Chapter 257 - Thirty-Two: The Collision of Worlds
In the surface layer of the Dream World, Hall, with brown hair and golden eyes, holding a pure black great sword, leaned against a light purple Moon Tree with his eyes closed, resting his mind.
He had actually noticed the sudden appearance of the foreigner earlier, but chose not to interfere with it in any way.
Because the content of the trial was not his concern, he was only responsible for preventing external disturbances and ensuring that no accidents or casualties befell the Trialists.
Just as Anvis and the others were answering the final question, a small Dream World shrouded in grey mist suddenly appeared from the void of space outside the world.
It was not until the approaching small blurry world from the depths of the Dream Space was mere seconds away that Hall finally noticed it, and his expression suddenly changed drastically.
His hands grasped the hilt of his sword, and he immediately raised his blade, prepared to alter its trajectory by creating a super large-scale spatial deflection, thus forcibly preventing it from colliding with the Trial World.
But as he was about to make his slash, a phantom of an hourglass suddenly flashed through the void. A pitch-black domain appeared out of nowhere, swiftly engulfing him within it.
Ninth Rank Rule Magic—[Time Freeze]
This was a one-time-use Mysterious Object made with the precious Time Sand, a special material formed with great difficulty by Ninth Rank Limit powerhouses using Rule Power, capable of maintaining this time-stopped domain for one minute.
However, Hall was an old Ninth Rank after all. After various resistances weakened the effect, the duration the domain could bind him was reduced by nine-tenths, which is to say, around six seconds.
