Lord of the Time: I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Caleb gave Dunn a smile of disdain.

"Are you stupid? Of course, you played run and chase with the damn spider. It would be more of a surprise if all that running didn\'t exhaust you."

Rina and Jin sat beside Dunn. Just like him, they were breathing raggedly, and they just sat on the ground like that, not willing to move.

Jin looked at the sky and let out a resigned sigh. "Captain, I suggest we should take a rest first. I think this continuous fighting and pressure had caught our bodies. I feel that my body isn\'t listening to me anymore."

Fushigiro sat on the head of the spider\'s body. Not minding the sense of disharmony between the monkey head and spider body.

"If that\'s the case. Then we rest..."

...

The hunting party took a rest and spent the entire night in the deserted alley. They hid somewhere in an abandoned building. They had discovered that when the night fell, most spiders patrolled around the town. Luckily, the spiders weren\'t keen on entering buildings. They were just outside, crawling everywhere.

Then, after the morning came, the spiders retreated one after another. There are only a few ones outside hiding in the shadow. Jin speculates that the spiders weren\'t weak, or afraid of the sun. They just simply dislike it.

That\'s why the group has decided that they will move in the day and rest in the night. With that, the members cautiously made their way outside of the building. The sunset gave the gloomy town a slight sense of vitality. Its warm rays cast in each building.

Jin, Fushigiro, Rina, and Dunn turned their heads left and right in the alley to make sure that there were no spiders in the vicinity. As for the corpse of the previous spider they killed... They hit it inside the building, not intending to keep or store it. After all, it was not edible and it would be disgusting to eat.

"I don\'t feel refreshed at all." Dunn had black circles in his eyes and said weakly. He felt that his body lacked strength and energy. It was as if the night\'s rest didn\'t recover anything. No, he even felt more exhausted than before. \'Damn it? Did we catch some sickness?\'

Even Rina and Jin were in the same state as him. Jin\'s hair was disheveled, Rina looked disoriented, and Fushigiro was also starting to show the same signs as them. As for Fatty, Luna, Caleb, and Clifford, they look refreshed, just as they should be. Except for Fatty, who was in a critical condition.

"We need to reach the City of Phenos on this day." With a grave expression, Jin looked at everyone. "Or else Fatty\'s condition would worsen. "Then he specifically gave Rina, Dunn, and Fushigiro a look. "Not to mention, it seems we\'re suffering from fatigue."

\'It seems they are in a bad condition as well.\' Luna felt a despair in her heart. She had been taking care of Fatty the entire night. Wiping his sweat and some small amount of blood that sometimes leaks into his mouth. She knew that her friend might not make it tomorrow as this goes on.

"We won\'t be able to reach the city at this rate..." Fushigiro\'s eyes became cold and sharp as he looked at Fatty, Luna, Clifford, and Andre with a chilling gaze. "Not with burdens like them... How about we use them as bait?"

"..."

Silence reigned over the place. Jin, Rina, and Dunn looked at Fushigiro in disbelief. Unable to believe what they\'ve just heard. The three teenagers froze and felt fear gripped their hearts. The three backed out and looked at Jin and Caleb for help. They knew they were useless, but to use them as bait? It didn\'t occur to them that Fushigiro would have such a ruthless side.

Caleb, on the other hand, clenched his fist with a hidden glint in his pupils. \'Just as I\'ve thought! He\'s not a good person as he portrays he is!\'

His suspicions were right all along. Thinking of this, he hurriedly called his status.

\'Huh? My taboo energy requirement was already filled? Upgrade? Of course!\' Caleb clicked the yes button in anticipation. However, his excitement didn\'t last long. He received a message from the time slime that he needed to wait for 24 hours to complete the process of upgrading and become a Grade 2 Taboo Fighter. \'Damn it! What wait? I can\'t wait any longer!\'

He needed strength now the most...

"You finally revealed your true colors, captain." Caleb let out a chuckle. However, he was inwardly nervous. "I knew it all along... You have bad intentions towards the four."

Fushigiro\'s face indifference became even colder. He raised an eyebrow at Johan and asked:

"How so? I don\'t think I\'ve revealed anything. Don\'t be naïve, Johan. I know that they are your friends. But do you really believe we would be able to pass this town peacefully? Don\'t deceive yourself!!" A strong killing intent permeated Fushigiro\'s body. "However, if we use those kids as bait. Then we will be able to divert those bastards\' attention and pass smoothly. It\'s their fault for being weak. So choose... Do you want to antagonize me?"

"Antagonize you? So what if I did so?" Caleb stood in front of Luna and Fatty. "How did I know?? You are the culprit why Fatty is like that. You secretly used a soft fist to him while you were carrying him. That\'s why his internal organs now were in a mess."
