Waving his hand up and down, Athen confirmed that it was incorporeal by watching it simply phase through the red carpet below.
"So...they are different?"
Though they had the same color, the purple hue surrounding Athen's hand right now made it spirit-like and able to phase through objects.
But, before activating his time-stopping ability, his hand had just been normal, despite being surrounded by the same purple hue.
Putting that aside, Athen rushed forward at Professor Caldris's frozen figure with his fist already raised high.
Making sure not to phase directly through the professor's body and risk merging, Athen made a detour around until he was finally facing Caldris's back.
At that moment, the purple hue surrounding his figure started to flicker.
However, the purple hue surrounding Athen's hand remained solid and purple.
