Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 179 Time Stops
"Om-"

A continuous sharp buzzing sound was heard in the cave. The remaining bulbous monsters were surrounded by red light, and the largest leader was covered in a dazzling red light.

Sefar, who was hiding in the dark, felt a fatal threat. He knew that his spell had exposed his position. Just as he was about to teleport to avoid the attack, the power of psychic energy had already manifested.

Eighth-ring psychic power——[Experience Death]!
The entire cave was covered in red light, and a constant buzzing sound echoed in the stagnant air. Sefar felt an extreme sense of threat coming from his heart.

The next moment, Sefar's skin turned as blue as a dead person's. He exhaled lightly, and the cold air condensed into mist in the air.

He is about to die. The psychic power has modified his life characteristics, and he will be transformed from a living person to a dead person in an instant.

At the critical moment, the magic ring on the middle finger of Sefar's left hand lit up, and a square barrier rose around him.

That is the natural enemy of instant death spells - the fourth-ring magic [Anti-Death Barrier].

Perhaps the spiritual energy released by the group of bulbous monsters was too powerful, and cracks kept appearing on the ring on Sefar's left hand.

The red light lasted for about three seconds and then disappeared. The ring in Sefar's hand had burned to ashes, but fortunately it blocked the power of [Experience Death].

"Damn it!"

The bulbous monster didn't seem to expect that this attack failed to kill its prey. The enhanced eight-ring psychic energy caused it to fall into a temporary state of stiffness. Having regained his freedom, Sefar cursed inwardly and quickly began to prepare to cast a spell.

Nine-ring transformation spell——[Time Stop]!
As the spell was completed, a green light flashed across Sefar's body, and Sefar immediately felt that the reaction speed of his nerves had accelerated to an incredible level, countless times faster than [Advanced Swift Burst].

Everything around him stopped in his eyes, and Sefar could even see the dust floating in the air.

This is one of the two crowns in the transformation spells along with [Shape Change]. At this moment, Sefar's speed is infinitely close to the speed of light. Although the time in the real world has not stopped, for him as a reference system, his speed is almost to the point where time has stopped.

Sefar snorted coldly, walked up to the leader monster, and clenched the staff in his hand.

"You're just a monster. Do you think you can do anything with just a little bit of psychic power?"

The experience of almost dying just now made Sefar, a good man, extremely angry. He pointed his staff at the monster in front of him and kept chanting spells.

Seventh-ring transmutation spell——[Delayed Explosive Fireball]!
After reciting the spell once, Sefar repeated it twice more until three fireballs as big as washbasins were suspended beside the leader monster, then he quickly ran to the edge of the cave.

[Time Stop] is powerful, but it is not without its drawbacks. Once Sefar has any physical contact with the real world, it will cause a change in the reference system, thus ending [Time Stop].

Simply put, during the period when time is stopped, the caster cannot attack the enemy.

Therefore, Sefar cannot use more powerful spells to kill the boss monster instantly, and can only use delayed spells to deal with the opponent. When the effect of [Time Stop] fades, the delayed spell that has been ambushed will erupt immediately, leaving the enemy no time to react.

The [Delayed Explosive Fireball] is the most powerful delayed spell.

The next moment, when the green light on Sefar disappeared, his nerves returned to normal again. A feeling of sluggishness instantly made him feel that his brain became turbid. This was the sequelae that would definitely be experienced after exiting the state of [Time Stop], because normal creatures simply could not have a nerve reaction speed comparable to the speed of light. After experiencing that feeling, the brain nerves of ordinary people would immediately feel uncomfortable, and even produce symptoms such as nausea and vomiting.

This is how Sefar felt at the moment, but it was all worth it, because when time started flowing again, the delayed burst fireball he had ambushed in advance exploded.

"Boom boom boom!" The horrific explosion was reflected in the leader's frightened eyes. The deafening noise instantly tore apart all the tranquility.

Three consecutive explosions covering an area of ​​50 meters in radius almost swallowed up everything around them. The shock waves brought by the explosions instantly rolled up the dust and rubble accumulated in the cave, as if an invisible hand suddenly stirred a pool of still water. The stalactites on the stone wall were shaking and making ding-dong sounds, like panicked notes.

The temperature in the cave surged with the explosion, and the heat wave was rolling, as if even the air was burning. The firelight illuminated everything in the cave, reflecting Shana's terrified face beside the pile of rocks. Fortunately, she hid far away, otherwise she would be doomed.

The smoke from the explosion filled the air, and the choking dust made people cough. When the smoke cleared, the terrifying bulbous leader was gone, along with the little monsters that had crawled out of the ground.

"Cough cough cough cough cough. Teacher, what happened? Why were all these monsters suddenly blown to death?" Shana took out a silk scarf and wiped the black dust off her face while coughing.

Sefar stroked his beard and smiled calmly, "This ugly thing just tried to kill me instantly with the instant death spell. I was so angry that I used [Time Stop] directly."

The red dragon, who had regained consciousness due to the death of the monsters, licked his lips, feeling a little embarrassed. He had originally said that he was fine, but was instantly controlled by the monsters.

That feeling was so frightening. He could clearly hear, see, and even smell everything in the outside world, but his body was out of control and he could only stand there blankly.

These monsters are a little too evil!

When Shanai heard what Sefar said, her eyes lit up and she said, "Time Stop?! Is that the ultimate spell of the Transmutation System? The pearl of the Nine Rings Spell, and the Time Stop, which is considered one of the two most powerful spells along with the [Wish Spell]?!"

"Teacher!" Shana immediately knelt on the ground excitedly and shouted to Sefar: "You must teach me this spell in the future! Being able to learn [Time Stop] is the ultimate ideal for a transmuter like me!"

Sefar twitched his eyes as he looked at the excited Shana. His apprentice was good in every way except that he was so excited when he saw the rare transformation spell that he forgot everything.

"I understand. You can consider this matter when you reach level 17. Now, find me any remaining clues." Saifar said.

So the three of them searched the cave ruins for a while, and left after finding nothing. Although they found nothing, they killed the culprit who destroyed the advance army, and Sefar could report to Boris.

What they didn't know was that after they left, a woman with a seductive appearance and revealing clothes like a black pearl walked out from the ripples that suddenly appeared in the air.

He looked at everything around him quietly, with the corners of his mouth curled up.

"Interesting, has anyone else discovered these monsters? The ones we caught before are enough for the ritual, so it looks like we need to start preparing."

"People from the foreign continent are so stupid. Your presence can't change anything!"

There was vicious cruelty in the woman's emerald eyes. She put on a beautiful smile, swayed her waist, stepped into the ripples again and disappeared.

　The working principle of time stop is to accelerate itself, thereby achieving the effect of time stop.

　　Otherwise, if time really stopped, it would be too much of a bug. With so many characters in the universe who are immune to time stopping, wouldn't they be able to feel that time suddenly stopped around them at any time?

　　Of course, the Time Stone in the future will not be so low. For those characters who are immune to time stop, they will be tortured like Dormammu when facing the Time Stone.
