Lord of the Time: I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Chapter 96: 96: I didn't choose this path!

"Captain, you're nuts, aren't you? To think you would do such a thing to a kid." Hearing Johan, Dunn stared at their captain in horror. Now, he realized. Their captain was a double-faced bastard!

"You bastard!!" Andre cursed Fushigiro in anger. "You're worse than monsters! How could you do that to our friend!? Now, I know why you proposed to carry Fatty and you refuse to hand him to us!"

Luna and Clifford gritted their teeth and held back Andre from doing something impulsive.

"Very good... very good..." Fushigiro nodded and calmly turned his eyes to Jin and Rina, who had their weapons pointed at him. "Even you guys? After all the years I've guided you? You would disobey me? Very good..."

Tamasai, on the other hand, just kept quiet on the side. Just like a spectator, he didn't meddle in the commotion.

'This guy doesn't plan to interfere with me, it seems. That's good then.' Fushigiro felt a relief. If there's anyone he wasn't confident to face in the group. It would be the inconspicuous bald man. Only he knew how powerful really the guy was.

Jin's face turned serious. Fushigiro's behavior was outside his expectations. After all, in the group, he was supposed to be cold and calculating and Fushigiro always projected himself as someone overprotective and gentle in nature.

Yes, Jin has to admit to himself that he can be cold and ruthless... But that was towards his enemies. He can't say the same to people around him that he knows well. Not to mention the kids that they had protected for years. Sacrifice them? He can't stomach such a thing. Who would have known the kind captain was just a facade all along?

"Are you serious? If you dare to do that, I won't hesitate to fight you."

"Us too..." Rina and Dunn sided with Jin with a determined expression.

The scene touched the hearts of Luna, Andre, and Clifford. They were scared that they would agree to Fushigiro and sacrifice them.

"Fight me with your current state?" Fushigiro gave a disdainful chuckle.

Dunn responded with a dismissive gesture... "Captain...There's no need to do this, right? There's no need to fight amongst ourselves?"

Fushigiro gave a contemptuous snort.

"Since you guys decided to go opposite me. Then you'll replace the kids as the baits! I would be the last one to laugh!"

Fushigiro disappeared in his place and reappeared behind Jin, who had reacted quite well as he managed to dodge Fushigiro's finger gun. However, due to tiredness, his body didn't respond the way he wanted. Fushigiro's attack nearly caught him.

Dunn acrobatically turned around and swung his blade towards Fushigiro. Yet, Fushigiro vanished again, and then Dunn fell to his knees while coughing blood.

"Hahaha! That's what I'm saying. You guys became slower and weaker. I also feel that I'm about to go through the same state as you. I might as well eliminate you before that happens." Fushigiro's voice was filled with indifference while dodging Rina's constant sword attacks.

"We are at a disadvantage," Jin said weakly. They aren't in the optimal state to fight in their condition.

Suddenly, Caleb appeared beside Jin... "Let me take care of this, guys. Unlike you, I'm in my peak state." As he said this, he shifted his attention to Tamasai. "How about you? You won't really do anything."

Tamasai just kept his silence.

'Why isn't he affected?' Caleb thought, doubtful.

"It's your fault why they aren't following me anymore."

Caleb felt a strong killing intent from their captain's voice. "Why me? I don't have anything to do with their decision. It's their choice to stand at the right path."

Fushigiro clenched his fist. A wide grin appeared on his face.

"It's been a while since I've killed a human. You know? You really have a good potential. Being able to learn my Deka Step in a short time frame and forming the foundation of your battle style. Not to mention, you have the temperament of a killer. You're simply natural... Why couldn't it be me!!?"

"You're just jealous..." Caleb didn't know what to say. Talented? Who? He just has a rich foundation because of his constant reincarnation. And he's just basically an adult soul in a child's body which made him have good comprehension.

Hearing Caleb's words made Fushigiro laugh. "Me jealous? They are jealous of me! The audacity to ostracize me because a certain someone was my master? I didn't want to walk this path. They forced it upon me!! HAHAHAHA!"

The crazy laughter sent a shiver down everyone's spine. Rina, Jin, and Dunn have a hard time accepting that the one they thought was their brother and half-teacher in almost everything turned out to be a ruthless madman.

"Ostracized by whom exactly??" Sensing juicy information, Caleb unconsciously asked. He also has to bid his time for something to take effect. The more time they waste, the higher the chances of his winning.

The question made Fushigiro stop laughing and become silent. After a few seconds, he looked at Caleb with a gloomy smile. "Well, all of you would die here, so let me tell you. I originally came from the City of Phenos. However, the ones in the higher-ups kicked me just because they hated my master. Those bastards, they pushed me to walk to the path that I didn't choose and for that, I'm coming back to get them! I don't care anymore. Let this world burn!!"

As he said this, Fushigiro kicked the ground ten times and appeared in front of Caleb in a split second. He threw a punch to Caleb with his fist covered with gentle pressure.

Caleb knew that if the soft fist hit him anywhere, it would be over for him. So as a response, he instinctually boosted his feet with taboo energy and Deka stepped to the side.

"Do you really think you could beat me with the technique I taught to you?"

Fushiguro's voice sounded behind him. Then a sharp object hit him in the shoulders and went through it. He felt an intense prickling pain, then he felt a kick on his ribs throwing him two meters away.

"Johan!!" Luna, Andre, and Clifford called out.

Jin, Rina, and Dun, on the other hand, were lying on the ground. Due to exerting their body, their condition worsened to the point that made them unable to exert any strength.
