Time 0.5

Kali scanned the small army in front of her, there were about seventy of them. She nodded to Erza to let her know it was fine to attack now, Erza was strong enough to hold her own against Erigor.

Turning back to the army in front of her, Kali jumped up and down while swinging her arms a bit, if only she had the orange uniform everything would've been better.

"Now then, let's get started," said Kali.

Screams were heard from the other side.

"Kill her!"

"Attack!"

"Eat this!"

Three beams of magic were headed towards Kali, but she didn't even bother to dodge, instead, she let it come at her.

"Oh? You're not dodging? I guess it's the end for you! Hahaha!"

Kali shook her head. "You got it all wrong, it's that I don't need to dodge. I'm called the Killer of Time for a reason."

With a snap of her finger, the three magic beams that were going to hit her suddenly stopped mid-air, a few feet before Kali.

"Eh? Why'd it stop?" the cannon fodder asked in shock.

"Feel grateful that you're going to witness my magic," said Kali.

With another snap of her finger, a white arrow appeared above Kali.

"Pierce," she muttered.

The white arrow pierced through the head of the cannon fodder at a speed his eyes couldn't see. His entire demeanor changed in an instant.

"Gu gu gah gah," he muttered as he dropped to the ground, sucking his dumb.

Arrow of Time Reversal, if directed at a specific part of a living thing or an inanimate object, the thing will go back to how it was in the past. For example, if shot at a building, the building will become nothing since it wasn't built yet in the past, but that depends on how far back in time it was reversed.

In the cannon fodder's case, the Arrow of time Reversal targeted his mind, Kali set the time-reversal to a few decades back, that was when the cannon fodder was still a baby.

Kali stared at the baby who was in the body of a grown man, her eyes glanced up to see the reaction of the other people that witnessed the scene, they were all in shock.

"If you don't want to become like him, why don't you all give up?" Kali asked in the nicest way possible.

However, they didn't give up.

"As if!"

"Avenge him!"

"She can't shoot us all!"

When Kali heard that, she took it personally.

"Oh really?" Kali muttered, as if challenging whoever said that.

Raising her arm, a countless amount of arrows formed in sync. The people started shooting magic at her hoping to stop whatever Kali was doing, but it was useless.

As Kali swung her arm down, the countless Arrows of Time Reversal were all precisely directed at each one's mind, piercing them without a sound. The people in front of her all dropped to the ground with a thud, their thumbs in their mouths.

The train station was filled with baby noises as Kali stared at them in disgust, she hated babies, they were annoying and were incredibly difficult to deal with.

Looking around, there was no one else here. Kali found it hard to believe these were their main members, they were far too weak. Natsu and Gray must've encountered them, that was probably why.

"Oh well, they'll probably be just fine. I should go look for Erza, she might be in danger." Kali muttered, feeling like an older sister.

Right when she was about to kick down a wall to leave, a familiar voice called out to her.

"Kali!" Gray shouted.

Kali looked up in the direction of Gray's voice. "Gray! What is it?!"

"Eisenwald's real target is the town up ahead! Gramps' and the others' conference! They plan to use the Lullaby there!" shouted Gray.

"I see, do you know where the exit is so that we can get to where the conference is held?" asked Kali.

"I do know where the exit is at but we can't head over there because the train station is surrounded by a Magic Wind Wall. If you try to break out, you'll be turned into mincemeat." Gray replied, making an ice slide to get down.

"A Magic Wind Wall? They set up a magic barrier as weak as that?" Kali asked in disbelief.

"Ha?! Weak? That thing would've turned my hand into pieces if I didn't pull away." said Gray.

"Ah, I forgot I'm an SS-Rank wizard, I've fought against unimaginable things that you would've never thought existed before," said Kali.

"Tsk, if you're so strong, why don't you break down the barrier?" Gray asked in a challenging tone.

"I can, but what about Natsu and the others? I'd like to wait for them, I want strength in numbers," said Kali.

"They'll come later, you know how Natsu is, he'll take forever," said Gray.

"You're not wrong, I guess I can break down the barrier to make it easier for everyone. Let's go," said Kali.

With a swift kick to the wall in front of her, the wall instantly bursted into different pieces. The rapid swirling wind came into view, Kali understood why he said that her hand would turn into mincemeat.

"But this isn't enough to leave a scratch on me," said Kali as she walked towards the Magic Wind Barrier.

Gray watched in worry as Kali reached her hand out to the Magic Wind Barrier, his anxiousness grew more and more as Kali's hand got and closer to the barrier. When Kali's hand was fully in, Gray's heart nearly leaped out of his chest.

"This barrier is really weak," said Kali.

Once her hand was inside the barrier, the rapid swirling came to a stop. The air was calm, there was no wind blowing like there was before. Just by sticking her hand through the barrier, it became nothing more than just wind.

With a snap of her finger, Kali formed an arrow from the inside. Swiping her finger, the arrow shot at the barrier as it fell apart. The town finally came into view.

"See? It wasn't that hard," said Kali.

"That only because you're much stronger than the person who set up this barrier. If it was someone stronger than you who set up this barrier, your hand would've been cut off," said Gray.

"That'll never happen cause there's no one else stronger than me," said Kali.

"Gildarts is stronger than you," said Gray.

Hearing this, Kali let out a loud chuckle. "You can believe whatever you want to believe, but if you ever meet him again, you can ask him who's stronger."

"Fine, I will," replied Gray.

"Also, come out already, there's no way you can go undetected when I'm here," Kali called out.

"What're you talking about?" asked Gray.

"Since you don't wanna come out, I'll force you to," said Kali.

Kali stomped on the ground, several cracks appeared throughout the floor. From the near end of a corner, a chubby person with spiky green hair popped out.

"There you are, I was wondering if you were stuck in the ground or something since you wouldn't come up," Kali said to the chubby person.

Before letting him speak, Kali did the same thing to him as he did to everyone else, turned his mental age into the age of a baby.

"Gu gu gah gah," he muttered.

"Is that...is that what you did to everyone else?" Gray asked in disbelief.

"Yep."

"Will they turn back to what they were before or will they stay like this forever?"

"They'll be like that for as long as I want, whether they'll stay like that temporarily or forever is my choice to make."

"That's kind of...cruel," Gray muttered.

"Haha, magic itself is cruel Gray. The magic that we wizards can wield is made for defending ourselves and attacking people," said Kali. "But let's not talk about that, we still have to find Erza."

Not bothering to hear what else Gray had to say, Kali dashed out of the door that she made by kicking down the door with Gray trailing her.

Kali and Gray were now where the train tracks were located, in her vision, Erza was on the train tracks holding her sword looking up at Erigor who was levitating in the air.

"What's going on?" asked Gray.

"Don't move, I want to watch this scene. Just feel the air, you can tell what's going to happen," said Kali.

Kali didn't want to interrupt them, with her experience in fighting, there's a moment before a battle where the people fighting would stay still deciphering what the opponent would do and that's exactly what was happening between Erigor and Erza.

Both of them were waiting for the other one to move, whoever moves first would lose. Because they were both experienced in fighting, they're able to come up with plans to counter the other person's plans. If Erza moved first, Erigor could quickly come up with a counter to what Erza would do.

"Kali, shouldn't we go help Erza?"

"Nope, this is going to be an entertaining battle and I want to see what Erza's going to do when her opponent is thinking the same thing as her."

"When did you become a sadist?"

"What're you talking about? I've always been one."

"Huh?"
