Clang Clang Clang!
Over a minute had passed since we started fighting. I am suppressed while it is pressing on me and forcing me to be completely defensive.
"You should give up, or it will be a painful death for you," it said.
"You are not powerful enough to defeat me, little snake," I replied, defending its attacks.
It is good, but I could kill it instantly. It was never a threat from the beginning. It's the one that is watching the battle secretly, and that is the reason why I am playing this whole charade.
The battle against it is giving me time to deal with the disadvantages of energy.
I have made some progress, which seemed shocking, seeing that I have been in this realm for a few minutes, but I have had information since this afternoon.
So, my clones are working on it for hours—days when counting the time dilation.
