407 Time-Frozen Ange (1/2)

Lina didn't know how to proceed in Ange's case because the situation surpassed anything she expected.

The time stopped around Ange wasn't something that a Law God in the Time Law could have done. Lina herself had advanced to Law God in the Time Law shortly after leaving the white building; the continued usage to protect Aiwai's soul and after seeing Yale's usage of the time she managed to finally reach that level.

However, she knew very well that she couldn't freeze the time to obtain a result like the one in front of her unless she did it in her own world.

Moreover, she felt that there shouldn't be someone capable of doing such a strong Time Freeze in the Dwarf Kingdom and less in a prison where Laws couldn't work.

Lina didn't know what would happen if she touched the area where the time had stopped, but she didn't dare to try for fear of harming Ange.

”You two don't move. I will contact Yale since time is his area of specialization.”

Lar and Aizu nodded as they didn't dare to act carelessly in that prison.

Lina took out a small token which had the function to communicate with others without care for the distance as long they were on the same world, and both had bound a token.

Since Yale had blocked all the royal palace, that was the only way for Lina to communicate with him, and anyway it was always good to have communication methods in case something blocked their Divine Senses.

”Yale, I have something important to tell you.”

Once Lina sent her message, Yale replied immediately.

”What a coincidence, I was about to call you too.”

Yale also had the token in his hand and was ready to call Lina, so he replied instantly without needing to look for the token.

”It is about your daughter, Ange. She...”

Lina started to speak, but Yale stopped her.

”I know. I have just found some screens displaying what happens in underground prisons. Ange is frozen in time, right? Although perceiving though those formations aren't the same that in person, I feel that the Time Law hadn't been used for this.”

After killing the king and the royal guards, Yale started to inspect the palace. He didn't have intentions to steal things rightfully belonging to the country even though no one would blame him for that given that he killed the king, but he wanted to recover the belongings of his friends.

Those in prison had lost all their belongings, and most of them were kept by people in the royal palace, at least the valuable items were all there.

Yale's Divine Eyes were perfect for identifying the stolen objects, so he collected them while inspecting the whole palace.

While inspecting, he found a big room filled with screens displaying captive people and he even saw someone being tortured by water and fire.

The tortures weren't at the same time in all the cells because it would lessen the enjoyment of those looking at them, so at every moment there was someone suffering.

Yale didn't reach that room in time of seeing Julie's state and the rest of people captive there weren't in a bad state as her, but a lot of them were still in a state that they were almost living corpses.

Among all the screens, Yale quickly found Shirk, Driwna, and Ange. The first two were a bit bad, but thanks to their powerful bodies obtained from eh Dragon Bloodline, they weren't in a dangerous situation. After all, their scales were resistant to fire and given their rank they wouldn't be drowned by not breathing one minute.

Yale had been worried by Ange when he saw the state of some prisoners, especially since Ange only practiced the Magus Path, so her body wasn't too resistant. Moreover, she wasn't strong mentally either, so Yale feared about mental damage.

However, he never expected that she was frozen in time, and Yale felt that she was frozen in time just after being sent to the cell.

Thus, he was about to call Lina to tell her about Ange, but both of them had the idea at the same time.

”What should I do?”

Lina didn't dare to risk taking a decision without hearing Yale first because the one frozen in time was Yale's daughter. Although given the standards of their families, Ange would barely qualify due to her incomplete inheritance, Lina knew that Yale cared about her.

”Touch the area frozen in time, and it will disappear. This kind of freezing hasn't been created with the Time Essence. It had been created by the interference with our timeline from the Timeless Border. Moreover, I am sure that the one who did it is a Timeless Sovereign, probably the one self-called Mysterious Expert. I don't know that person's true identity, but I feel that the freezing was created to protect Ange.”
