Interlude: Snow Festival (III)

Fwip!

"Time Acceleration!"

Puff—

"F—Fuck!"

I barely managed to react as the sudden force of the backlash hit me, sending me stumbling back a few steps.

My hands shook, my head ached, and my body felt like it had just run an entire marathon in a second.

"God damn it... fuu..."

Taking a deep breath, I furrowed my eyebrows, staring blankly at my hands. My fingers twitched slightly, but that was it.

No glow.

No lingering mana.

No sign that I had successfully cast anything at all.

Honestly, when I saw that my second affinity or element was Time, I was immediately ecstatic, however...

But I didn't think it would be this much of a problem.

From the moment I awakened my second affinity, I had been training like a madman to use it.

Every single day.

Every single night.

I barely even slept.

I even used mana to ease my body so I didn't need sleep.
