How do you say "in time"? I wanted to tell someone to escape so they don't waste their time waiting for me to beat a boss. (When their death timer reaches 0, they don't get credit for beating the boss, and my dps is slow...) I said , but I wasn't sure if it actually means: "I won't arrive in time to beat the boss" or if I did it right or wrong. What I want to say is ", Please escape, I won't be able to beat the boss in time" or "Please escape, I won't be able to beat the boss before your timer runs out."

* If there is an official Japanese word or a common Japanese colloquialism used to refer to the time in game, replace with that word.

* literally means "time is up"
* Volitional Form + is a grammar expresses that there is little observable evidence that something will happen. By combining this with the potential form of we get "I do not think I can defeat ", where you and the enemy are both contextually implied.
* I elected **not** to use because the words necessary to make a sentence using would for a slightly longer sentence, which I assumed you would rather not use. Refer to the example below:
