!

I used my skill to return a few meters ahead of me where I had saved the return point when I was pushed here.

Slightly peeking back, I looked at that thing hitting the wall, creating a large hole in it. Blood flowed out of my head and shoulders, as well as my arm and hand.

'Hurts like hell,' I bit my lips a little as I concentrated on that thing trying to search around. Trying to find where I go.

'Now… How do we proceed from here?' I questioned as I looked at that thing. I knew it couldn't see me…? 'Huh?!' My eyes opened wide as I looked at slowly turning in my direction.

'Can he sense me in some way?!' My eyes opened up wide as I kept looking at it. He was simply facing my direction and then… I felt like it was smiling.

'Run!' was the first thought I had in my mind…

[Eyes of the Time Keeper(foresight)]

I saw it jumping at me from the front… it was fast, but… it wasn't impossible to hit it.

Using my foresight, I saw that it was going to attack me from my front by jumping at me again. So I readied myself, took my stance and waited for the 3 seconds to pass…

[3 second]

[2 second]

[1 second]

Once again, it jumped at me, using all its strength. Its claws were facing towards me and with his mouth open up wide, it was as if it was going to bite me to shreds this time.

'Astalavista Sucker!' I spoke in my mind as I swung my bat, taking it out from my [Time storage].

Though…

Just before it was about to make an impact…. That thing swung its tongue like a chameleon and stuck it around to a nearby pillar before propelling himself towards it.

-swish!

I missed it.

My eyes turned open wide as I looked at that thing crawling on the pillar before moving towards the ceiling as if preparing himself to attack me again. Though this time…

-Whoosh!

It jumped away from and started circling around the parking area at a rapid speed.

'It's accelerating…' I breathed calmly as I tried to trace its path, but when my eyes failed to find it and my body refused to turn around as rapidly, I solely focused on my skill to see when it would attack me.

[7 seconds]

That was the time in which I will be attacked.

[6 seconds]

[5 seconds]

[4 seconds]

[3 seconds]

[Eyes of the Time Keeper(foresight)]

Looking at the future,

That thing attacked me from above as rapidly as it could and then I decided to attack it properly however…

The future showed me something else…

It used its tongue again, jumped at the nearest pillar in front of me and attacked me again within the same second.

[2 second]

'I can still make it,' I thought as I prepared my body to attack twice in a row… and the future changed again a little…

I saw myself successfully making the two attacks in the future… but that guy dodged again using its tongue and jumped to the side before creating a distance between me and it.

[1 second]

My mind couldn't think of a third move at that moment, so I simply waited for it to come at me and immediately swung my bat above me to see where it was coming from.

Then I saw it jumping to the nearest pillar and jumping back at me from there at the same speed as before.

Pushing my body above its limits, I attacked in the same direction where it was coming from. And just like I saw it in the future, it used its tongue to jump to the side and create a distance between us.

'How long will it take for him to attack me?' tired and exhausted, I asked again.

[15 seconds]

'...' I looked at the timer with tired eyes and breathed in relief before I looked at that guy

-SCREECH!!!!!

It was screeching at me loudly before it turned silent and I just kept observing him… him and also the timer.

[10 seconds]

With each second passing, I felt my chest getting heavier and heavier. It was difficult to breathe and so I was concentrating on that thing. Still… I had to do it…

'I need to kill it,' was the thought that consumed me

'Caroline and the others won't survive even a second.' I knew it.

'If I didn't kill it, we will all die.' I understood the consequence of letting it go alive

'Glad that I attacked it before it turned into a normal C-Grade,' I couldn't be more glad about this decision.

'But I can't hit it…' I thought as I looked at it. Every time I try to make a contact this f*cker just escapes.

[4 seconds]

I prepared myself to fight again as I moved forward after saving a [Return!] point to where I was.

[8 seconds]

The timer increased as I kept moving forward. Perhaps, me walking suddenly confused it a little, and it decided to observe me.

However, I just stopped after walking two steps.

[16 Seconds]

Confused, it looked at me as he slowed down on the ceiling in front of me.

And with eyes filled with glare and anxiety, I looked at it, waiting for the time to go down again. Time passed slowly, and both he and I waited for the next few seconds.

[5 Seconds]

Time ticked down to its last 5 seconds.

However, this time I didn't use my foresight immediately.

[Time points: 500]

I was waiting for my Time points to recharge slowly.

[2 seconds]

[Time points: 530]

[Eyes of the Time Keeper(foresight)]

First, I used foresight… saw him attacking me from the front left this time.

Then…

[Eyes of the Time Keeper

'Show me… the timeline where I killed that bastard,' I ordered with a focused face as I kept observing the future.

Then…

100s of timelines brushed past me in one second… showing me all the ways I could kill it. And I… choosing the easiest one, I smiled as I waited for that guy to jump at me.

And so it did…

I didn't even look at it this time. I expected it to make the same face. The same wide opened mouth of his trying to get at me… the same tongue that he would have used to escape me again…

Exactly moments before he reached me…

[Return!]

I used to return a few steps back to where I was a few seconds ago.

I saw its ugly head in front of me… his tongue trying to spread towards the nearest pillar again as it sensed something was wrong… however, by the time it figured it out…

-BOOOM!!!!!!

Swinging my bat from above downwards, I hit its head as hard as I could.

It still didn't die.

"You f*cking cockroach!" I shouted as I hit it again as hard as I could. It was just about to escape again… but no f*cking way I will let it… now f*cking way… I will let this chance go…

-BOOOM!!!

[Ding!]

[You have killed a C-Grade Zombie(Licker)]

[+2000 Exp]

I looked at that notification with a satisfied look before…

'Huh?'

I saw the world spinning around…

"Wha.. is… goig.. On?" confused I fell to the ground…

-Thud!

Before I lost my consciousness…
