My Charity System made me too OP-Chapter 275: Typhoon Sea Rift V

The Queen moved.

Without warning, three of her tendrils snapped outward—and everything around them slowed. Millim's leap became sluggish, like she was moving through syrup. Roselia's firebolt stopped mid-air and hung, frozen. Even sound dampened.

Then, all at once—acceleration.

The bolt exploded. Millim reappeared behind the Queen with a massive punch already halfway in motion. The Queen, anticipating the skip, phased two seconds into the past, her form flickering out of Millim's strike radius.

Liliana cursed. "She's looping micro-movements! You can't hit her conventionally!"

"Then we change the rules," Leon said.

He activated the Time-Lock Protocol on his Miracle Sage Eyes—a function he'd only used once before.

[Mind-Sync: Crosslink Mode Engaged]

Effect: Leon temporarily synchronizes time perception between all allies.

Duration: 90 seconds. Cooldown: Long.

A golden flash lit up the battlefield. Everyone snapped into alignment. Sound, motion, magic—all re-synced.

"That's better," Naval grinned, spinning his halberd. "Let's crack the clockwork queen."

The battle kicked into full speed.

Aqua surged forward, cloaked in fast-cycling hydro armor, using bursts of displaced water to throw off the Queen's temporal sensors. She kept weaving between tendrils, hurling ripwave spears into her exposed gear segments.

Roman and Millim double-teamed a tendril cluster—one breaking the Queen's defensive tempo with constant pressure, the other using raw strength to hammer through when a pause occurred.

Roselia set fire to frozen time itself—her enchanted flame turning ice moments into shattered shards, fracturing the Queen's traps before they could fully form.

Liliana countered Memory Loop Traps with a rune-based feedback loop, locking down parts of the Queen's rotating segments so they couldn't reset.

Leon, meanwhile, waited.

Watched.

Measured.

Then—a flaw.

The Queen paused, if only for a heartbeat. One of her internal gears clicked wrong.

Leon moved.

He blurred forward, sword slashing through the air—and through her core housing.

[Critical Hit – Core Breach]

The Queen screeched—a high, reverberating wail that sounded like dozens of ticking clocks breaking at once. She began skipping erratically through time, her form glitching in and out of moments—present, past, future—at once.

Aqua's eyes widened. "She's destabilizing—she's collapsing into a time singularity!"

Leon didn't hesitate.

"Finish it!"

Everyone unleashed everything they had.

Roselia summoned a condensed supernova of flame. Naval dropped a full lightning field and speared it into her flickering frame. Roman threw both swords at full strength. Millim punched time itself, cracking the rift space around the Queen.

Liliana's voice rose in a chant—binding time itself in an ending sequence:

"Close this loop. Break the reel. No more rewinds."

The Queen's frame twisted once more—then shattered.

[Chrono-Drift Queen Defeated.]

Third Abyssal Pillar Broken.

The ocean around them resumed normal motion. Bubbles rose. Light returned. The reef beneath them solidified. Silence.

Then:

"Two more remain."

Leon wiped blood from the side of his face and nodded.

"We're over the halfway mark. No stopping now."

Liliana looked to the west, where the shadows thickened unnaturally.

"The next one... is already watching."

From that direction, feathers of shadow began to drift toward them—each one silent as a falling thought.

The sea darkened.

Not in color—in sound.

The silence that followed the Queen's destruction wasn't peaceful. It was unnatural. Even the ocean seemed to fear what came next. No currents. No fish. No flickers of distant life. Only drifting black feathers, each one trailing faint trails of forgotten memories.

Millim tilted her head, frowning. "Why's it so quiet? It's like the water's holding its breath."

Roselia whispered, "It's not water anymore."

A ripple passed through the reef beneath them, and the world seemed to sigh.

[BOSS ZONE ENTERED: DOMAIN OF THE WHISPERING MOURNER]

Sub-Zone: Forgotten Reflection Caverns

Effects Applied: Reality Distortion | Personal Echoes | Emotional Bleedthrough

A platform rose from beneath—a long, half-sunken cathedral of coral and glass mirrors, shaped like wings folded in mourning. Black coral pillars arched like bones. Floating above it all, suspended upside-down by invisible strands of psychic current, was the fourth boss.

The Whispering Mourner.

Her form resembled a drowned angel—humanoid in shape, wrapped in layered seaweed-threads and shattered scales, with wings made from strands of living shadow. Her face was veiled by mirrored glass that reflected each of them back, but broken—twisted versions of themselves, corrupted and wrong.

She didn't roar.

She whispered.

And her voice echoed not in their ears, but inside their minds—each word personalized, dredged from the deep archives of their fears.

Roselia's flame flickered uncertainly.

Aqua's breath caught, her body trembling.

Millim blinked rapidly, fists clenching.

"Don't listen," Leon snapped, activating the Mind Sanctuary again—but the dome flickered.

"Sanctuary won't hold long," Liliana murmured, her own reflection in the Mourner's mask whispering something silently. "She's not trying to overpower us—she's unraveling us from inside."
