Raphael had just finished killing the two Holy Lords, all alone. It was only after that he had some room to breathe.

He turned to Gabriel to see what the situation was like on the other side. However, he was quite surprised by what he saw.

Two more Holy Lords had died on Gabriel's side! What was even better was that Gabriel's bracelet had returned to their giant shackles form which was like a dragon, flying through a battlefield, destroying all the gates created by the Temple of Time to create the formation.

The battlefield was drenched in blood as death could be seen everywhere. At the moment, the millions of mages who had rushed to this place, thinking that it was a war that they could win were frightened out of their minds.

They were cursing themselves for even coming there! It was as if they had come to death's door on their own.

Let alone joining the battle, ever standing closer to the battlefield was hard for the ordinary mages, especially when Gabriel used the Wrath of Undead, wiping hundreds of thousands of mages at once!

Unfortunately, it was hard to kill Herriet thanks to his blood red crystal! Whenever Gabriel was able to kill Herriet, Herriet's crystal came into effect, sending his body back in time by a few seconds!

Thanks to that, it was as if Herriet could see the future since he was experiencing it first hand! Unfortunately, moving the time back was too taxing.

Herriet kept getting younger and younger as a pride. If he looked like a twelve year old before, then now he looked like an eight year old. Even he knew that he couldn't go on like this! If this continued, he was going to be wiped off the existence for using the crystal.

Unfortunately, he had no choice.

"Even if I have to die, I'll drag you with me!" Amidst the painful cries of hundreds of thousands of beings every second, Herriet clenched his fist tightly.

This time, he didn't use the Crystal of Time slowly. Instead, he placed the crystal in his mouth, swallowing it whole. Instead of using a fraction of its strength, he decided to use it all, even if it meant sacrificing his life for just a few seconds of Power!

He sacrificed his last eight years as well, for only thirty seconds of crystal's complete strength!

He hadn't expected Gabriel to be this strong even under the effect of the formation. However, it didn't matter! Before time, everything was useless!

As soon as he used the crystal to its full capacity, Herriet felt his body burning. It was as if his body was disintegrating slowly, unable to contain this massive power;

His hair turned pure white, as if they were brimming with incredible strength. His body was also surrounded by the aura of time. Space cracked around him constantly, as if unable to maintain the balance between space and time.

Herriet knew that there was no way back. Now that he had used his last resort, he had to die after thirty seconds... A painful death. However, no matter what, he still wanted to drag Gabriel with him to hell.

Gabriel was slightly surprised at how much strength the small insignificant red crystal contained.

He had never met the God of Space. However, for that person to be able to create such crystals, it was clear that his control over the Supreme Element of Space was much higher than his own control over the Element of Death!

He also hadn't expected that a mortal would've been able to use most of the strength of the God of Space thanks to the Crystal.

Gabriel didn't even have the time to think about it when the time suddenly stopped entirely. It was as if the Domain of Time had spread everywhere, covering the entire battlefield!

Inside the Domain, time didn't move slowly. Instead, it was completely halted! A Domain like this was something that only the True Gods that had complete control over their elements could cast.

Inside such a Domain, everything was under their control!

Even though time inside the Domain had stopped completely, for Harriet, it was still moving at normal speed. His body was still decaying at normal speed.

In the next moment, Herriet appeared right before Gabriel, who appeared to be frozen in time as well. Even though he also had a Supreme Element, he couldn't cast a Domain like that thanks to his control not reaching that realm.

Despite being frozen, at least he could still think. His body was frozen but his consciousness was free, allowing him to see everything.

This feeling was really strange.. he could feel what was happening but he couldn't do anything. He realized that he had really underestimated the Crystals.

"How does it feel?" Herriet stood right before Gabriel, with a cold smirk on his face. "Do you regret killing my brother? Don't worry. I'll send you to him to apologize personally!"

Twenty seconds had already passed, leaving only ten seconds. Blood could be seen trickling down Herriet's lips. His body was almost completely destroyed. He could feel himself dying, experiencing pain like never before.

However, he wanted Gabriel to feel much worse! He brought a small dagger out, that was made using a weaker Time Crystal. Not only did it work like a normal dagger, but it also had the potential to kill true gods, let alone an incomplete one like Gabriel.

"This is the dagger of my brother. And this shall be what kills you today!"

With only five seconds left, Herriet thrust the knife ahead!

"You talk too much." Just as Herriet thrust the knife ahead, a calm emotionless voice fell in his ears. Something grabbed his wrist, making it impossible for him to push the dagger forward.

He lowered his gaze, taken aback. How could someone move in the Domain? This didn't make sense! However, what he saw was even worse. It was Gabriel himself who stopped him!

Gabriel's left hand was holding onto his wrist, making it unable for him to move the dagger forward.

One second... Only one second was left in Herriet's control. However, he couldn't even pull the dagger back, let alone do anything else.

His skin cracked apart, as if he was a statue. Under the effect of time, his body had finally reached its limit.

His eyes were still open in disbelief as he watched Gabriel's face while his body broke apart, disappearing into nothingness.

He couldn't believe that even after using such strength, he still failed! Why? Was it because he wasted too much time talking, giving Gabriel a chance to recover? He had no idea.

However, even as he died, there was a devilish smirk on his lips.
