So Shard held the sword in his right hand and reached for the small silver women's pocket watch in his left pocket, staring straight at Emilia:
"Adel's Time Stasis!"
Clack~
"Hmm? Where did that sound come from?"
In the gusty night wind, a sound abruptly rang out. Shard looked around in astonishment, having distinctly heard the ticking of a clock's hand. He had never experienced such a phenomenon while spellcasting before.
At that moment, Emilia had frozen solid like a living sculpture beside Shard. The power of "Time Stasis" remained time stasis, even if enhanced. Thus, the greatest effect of using this sword for spellcasting was actually a reduction in the spirit consumed.
Emilia was undeniably a genuine Five-Ring Sorceress, and due to her lineage, might possess a degree of time resistance, but even so, Shard felt that if he continued to freeze Emilia for another minute, he could manage to hold on.
