[Liana POV]

"HAAAA.....ha....ha....ha....ha..." (Liana)

After what happened my body is now sweaty and I'm breathing heavily...

I touched my head with one of my hands to shake the thought of what I have just seen...

Thinking of what happened there hurts my head...

"LIA!" (Clap)

I can hear Clap calling from behind me...

I can only force a smile and turned around to face him...

"Are You Okay!? I Saw You Touched The Crystal And You Stop Moving!" (Clap)

"I-i am okay Clap no need to worry!" (Liana)

I turned my head back again and...

Saw the Red Crystal wall that should be blocking our way disappear...

"Huh..." (Liana)

Clap moved beside me as I kept looking at it...

"It Suddenly Disappears Right After You Touched It! I Was Shock You Know? Never Have I Seen Anything Like This Before!" (Clap)

"Hahaha..." (Liana)

I shake my head a couple of times as I think about what I saw in the memory...

Luckily enough the path is opened now because of that...

I take a deep breath and exhaled it to refresh my memory for a sec...

I then looked at Clap...

Clap only looked at me but I can tell that he might know what I am trying to tell him...

"Let's go" (Liana)

As I said that I and Clap started moving deeper...

And...

After many twists and turns without any encounters, we found ourselves right in front of a steep long shaft...

Leading down below the facility I think...

As I looked down I can only see darkness...

No crystals at all attached anywhere on the walls and other places from what I see...

No light at all to see the bottom...

I don't see any way we can go down except by jumping and sliding down...

Well...

"This is a predicament..." (Liana)

I turned my head to where Clap is...

Beside me...

Clap looked at me and looked down on the shaft and then at me again...

Does he have something in mind here?...

I want to know...

"Let's Just Jump Down!" (Clap)

I was about to trip as Clap said that...

Really?...

I looked at Clap again...

"Don't you have anything that you can use in there?" (Liana)

I pointed at Clap's chest or belly?...

But Clap shakes his head...

"I Only Have Some Tools! And Something Like A Tube For Getting The Crystals We Needed In My Inventory Right Now!~" (Clap)

"..." (Liana)

Is this the only way we can get down?...

Just jump?...

I'm having mixed filling about this...

As I wracked my head to think of something...

Kratak!kratak!...

My ears started twitching...

I heard something behind us...

We both slowly turned around and...

"Krick?" (???)

Saw an identical Crab monster that I once fight right behind us...

I slowly turned my head back as I saw that...

Guess we don't have much of a choice huh...

"Well, Clap since we are in this predicament I guess I'm going to tell you about a secret move that a certain Jo Sta* did when dealing with something like this..." (Liana)

"And What Is That?" (Clap)

I smiled at him...

"First turned your back from that thing then I raise my right foot and my left arm and after that... I'm going to shout..." (Liana)

"What?" (Clap)

We don't have much time so...

It is time to...

"NI GENRUNDAYO CLAPYYY!!!" (Liana)

"What???" (Clap)

"KIRRRIIIIII!!!!!" (???)

"AWAWAWAWAWAAAAAA!?" (Clap)

As I ran for my life I can see Clap zooming past me and as he stopped he was already out of bounds from the ledge...

"AAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" (Clap)

And he quickly falls down the shaft while screaming...

I might giggle a little from that comedic moment but I quickly jump off the ledge and slide down the shaft...

As I slide down...

I can see Clap rolling and spinning down right in front of me as I slide down the steep shaft...

"Maybe I should help him now..." (Liana)

As I was thinking that I can see the bottom of the shaft...

Got to quickly get ready to grab him... 

I quickly moved to where Clap was by crossing my hand on my chest so that I can get more momentum...

I then looked at Clap which was still spinning in front of me...

I take a deep breath...

"Here I go!" (Liana)

I quickly slide closer and closer to Clap and then as I was beside him now...

I quickly jumped and grabbed Clap with both my hand and as that happened we both then started spinning while falling...

I quickly calculated the timing as I think we are closed at the end now...

As I found the timing right I raised my left foot and slammed it hard on the ground and raised myself with Clap on my arms...

I spin a couple of times in mid-air before putting my right foot on the ground and jumping high while still having Clap on both my hand...

With Clap in my hand, I spin a couple of times in the air before I landed on the ground at the end of the long shaft but I then started rolling on the ground again because I accidentally Slip!...

"Uwa!?" (Liana)

I quickly raised my right leg and quickly slammed it on the floor again very hard to stop the spin, I jump a little but I then quickly landed on the ground with both my feet...

