Physics The Greatest Magic

Chapter 198 - Sacred Treasure Art: Revert (Time)

A Magic circle was formed under his legs as he continued to gather air there. Surprised, John unleashed the air and propelling him straight forward 

He began to move the broken half of the tower back as the air continued to unleash itself at rapid rates. 

"Argh... Work... Damn IT!" He shouted as he poured all of his power into pushing it back. 

His aim was to push it straight into the ocean or at least get it to balance off to the other side, but he just didn't have enough power. 

The tower long tower had stopped descending, but the tip of it was starting to slowly tilt downwards as there was nothing up there to stop it. 

If it continued to tilt downwards, then the edge would just end up crashing straight into the city . 

Seeing this, John began to wonder what he should do, he couldn't cover two parts at once. Now he had regretted his decision of not going to the middle. 

"Damn it... Their wind pressure is just about to run out... Damn it... Think!" He shouted at himself 

He wracked his brain, while feeling the weight on his shoulders increase with each second that passed. 

"If only... If only I had more time..." John muttered 

In that moment, he felt it. The weight of the tower was decreasing, and most importantly, his speed was increasing. 

However, he shortly realised after looking around that it wasn't only his speed, but the whole world around him, had slowed down. 

The seagulls which were flying at the beach were now moving at half their normal speed. 

As he turned back and looked down to check Serena and Ariel's movements were also significantly slower, but only to around half of their normal speed. 

They were gathering wind and charging up their spell. 

It was as if he was watching a video in 0.5x speed, John couldn't believe his eyes. It was sort of like enhancing his senses with magic, but things were much slower and he himself didn't slow down. 

"This... is amazing..." He muttered 

The feeling of the wind on his body had also slowed down, and he felt unnaturally calm. Everything slowing down felt as if it was natural for him. 

"I see..." He muttered as he stretched his arm back 

In that instant, he said the words 

"Sacred Treasure Art..." 

A magic circle appeared slightly in front of his arm, rather than looking like the normal magic circle which was two triangles on top of one another with runes around it, this magic circle was like a clock. 

*Tick* *Tock* 

The sound of a clock could be heard as John moved back and moved his hand forward 

"Revertatur" Translation: Revert 

In that instant, the collapsed tower, began to move back. There was no force pushing at it back, and yet it was moving backwards to its spot, as if it were being replayed. 

The long-collapsed tower, slowly moved away from him and began heading back to its original spot, along with some of the fallen rubble. 

John watched this as if he had already expected it to happen, or rather, it felt like it wasn't his first time doing it, it felt as if he had done it before and could do it again. 

For a moment, the tower began returning to it's spot. 

*Tick* 

Suddenly, it stopped dead in its tracks. The effect of the art ran out. The tower was too big. On top of that time had reverted back to it's normal speed a while ago. 

"But this is fine... It's nearly vertical now..." Said John as he propelled himself to the middle 

The tower which was on a near-horizontal position had now returned back to a near-vertical position, John had now had an opportunity to strike. 

Once again, he gathered a lump of wind on his legs before using it to propel himself forward, on top of that, he began mixing hydrogen particles into some of the air gathered 

[Ignis] 

*Boom* 

An explosion was let off under his legs giving him an extra boost forward, the now lighter tower was moved a tiny bit back thanks to it. 

Seeing this, John did it again, while also making sure that he wouldn't get hurt by formed a small wind shield above the hydrogen explosion wind under him. 

*Boom* 

And again 

*Boom* 

The tower was being slightly pushed back, but it wasn't enough. On top of that, he could feel his consciousness fading. 

[Did the Sacred Art move take all of my magic power?] He wondered as he looked at his gloves. 

The magic stones were completely dried out, he'd never seen them so used up before. But even though they were in that condition, he continued to push through. 

"If I lose consciousness now... It's all over... Should I use revert again?" He asked 

He knew that if he did, it would definitely be over if he lost consciousness, as he began to wonder how exactly he would deal with this, he suddenly noticed the clouds gathering in the sky, away from the tower. 

[!] 

He turned his head to see what it was, and in that instant, he saw it. 

From the area where all the clouds were gathering, it emerged. It looked like the top of a spiraling hurricane or tornado. It was a massive amount of wind which span as it headed straight towards the tower. 

Confused, John looked down at the ground to see what was happening and noticed that there was a squad which stood out near the beach. 

There were around 20 all wore silver armour except for the two in the lead. The one in the right, carried a long sword on his waist as he wore his golden yellow armour while the one on the left, wore a robe and a staff. 

He couldn't see their features properly from where he was at, but decided to worry about it later. 

[The Royal Knights?] 

His staff was glowing, he was most likely the one who had cast this spell. 

The tornado was nearly as wide as the tower. It was gigantic. The very few people who were still there stared at it.

"What the hell..." Said John as he stared at it with a nervous smile 

[That's heading straight at me!?]
