Pause System: Harem In The Apocalypse-Novel

Gray's entire upper half was implanted into the wall headfirst, leaving only his legs and arms sticking out.

A range of distortions began forming in the air above the king, before taking the shape of a sword. A furious expression was present on his face.

Gray plopped his head out of the wall, his expression was shaken as his vision had grown blurry from the attacks.

Distorted chains, rose out of the grounds and walls around him, extending themselves towards him, before wrapping themselves around him.

[Pause Chains]

The distortions in the air around the king took the shape of countless swords which constantly changed shaped.

These swords seem to age as rust grew on them with every passing second.

[Do not get hit by those swords. You will age rapidly.]

Gray tried moving his body but the chains were restricting his every move.

Even if he tried, there was no dodging the swords which were propelled straight at him.

*Swoosh*

Dark circles with the threads emerging from them could be seen appearing all over the backyard.

A figure could be seen flying around dodging the threads with incredible acrobatics.

It was Violet.

Whilst she flew, she glanced towards the horned one sending telekinetic waves towards him.

The threads around him linked up, creating a dark shield made of threads which cancelled out the waves.

She also couldn't do her twister move as she was too far from him and constantly moving since she set off the traps.

"Aurora!" Violet yelled out.

Aurora was already on it as the ice which was formed beneath her ran up the mansion's walls before it began to spread itself through the top of the roof.

The horned one leapt off the roof, just before the ice could hit him.

But as he did, he noticed four lances of ice with a strange wind sphere rotating behind it, pointed right at him.

Beside Aurora, was Kylo, Lita and Lara.

Lita was directing her of his moves, Kylo was controlling the wind spheres and Lara was healing the marks she had gotten from the threads.

His eyes winded as the wind spheres propelled the lances towards him at high speeds.

He stretched out his finger and a thread extended out of it towards the mansion's walls.

The thread pierced through the wall, pulling his body to the side, allowing him to barely dodge, one of the lances.

The thread detached from the wall as the ice began to spread towards it.

He stretched his finger again and the thread extended towards them, landing on the ground on the corner of the mansion before pulling him again.

His body rotated in the air, and the 2nd and 3rd lance passed right by him, leaving only one more lance which was timed and propelled precisely at the point for which he was heading.

*Crash!* *Crackle*

It made contact.

But with his shield.

His thread shield had moved towards the top of the mansion to the bottom, before halting just ahead of him.

The ice lance crashed into it, the ice spreading through it, before stopping as the threads came apart.

Following that, he stretched his hand out towards them.

And in that instant.

Black threads suddenly appeared around each of them individually before wrapping itself around them.

It was instantaneous, they couldn't react. It wrapped itself around their legs, arms, waist and even neck.

Their four bodies were lifted, as the threads grew tighter and tighter. They couldn't breathe.

"Violet!" Aurora called out to her.

Violet suddenly came to a stop as she landed on a bundle of threads which had been set ahead of her.

When the traps weren't just going off with an objective. They were creating even more traps based on her flight pattern.

Now even Violet was caught. Her figure halted in the air, as the threads wrapped themselves around her too.

The man burst into laughter, thinking that it was his win. "Ah~ That was fun… You all played up a good fight~ But-"

*Stab*

He was suddenly interrupted as a lance of ice suddenly pierced his arm from the sides.

*Stab* *Stab*

Another two followed right after, as one pierced his other arm from the left and the last other pierced him from the front.

A confused look could be seen on his face as he turned towards Violet.

Her finger was pointed at him.

It was then that he realised. The three lances which had missed hadn't just missed.

They were caught by her telekinesis and propelled right back at him the moment he had dropped his guard.

A surprised expression could be seen on his face before his figure was suddenly frozen stiff, submerged in a large ice spike.

A sigh was let out as a relieved look appeared on their faces.

That relief was wiped off their face however, in the following instant as from within the ice slashes erupted.

The horned man's figure emerged out of the ice. A look of ecstasy could be seen on his face.

Just before he was trapped, he had wrapped threads around him. Those exact threads were what broke him out of it.

Their heart sank. Their plan had failed.

"It's a shame… You were all so close…" He muttered. "Die for me… Okay~?"

[Spatial Manipulation - Teleport]

Out of nowhere, Ria's figure appeared before him. Her knees bent, leaning in towards him. Her hand stretched out, just ahead of his chest.

None of them saw it coming, much less him. He had completely forgotten, that there was another one.

He tried reacting, but it was too late. He had already used the threads he had wrapped around his body to escape from the ice.

'I complete forgot – There was one more' The thought flashed by his mind.

[Spatial Manipulation – Distort]

*VAOM!*

The sound of air being scraped away, resounded as a large hole suddenly appeared on his chest, right ahead of her hands.

Not an ounce of flesh could be seen as the hole was basically see through.

With a confused look, he dropped to his knees. The wound in his chest, slowly began to heal as the flesh began to connect itself from within, in aims of closing the wound.

The threads inside of his body also seemed to have been aiding with and speeding up this process.

"Don't you dare hurt my brother's friends…" Ria said coldly as she placed her hand ahead of his head.

[Spatial Manipulation – Distort]

*Splatter*

His entire head was scraped out of existence. Causing blood to spurt out before his figure dropped to the floor.

It was no longer healing.