I kinda trip a little again but I manage to save it this time! I started stabilizing myself and...

My head hurts a little after that many spins...

After finishing stabilizing myself and stooping on track I put Clap down from my hands...

"Sigh*... Man what a workout... Good thing I'm good at athletics and fast at math..." (Liana)

I can see him spinning his body like he was dizzy...

Wait he is a robot right?...

Can a robot get dizzy?...

"Woo.... Remind Me Before Doing That! My Head Is Spinning!" (Clap)

"Hahaha... I'll note that" (Liana)

I started looking around...

Everything is dark at the bottom of the shaft but...

I can see something shining in the distance in front of us...

I started walking towards the light...

Clap also followed me from behind after swirling his body a couple of times...

Step...step...step...

My footsteps echo through the dark as I kept walking...

This place is quiet...

Too quiet I say...

I can't hear the explosion happening...

Is it because we are very deep underground?...

Badum!...

"Hm?" (Liana)

I felt like we just walked into something...

"This Is... Odd..." (Clap)

I looked at Clap as he said that...

"This Place Is Weird" (Clap)

"What do you mean by that Clap?" (Liana)

As I said that to Clap...

Clap raised one of his pincers straight up...

I tilted my head for a moment and slowly raised my head to look up...

"Ah..." (Liana)

What I saw was...

Floating rocks?...

I saw a lot of floating rocks above us...

Not just that I saw some boxes and other things as well...

It felt like they are frozen in place in the air...

Why is that?...

[Psss*] (???)

Suddenly I saw Eli appear on the screen in my eye...

[Eh?] (Elizabeth)

But for some reason, she had a confused face?...

But it seems that our connection is fine now without any static at least...

[How did I... Anyway, Lia where are you right now? are you okay? Is Clap with you? Is our communication fine? Is it still static over there? And-] (Elizabeth)

Eli suddenly started questioning me with a barrage of questions out of nowhere...

"Eli calm down! And yes I can hear you loud and clear Eli! No static at all" (Liana)

I was happy to know that I can communicate with Eli normally again now...

[That's good to know! Now... Are you okay over there?] (Elizabeth)

"Yeah I'm good but... Can you look at this Eli? I don't know what I am seeing right now... It felt like everything above us is frozen in place..." (Liana)

[Hm?... Ah........ Ah!] (Liana)

I heard Eli gasp as I said that...

Did she know something about this...

[This is... Time magic?] 

Time what now? You're not saying that this phenomenon is happening because someone used something legendary like Time magic right???...

Oh lord, I imagine myself fighting something as OP as Time magic...

The only thing I can do is activate [Perfect Evasion] and slow down time...

And not stop time completely...

And that also limits the size of the affected place...

[There is something wrong with what you said about slowing time Lia, [Perfect Evasion] did not slow down time but makes your body go faster for a couple of seconds making it look like time slowed down for you] (Elizabeth)

Oh...

Thank you for the correction, Eli...

I never knew that...

[Anyway, It seems like you are in a time plain... A place where time freezes and everything stops never thought I see this phenomenon again...] (Elizabeth )

"Wait you've seen this phenomenon before Eli?" (Liana)

[Yeah I have seen this before, got stuck inside it, and took a long time to get out but when got out not even a minute have passed] (Elizabeth)

"I see..." (Liana)

But as Eli said that then...

"Wait then how can you still call me when I'm already inside the Time Plain!?" (Liana)

Now that I notice it Eli should be outside!? And not in here with us!...

[Oh that? Hehehe~ I got my ways to do that~ one is that my subconscious is always inside you Lia~ my body is pretty much just what you call data so even if I get hurt I will still be okay and can just sleep to fix my body and even if you are in another dimension, plain, or anything else I can still communicate with you~ also... In a goddess remember? Even if time stops... When time resumed again as long as you didn't get frozen by time itself I can still talk to you even if my body is frozen in time! And after time resumes again I will still have the memory I have with you] (Elizabeth)

"Wow..." (Liana)

The more you know...

Never would have thought that Eli can do that...

[Well... Anyway, since time stopped here that means I can help you without worrying about the things that are happening out there now! Lucky me...] (Elizabeth)

"Hm? What do you mean by that Eli?" (Liana)

I can see Eli turning her eyes away from me...

[Well... Let's just say sometimes happened and... You can worry about that later since time stop right now!] (Elizabeth)

"U huh..." (Liana)

I don't know what is happening outside but it can't be good when Eli turned her eyes away from me...

Well with that said...

I and Clap started moving again with Eli staying with me on the screen in my eye...
