Niken stopped time on the entire floor, making Scarlet along with Hiro and the bleeding beasts stop. The only ones who could move asides from Niken were Kazuto and Richard.
Hiro should also be able to move within Niken's time zone due to his magic energy. However, he had placed a magic restriction within his body so that the current state of his strength was not that different from an ordinary Elementalist.
"Niken? Why did you stop time?" Richard was perplexed by Niken's sudden decision to use her powers even though they were not needed.
Not only Richard but Kazuto was puzzled as well. He tried to figure out what his inamorata thinks when he noticed something blocked his mind-linking with the girl.
Who did it? Kazuto asked Alpha to find out if something or someone hindered him from reaching out to his inamorata, but he found nothing.
"Brother, can you help me to save them?"
"Save them? Who?"
"These poor creatures."
