He used the power of Lore and Tell-Tale to help Hazen, healing his injuries before making him regain consciousness.
"Yes," Hazen nodded, "You underestimated Zaira, Compass. She had used Martial's incompetence to fool you. Him being a pseudo-Host to the Waning Essence System wasn't the end goal of plan, but just the start…"
Hazen said in despair, "Her goal wasn't to eventually turn the Murim worlds into a farm by fully turning Martial into a host. No, her true intention was to use the Murim worlds as fuel and pour all their timelines into Martial once he fell victim to your Genre Representation."
"Thereby, it resulted in a time dilation."
