Chapter 1240: Even In Death

For a powerful technique, or rather, Rune, like [Rune of the FIRST], it was disturbing how little significance it actually had in the arsenal of its users. Well, perhaps it was more apt to say that so far, it had never managed to permanently purge the powers of its targets during the battle, as was its purpose.

Caxellac had used it against Replicus, yet when the six-minute time limit the Progeny had been given to defeat the Null Devil King or else lose half his powers was elapsed, Caxellac had long perished.

Similarly, the thirty-minute time limit Replicus had given Skullius by using the [Rune of the FIRST] hadn't mattered much. The two's battle had ended in just a little more than a quarter of an hour.

The fact that the timer for this Rune ability was only just now chiming was a bit daunting to Replicus though, at least at first.
