Chereads / A Sword Matrix / Chapter 13 - Ruptured Ethoses

Chapter 13 - Ruptured Ethoses

Your time is running out, it's never too late. Your lifeline is at the end, it was never your fate. Some things are never forgiven, you need to be grateful for the gifts you were given. Find your reality, grab that cup of tea. See yourself in this scenery and you will see the trickery, tricks like those are ordinary but if you understand them then you are legendary. You cannot surpass me, you cannot trespass for free, you cannot break free from Ruptured Ethoses.

Freya is still in a long sleep.

What have I done? even if I wasn't myself it was still my hands that killed Lana, Eros and Azorius. I should be ashamed of the things that I did. I need to bring justice to those souls by giving my life to them so that I can reincarnate them.

*Warning: New entity detected, living extra entity will be erased in 60 seconds*

Oh my god! I have 60 seconds to live in this world! what should I do !? Should I use the time sword to go back in time again? How could I vanish like that! I need to do so many things to do here!

*Entity clashing is prohibited: new entity distance 300 m, ME applied to stormed in entities*

What? what do you mean by ME? let me check the books quickly. I will just see that clock to check the time remaining. I don't have much time I need to see what ME is and I need to go back in time. I quickly looked into one book and saw that ME means "Magnetic effect".

*ErAsing TiMEr: 30 seconds left*

Are you kidding me! I just have 30 seconds to live! I need to think faster! come on think, think carefully on how to use this time sword. ah...Ha! I need to stab it in my heart.

*ErAsing TiMEr: 25 seconds left time travelling ceased*

I was just about to time travel!! now I am just as good as dead!

*Entities clash occurred, 30m forbidden distance occurred executing "Eradicate entities from existence"*

Eradicating me from existence! why! where is that other entity please! I want to live! go away!

*ErAsing TiMEr Reduced: 10 seconds remaining*

Oh god! please!

*ErAsing TiMEr countdown: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...*

What the? what is happening the countdown stopped at 1 second? Did I just do something with the time sword? hmm... it looks normal to me, first keep that aside! I am very happy that I am still alive even after that count down.

"Found you" a voice came behind me.

I looked back and I saw Azorius who was looking angry and had an aura that he definitely wanted to kill me.

He punched me in the face and asked me "Do you remember me?" I replied, "yes I do remember you because you have the same face as me". It was very strange but he had my face and by looking at his actions and his eyes I definitely sensed Azorius in him i.e. Azorius character in him.

He keeps on hitting me and with an angry tone, he asks me "Why do you have my face!? why did you not kill me!? why can't you hit me!?" Even if he keeps hitting me or try to kill him. I can't kill him because of two reasons, one reason is that he has my face and the other reason is that I don't want to go through that pain again that I killed all those people without even a hesitation.

He said he was the one who stopped time so that we both could not vanish. He said he will kill me and Freya because we weren't supposed to exist.

I only asked one question "Do You have the courage to kill your own face Azorius!" He replied that "If I had to kill myself a thousand times and also a whole army of me I would have tremendous courage to do so, and my name is not Azorius" I asked what his name was he said, "You're not even worthy to know my name!"

He continues to beat me up. I am so pathetic that I can't kill my own face. He got tired from hitting me. He just realised that I can keep regenerating unless some other life form exterminates me.

Freya woke up at the wrong time.

She just woke up at the wrong time! How should I save her now! "How are they two of you" Feared Freya. The Unkown character of me transformed into a Cerberus and looked at Freya with a killing instinct. He jumped on Freya but she dodged it. I told her "Run! I will take care of this".

She runs into the forest.

I fought back on him. We two were fighting very savagely that world shook in terror, everyone saw the horror, I am just fighting my mirror. He bit me on my leg I couldn't walk properly. He saw my condition and went after Freya.

He was running very fast that I couldn't see and so was Freya she ran like there was no tomorrow.

I was way back behind trying to run with my wounded leg. Even if it was wounded I ran like a warrior. I need to kill him there is no choice but to start time again and exterminate both of us so we don't even exist. That way at the very least I will save a life. You might be wondering its just one life saved in exchange of our two lives. But if you think a little carefully, if I got erased from existence then I could save one life in this timeline which would mean in an alternative timeline, in a paradox I would have saved infinite lives.

I keep chasing even though I can't catch up to them. After some time from afar, I can see them fighting. I went in between and fought him too. Freya stabbed his left eye, I stabbed his right leg with the time sword. Cerebrus if you stab on one head all heads have the same effect. so, therefore, he had a disadvantage.

He got badly wounded.

He pushed me and Freya with his giant Claws. He rushed to Freya with a very brute force but I stopped it. His claws stabbed in my throat and held me in his left hand. Freya used some wooden log on him to save so he fell along with me. While I was in concussion I was still in his left hand, he heartlessly killed Freya in front of me.

I got so angry!

The time sword was glowing a dark blue light. I stabbed him in the heart and also I cut his left hand. He was still alive and crawling so I put an end to his pain by stabbing him there again.

He died. Time came back

*ErAsing TiMEr countdown: 1... manually killed entity program "Erasing from Existence" terminated Erasing manually killed entity*

While he was slowing getting erased, I went to Freya's body to try using her gems to heal but this time she did not heal. She died in my own hands. I could have saved her. He completely got erased from this world, he faded away.

I buried Freya in a grave that I made near the mysterious house and kept a rock near it with her name carved by me. Also, I buried Azorius, Eros and Lana in three other graves near Freya.

I gave a moment of silence and then wanted to talk my heart out. I cried near all those graves when I wanted to speak about something I couldn't because I became mute which means that I cannot speak. The claws were still stuck in my throat even after I recovered. The Spirit thought it was my body part so it didn't erase those claws.

Can I not talk anymore forever? Now there are only two things I need to do. one thing is Reincarnating all these people again. The next thing is to rule time and terminate time forever so that nobody can time travel.

I just found a way to rule time and also found the origin of the name who had my face, the person that I killed and the person who was erased by the spirit.

His name was...
