Pause System: Harem In The Apocalypse-Chapter 116

Gray pulled his arms back as far he could, before putting his all into the first attack.

*SWOOSH!* *STAB*

He stabbed the horned king's eyes with his two fingers, before crashing his knee into his chin.

Taking his time, he walked towards the direction the king would go flying before swinging his arms down.

[Pause] [Unpause]

The king went flying towards, Gray.

His eyes were squinted, teary and red as he groaned out in pain during the flight.

The instant he had reached Gray - His right arm was slashed off.

His face was suddenly grabbed mid-air and paused again.

Veins bulged out on Gray's hand as he squeezed, the king's face tightly. His eyes began to pop out as they grew redder with veins.

At that moment, Two large dimensional cubes formed, over Gray's left arm.

*Splatter*

The cubes vanished, chopping his arm off.

Gray watched his arm dropped to the floor, but he didn't let out so little as a groan.

Blood spurted out of his arm, but that didn't stop him.

Instead, he squeezed even more tightly on the horned king's head before pausing his brain. He unpaused the rest of the body in the process.

The king's eyes were frozen closed as Gray slammed a kick into the side of his temple.

*WHAM*

His head rattled left and right but was forced to stay in the same spot because his brain was paused there.

Gray repeated this again, sending another four kicks before unpausing.

The instant he did, The king's eyes opened wide, as he dropped to his knees.

His brain crashed around inside of his skull so much that blood began to come out of his nose and ears.

With his figure collapsed, close to collapsing. The horned King snapped out of it.

He grit his teeth as a distortion suddenly appeared right behind him in the dimension.

It dragged him into it.

Escaping into a distortion in the distortion, he vanished.

Gray followed after leaping into it.

As he leapt into the distortion. His eyes widened as he could surrounded by nothing but darkness.

Distortions could be seen occurring all around the darkness.

He could hear a laugh, as the king yelled out. "You fool! To enter my dimension once more! Inside of this place… I AM THE KING! I REIGN OVER ALL! YOU ARE BUT AN INSECT TO ME!"

The voice echoed throughout the dimension making him harder to track.

[Dimensional Manipulation: Displacement]

Gray suddenly felt a chill go his spine.

He leapt up, and felt his location suddenly swapped. The bottom of his shoe's were scraped away,

He could tell that he was standing in a different place, even if he couldn't see.

Closing his eyes, he focused all he had onto his senses.

The pattern on his forehead glowed brighter and through his closed eyelids he could see it.

The outline of the Horned King's body.

Just as Gray was about to pause step towards him, he was suddenly caught in another dimension cube which overlapped him.

It trapped him inside, preventing him from breaking out.

[Dimensional Shrinkage]

The cube began to shrink down, aiming to compress on Gray who was inside.

Whilst this happened Dimensional spears appeared all around the cube, and the ground beneath his legs began to spin around as if an attack was coming.

But the angered expression did not change in Gray's face.

He proceeded to swing his arm around both vertically and diagonally before pausing it.

He then placed his hand on the cube which was compressing and muttered. "Fast forward.

[Fast forward.]

The cube's shrinkage suddenly sped up, causing it to compress right onto the paused slashes.

Being unable to compress something stationary, the compression cube shattered from within, allow Gray to emerge.

The dimensional spears which were propelled at him, suddenly halted right before him without him so much as glancing towards it.

Resembling a demon.

He walked towards the horned king, though his outline he could see that his leg was almost healed back.

It was quite a useful ability, to be able to heal.

Surprisingly enough, the wound from Gray's severed limb had closed.

His regeneration wasn't as good as the horned king's but it was better than nothing.

Seeing him get closer, the horned King began to teleport all around as he created more dimension cubes to close off at Gray.

But once again, as the colours suddenly changed, even if slightly inside of the darkness. ｆ𝘳e𝒆w𝗲𝐛𝘯𝐨νe𝚕.cｏ𝓶

Everything had once again come to a stop.

It had stopped just at the time another large cube was about to envelop around Gray.

Gray could see the outline of spikes inside through his closed eye.

[Pause Level ???: Incomplete Time Stop.]

One fortunate thing Gray noticed was that the Horned King was no longer teleporting. 𝗳𝙧𝐞𝚎w𝗲𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝑒𝘭.𝑐om

He too could not set any new dimensional cubes during paused time.

The only reason he could probably move in the first place was because they were inside of his dimension while time was paused.

But it didn't matter.

Gray didn't care.

He didn't care if the king could, or couldn't move.

He didn't care if the king was stronger or weaker than him.

He didn't even care about what the king had to say.

The only thing he knew was but a single fact.

He was going to kill him.

*BAM!* *BAM!* BAM!*

Gray leapt towards the King, who's leg and right arm was still not grown back.

With his one arm, he began to relentlessly strike him, over and over with no mercy.

He'd swing constant straights and right hooks with his only remaining hand.

The king who would try to dodge or block, would still end up being hit

He'd try to run, but it was to no avail as he'd fall right after since he was on one leg.

*WHAM!* *WHAM!*

The king's head cocked to the left, before cocking to the right, as Gray unleashed a fury of punches on him.

He swung his fist towards Gray, only to watch as he easily dodged them by swaying to the left and countering with his right.

Without giving the King any time to grimace or even process what was happening - Gray swung his fist into his chest, followed up with a left hook to his chin and finished him off with an upper cut.

As the King's body dropped to the ground, Gray mounted him before unleashing a fury of one armed punches at his face.
