Whoosh!
At the very moment the young man uttered those words, it was as if time around them had frozen.
The shards making up the dark barrier were still there, giving Valyr a faint semblance of the protection he had earlier.
On top of that, the projectiles hidden within the golden light surrounding him could now be seen, their insidious fangs more than visible to the naked eye.

Yet, no matter how much he tried, his attack remained frozen in place.
Shifting his gaze at Valyr, the man faintly wondered whether his opponent had the ability to manipulate time.
Fortunately for him, that was not the case.
However…
What Valyr could manipulate might possibly be far worse than that.
Swoosh!
