Lord of the Time: I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Chapter 157: 157: 2 Mos

In the blink of an eye, two months went by. For Caleb and everyone, time really flies. Shu's identity was the traitor, the culprit in the incident caused a storm to the camp. Who was Shu? He was one of the recognized geniuses in this batch of Scout, and many of his peers idolized him due to his calm and cool personality.

It was just a saddening revelation for them and the team seven who spent living together under one roof. Rozho and Kidd even bowed to convince Shu to walk on the right path. They intend to correct his ways themselves.

Such a naïve thinking, Caleb doesn't believe that it was easy to convince Shu. Shu was a fairly intelligent and logical guy. There's no doubt that the other party knew very well what he was doing. What's more, there was more to it than the surface. Nonetheless, Caleb didn't intend to meddle. It has nothing to do with him. For him, the most important thing was to improve his strength. That's all that matters for now. Only with strength, 90% of the problem could be solved. If you can't solve it... Well, you're not just strong enough. If you can't solve it with violence, then you're just not violent enough!

In those two months, the scouts, various kinds of tier 9 Apokalips, attacked the camp. However, Roger took care of most of them since they couldn't afford to lose other members accidentally. After all, they would need a lot of fighting power in the subsequent operation. Of course, some teams still inevitably participated and defended the camp for contribution points!

Roger also decided to reorganize the team since a lot of members died. From nine teams, there are only five teams now! Clifford, Andre, and Luna were still on team one. While Caleb, Kazuto, Kidd, and Rozho, from team 7, became team five. And there's also a new member since they were only four. It is Rekka! A character that belongs to Caleb's zero list!

Caleb was glad that such a member with immense potential was added to his team. The stronger his members were, the better it was for him. It would increase the chances of their survival and their overall performance!

Within two months, Caleb didn't forget his training. He even upped the intensity to the point that he can now perform 16 steps in just one second! His Deka Step was now almost similar to instantaneous short-distance teleportation.

As for his swordsmanship... Well, it was stuck and unable to improve. After all, all he did was swing his sword mindlessly 2000x a day. Though it helped him to have a solid foundation. His mastery of the fundamentals was near perfect. Isn't the foundation of hundreds of thousands of sword moves at the end derived from a swing or slash? Fortunately, Rozho agreed to introduce him to his master once the operation ended.

It was an opportunity! He knew that he needed to learn from other swordsmen if he wanted to improve further on the Dao of sword!

In those two months, he had lots of thoughts and reflections. He wondered about Fatty's state if he was already awake or not. How Jin, Rina, and Dunn were faring? Then there was also Shu... Where is he hiding? The bastard didn't show his presence or attack them. It was as if he simply vanished.

The happiest thing was the rate of his progress in taboo energy though. He was now one step closer to the grade 3 realm!

Yes... He was only a thousand units away from becoming a grade taboo fighter! At that time, he would gain another ability related to his energy or gum gum rubber substance that would help him in his future battles. Though he wasn't sure what related ability he would get. Having another ability in his arsenal would make him more flexible in situations.

Furthermore, it would pave the way for a smooth ascension once he consumes a tier 8 pill of the Shadow Path. Even now, he could still feel a shiver down his spine every time he remembered the crazy murmurings that he had experienced. It was nothing short of unpleasant. It was damn hell!

Once he had become a grade 3 taboo fighter. The increase of his spirit attributes would provide him with greater defense or resistance to the murmurings that specifically target the mind.

In those two months, Caleb also became familiar with the new member of his team... Rekka! A rational individual that has the most pessimistic personality that he has ever met! Your journey continues on M V L

...

"It was time to continue the operation after the long wait..." Roger looked at every young face that had matured. From baby fat, there were now tan lines and definitions. "I know... We did nothing in two months but wait. But now, the time has come. As always, Johan will lead the team five to seal the hole in the wall..."

"What about us, Captain?" Zulang, who was appointed as the leader of team two, raised his hand and gave Roger a questioning look.

The others also looked at Roger in trepidation. They don't know what role they would get. But almost all of them want to get a role that will enable them to directly confront Apokalips.

Zulang stepped forward. "You will be responsible for the safety of the team five. Once the sealing process started. You will help them to fend off against Apokalips that would try to interrupt the process. Lastly, don't forget that Shu was still out there. He might be waiting for an opportunity to mess us up."

"Tomorrow. We will inevitably encounter that bastard again." Andre sighed.
