Climbing the Tower with Time-Stop Ability

‘You, what are you? How does a mere Lesser Being wield power like this?’

After thrashing about for a while, the creature finally turned the question on me.

I didn’t really have an answer.

If he asked how something I’d just been able to do since birth worked, how would I know.

So I turned it back on him.

‘And you? What are you?’

What was the identity of this being that had hijacked my body?

Looking back at what had happened just moments ago, trying to figure out how this had even occurred…

It seemed pretty clear that touching that ice gem, the item called the Heart of the Frigid Demon King, was what had triggered all this.
