I Got 999 Level With One Cut

Loli Merlin was somewhat puzzled. Because she was very sure that what she saw was an Earth element gravity skill, and not any magic that could change the flow of time.    

Furthermore, it was not only the girl's memory that proved this point. The active Earth element in the air also provided a solid basis for this statement. After all, if Riko had released a Time element spell just now... As a Great Devil Instructor, her Elemental Affinity would definitely be able to sense it.    

But now, in this vast and empty ocean, other than the Earth element that should not have been active here and the rich water element that came with it, there was no time attribute at all.    

The gravity skill had such an effect?    

"You say slow, I can't hear you clearly."    

However, when Riko heard Black Haired Great Devil Instructor's words, she stood within the range of the gravity skill and her reaction was so slow that she paused for a second before replying. The whole process was as strange as a slow-motion video.    

Loli Merlin did not know what happened, but she could roughly infer that her position and Riko's time flow were not equal.    

Hence, she also slowed down the speed of her speech and dragged out the long sound in an attempt to let Riko understand.    

Can you hear it now? "    

" I can hear you clearly, but why did you say it so quickly just now? "    

"It seems like your time has slowed down."    

"I also feel that something is wrong." Riko dragged her voice as she replied.    

"So. Quickly stop this spell." Loli Merlin said.    

Riko slowly tilted her head.    

"Okay."    

Then, she finally cut off the magic supply that maintained the arrangement of the gravity skill elements.    

The hill-like seawater fell back into the sea under the effect of gravity, stirring up waves that were bigger than usual.    

The shield in front of the silver-haired girl also gradually faded. The runes naturally dissipated in the air.    

Loli Merlin finally heaved a sigh of relief. She controlled the flying skill to let the Wind Element bring her forward.    

Although the gravity skill Riko used just now was only a Sixth Rank spell, it had been improved by her. The power of this spell was far greater than any ordinary gravity skill. That kind of terrifying power, even if it wasn't directed at her, still made the black-haired girl feel a wave of pressure.    

It was as if there was a sword hanging above her head that could fall at any time.    

The moment the spell dissipated, that pressure also disappeared in an instant. Only the silver-haired girl, who looked harmless and hovering in the air, remained in the world.    

Loli Merlin blinked her eyes and floated to Riko's side.    

"Rikku?"    

"En?"    

"Are you going to study the time flow problem caused by this gravity skill?"    

Riko Hasegawa nodded.    

"Yes. I accidentally found it. I thought it was just an illusion, but I still decided to take some time to give it a try."    

Riko smiled and stared at the sea in the distance. " Unexpectedly, this really happened. When I was standing beside the gravity skill just now, I could clearly see that the things around me had become a little faster. The flapping of the bird's wings was unusually frequent, and the waves rolled forward at a strange speed. Thorn, your words have also become extremely fast. I can't hear what you are saying clearly. Although I haven't figured out the reason yet, but if I do it again twice... I should be able to observe it. "    

When Loli Merlin heard Riko say this, she suddenly thought of an idea.    

"Rikku, did you bring a watch? A pocket watch or whatever, as long as it is a tool that can measure time."    

"Eh?"    

Riko was stunned for a moment. Then, she took out a piece from the pocket of her robe.    

It was a pocket watch with a long chain on it.    

She was a teacher of the people. Sometimes, she still needed to look at the time from time to time. She couldn't just rely on the fixed clock in the classroom.    

These small time measuring tools were different from the simple physical effects of the clock. What allowed the pocket watch to operate accurately was not the precise mechanical structure. It was a series of small mechanisms created by the reaction of elements and magic. This also caused these small time measuring tools to be more than ten times more expensive than normal pendulums. Apart from combat professions and pharmacist, they were also several dozen times more expensive. Ordinary people really could not afford to use these tools.    

Loli Merlin took the pocket watch and put it together with her watch. Then she injected magic power into it and slightly adjusted it, making the two watches that originally had minute differences completely synchronize with each other. Even the rhythm of the second needle movement was exactly the same.    

"Done."    

She returned it to Riko.    

"If you want to do another experiment, put this in the area affected by magic. After it's done, take it out and you can measure the difference in the flow of time."    

"Thank you."    

This time, in order to prevent the pocket watch from being crushed by the huge pressure of the gravity skill, Riko put several layers of shields on the watch. Then, she and Loli Merlin retreated together and watched as the gravity sucked up the seawater again. It formed a tall mountain formed from liquid.    

About a minute later, Riko Hasegawa seemed to have discovered something and she tugged at Loli Merlin's clothes.    

"I found it."    

"What did you find?" Loli Merlin looked confused.    

"I felt the distortion of time and space."    

Loli Merlin still did not understand, but Riko had already stopped the magic and flew over to take her pocket watch. She put it together with Loli Merlin's pocket watch and compared it.    

This further proved that the flow of time around the gravitational field would indeed slow down.    

The watch that was placed outside had already passed a minute, but the watch that was thrown next to the gravity skill had not even been 45 seconds.    

"Isn't this the difference in time?" Loli Merlin asked.    

Riko shook her head. As a Titled Devil Instructor, she was also a Peak Titled Devil Instructor who stood at the top of all living beings. This gave her the chance to touch upon the deeper theories and sense the concepts that no one could understand. She could even approach the source of this world that no one could touch.    

"Just now, I could feel that it wasn't just time, there was also space, or rather, some sort of basic thing that made up our world. It was like a canvas that should have been flat to begin with"    

She waved her hands randomly, struggling to explain what she meant just now.    

"Because of the existence of gravity, it was this fundamental thing that made up our world that had a certain degree of distortion"
