Pause System: Harem In The Apocalypse-Novel

Inside of the underground military facility, the Duke could be seen walking through a long closed off hall.

The doors ahead of him were locked down and reinforced, making it so that he wouldn't be able to pass through.

But without slowing down for even a second, he continued to walk, the doors would burst open on their own, as the metal would be bended from the building creating a hole inside of it.

Through the cameras set up around the facilities, they could see him drawing closer to the inside where all the people were.

The facility was set up in the form a maze, if you didn't know where you were going, you'd hit a dead end.

But every left or right he took brought him closer and closer. It was as if he could see where everyone was or someone had leaked him a map of the path.

Regardless, things were getting out of hand.

It wouldn't be long until he reached the president, the executive and all the innocent bystanders training their abilities there.

The families of the people in squads, sacrificing their lives during this war.

Zombies could be seen rushing down the way he came, chasing after the sound. But whenever they had gotten close to him, their heads would just explode.

The officers and ability users who were sent, would experience the same fate. No one knew what was happening or how his ability worked.

The raid was completely one-sided. There was nothing that could stop him.

Until –

A figure appeared ahead of the duke.

Long snow white hair, braided around the back. Crimson red eyes, and a uniform with a crest belonging to the Imperial Fallen Angel opposition corps on it.

There was a calm air to her as she stood there, her eyes glued to to him.

Without stopping he continued to move.

The people who were watching through the cameras, keeping an eye on his location were worried. She was the strongest member they had and involved in the raid coming up in the next hour.

They were praying for her to do well. Not just for herself, but also her family which was with them.

His finger twitched and whilst standing on the same spot the girl swayed to the left.

At that instant, her hair swayed back as something brushed right past it.

A surprised look appeared on the duke's face as he came to a stop.

"How did you dodge it? You… You can see it?" He asked.

The girl, leaned in placing her hand on her hilt. The air around her changed considerably as a circle of air, appeared behind her.

The temperature in the room increased as she got ready to kick off.

"The wind… It moved." She muttered as she shook her head.

Gray leapt from the wall, straight towards the king.

He appeared before him with an axe kick in motion, heading down at his head.

Without moving a step, the king placed both hands above his head in a cross to block.

A it dropped, Gray's leg made it's way around it, before slamming against his chin from beneath.

[Trajectory Shift]

*WHAM!*

The king's head cocked back, an angered expression could be seen on his face as he swung a fist to counter.

The punch landed on Gray's arms, sending him sliding back. He had blocked it.

He quickly charged at the king again, throwing two jabs as he stepped in.

The king dodged, the jabs, sending a counter hook towards Gray.

Gray stepped back, avoiding the counter before sending a straight at the king's face.

The king blocked with his arms, before sweeping down at Gray's feet.

*Swoosh*

Gray hopped over it, towards the king with the thrust of a kick heading to his head.

The king raised his guard up to block it, but remembered what happened with the last kick, so instead he took a step back.

The kick stopped right ahead of the king's face as it failed to reach him.

Gray pulled back his feet, and the king followed after, cracking the ground behind his feet as he stepped with immense speed.

Using the momentum, he rotated his upper half, sending a counter straight towards Gray who had reflixevely stepped back.

Gray's eyes widened, as the fist seemed like a mountain before him. It contained a lot ounce of the king's power.

The momentum from his step back was dragging him backwards and the punch was too fast.

A thought flashed by Gray's mind. Doubt. He doubted that he would survive it, getting hit by it.

[Trajectory Shift]

*SWOOOSH!*

Air burst out through the edge of the king's fist. It had come into contact with thin air.

The king's eyes widened.

[…!]

Gray was stepped in, swayed to the left and ducked down, with his right arm pulled back.

He had used trajectory shift on himself, shifting his upper body to the left to avoid the punch.

*WHAM!*

Gray punched at the king's face with a straight with all his gathered moment.

As the king's head bopped back, stunned and shocked, he pivoted with the same leg, before swinging a left hook towards his chin.

*BAM!*

The king's head cocked to the left, but it wasn't over.

Gray pivoted once more, sending a rising uppercut up right towards the bottom of king's chin

*BAM!*

The king's body lifted off the ground, he spun backwards before landing on his back.

[…!]

The system was surprised, just as much as the King. The system had never expected for Gray to use his trajectory shift in the way which he had in the final moment.

It was a complicated move to grasp, he had only learnt it a few hours ago.

He'd also been training his martial arts for not that long, and yet he already had the forms in place without buying any masteries.

The system couldn't begin to formulate how much stronger he'd become with the proper training.

Gray without waiting for the king to get up, Gray rushed towards him, aiming to mount on him to finish him off.

The expression of shock, shifted to an expression of fury on the king's face. A strange aura along with blood lust was suddenly emitted from him.

The instant he took a step forward. He felt a chill go down his spine.

[Fast forward]

Gray's eyes widened, the figure of the king was gone he was also standing at a different spot than before.

In that instant, his head bopped back six times and air burst behind it consecutively before he was blasted away - *CRASH*

"YOU DARE!? I AM ONE OF THE AUTHORITY OF TIME! THE KING OF KINGS!! YOU DARE COME INTO MY HOME AND ATTACK ME!?"
