Chapter 49: Time Stands Still

In the darkness, a sword light slashed at Aven like a thunderbolt.

The moment he saw the sword light, Ai Wen's originally relaxed spirit instantly tensed, and he subconsciously wanted to launch a flash spell that did not require a prelude to casting.

However, the plan did not succeed, and almost at the same moment as the sword light appeared, a silver light anchored the space around him like an anchor.

"Space Anchor!"

It was Claire's voice, as if it had been rehearsed countless times, and the moment Charlotte drew his sword to attack, he cooperated with the former's attack to fix the space around Evan with a spatial anchor.

Abraham's face changed, and he was just about to assist Aven, when a rainbow light swept in the darkness, and with all kinds of energy of water, earth, wind and fire, it blocked his counterattack. Nancy made a secret move and immediately blocked Abraham's counterattack.

Although Ewen was not flustered, he understood that he was in the most disadvantageous situation when he was ambushed, and now that the space was locked, he immediately gave up fighting back, and instead flicked the pointer of the Eye of Time that was clenched in his hand.

As long as he keeps the time under control, he is invincible.

Tick!

However, the truly unexpected happened, and the time that should have been reversed moved forward at a fixed pace. Ai Wen was stunned for a moment, and he subconsciously glanced at the Eye of Time in his hand.

What kind of eye of time he was holding in his hand! It was just a most ordinary pocket watch that he usually used to check the time!

"When!?"

He subconsciously exclaimed, and then immediately found the truth of the matter. As early as when he went to Nancy's room, the moment Nancy opened the door, he fell for Nancy's illusion, so he made a fatal mistake and used the time-confirming pocket watch in his arms as the root artifact of the Eye of Time, the root of time!

Don't dare to think about it anymore, in the narrow environment of the spiral staircase, Ai Wen subconsciously rolled on the spot.

He was able to avoid Charlotte's sword light, and a black shadow appeared on the ground of the stairs, and the power of the shadow turned into vines under Catherine's control and wrapped around Aven, facing the attacks of Charlotte, Claire, and Catherine's three top masters, and the strength of Evan was also on the way.

The shadow wrapped around his ankle like a vine and pulled him to the ground, and Ai Wen fell to the ground with a thud, his eyes flashed with anger, and he calmed down when he couldn't do anything, and he used secret magic techniques such as useless spells and powerless spells regardless of consumption, and started the next spell as quickly as possible.

Another figure flashed in the darkness, and his spell was finally ready before the shadow vines could completely entangle Aven!

"Time stands still!"

Whew-

An invisible wind blew around Evan as the center, and everything around him seemed to freeze. The vines formed by the shadow energy pounced on Evan in mid-air, Charlotte's wrist twisted slightly, and the enchanted longsword slashed through the air and attacked Evan in his right hand, the tip of the sword almost touched his wrist, so that Evan could feel a tingling pain, Claire's spell was ready to be cast, and the next spell was ready to be struck, Neam was revealed in the darkness, and behind Evan Nancy's rainbow light collided with Abraham's spatial rift.

Each of them looked horrified, like Charlotte, and Evan could even see his crimson pupils rolling his eyes at a slow pace.

Time Standstill is not a temporary time in the true sense, although it is a spell of the Nine Rings Time and Space System, but its core is to let the spell caster break away from the macroscopic river of time, which is equivalent to a fish jumping out of the water from the bottom of the river in an instant, temporarily getting rid of the limitation of time.

In this process, the caster can prepare spells, attack presets, and lay them out at an incredibly fast rate relative to the recipient. However, since it is not a true static time, it is impossible for the caster to directly inflict damage on creatures in this detached space-time.

In other words, the greatest effect of this nine-ring time space spell is to buy time for the caster to lay out and get out of trouble.

But even with its many limitations, this nine-ring secret spell that involves part of the Root Law is the most terrifying weapon of counterattack. Although none of Aven's spells and moves during this time could be applied to his surroundings, he was able to use this precious time to lay out ahead of time.

He knew that this spell could not limit the number of people for long, and in the precious time he had gained, he cast two spells and one action in a row, the first was to disarm the shadow energy that was about to completely entangle him, the second was to release the flame vortex towards the four people besieging ahead, and finally and most importantly, he took out the eye of time pocket watch from his bosom.

After all this was done, the effect of time standing still was finally lifted. Evan subconsciously looked at Charlotte's crimson pupils in the dark, and at the moment when time was restored like flowing water, he saw a strange color in Charlotte's eyes.

- Can he see my movements!?

Evan was stunned, and he felt as if he had made some fatal mistake. However, before he could think clearly, the effect of time standing still was gone.

Time continued to pass, and the two spells that Even had prepared were instantly activated. The flames erupted like a whirlpool towards the few people who rushed in front of him, and at the same time, the streamer that dissolved the spell was not close to engulfing his shadow energy. Aven himself is desperate to turn the hands of the Eye of Time and use this rare opportunity to reset time.

However, at this moment, Charlotte's longsword twisted incredibly as if it had been expected, and stabbed straight into the eye of time pocket watch, and at the same time, a light flickered in the darkness, covering the surface of the shadow energy, and the effect of the spell was instantly canceled out by the touch of Aven's dissolving spell. Elle, who had been hiding on the side without making a move, seemed to have expected it, and at the same moment applied a reinforcement to the phantom tentacles.

Evan was startled, the disarming spell made him no longer able to resist the entanglement of the ghostly energy, and the ghostly image that entangled him was like a tentacle, slowing down the speed of his pointer for a moment.

It was just that moment, but it became the trigger to change the situation of the battle!

Charlotte ignored the swirls of flame and twisted the tip of her sword, grabbing the pupil-like dial in the golden dial of the Eye of Time at that moment. And the vortex of flames that was supposed to stop Charlotte was blocked by Neam's magic hand, and it was swallowed up like a long whale sucking water.

Touched by the tip of the sword, Even felt a huge force in his hand, and before he could react, the shadow energy tied him like a rope. The golden pocket watch-like eye of time fell to the ground, and Evan realized that he had completely failed in this short attack and defense.

"Stop!" Charlotte pressed the tip of her sword against Aven's chest, and Al pounced on the Eye of Time and held the golden pocket watch in her hand. Hearing his roar, Nancy and Abraham, who were still fighting, snorted coldly and stopped each other.

Avene, who was tied up like a rice dumpling, looked up at Charlotte with a bitter smile.

"Your magic eyes can see everything in the stillness of time?"
