"You were supposed to protect her, so your excuse is pathetic," Iris stated, her voice cold, her piercing gaze locking onto Eva, who trembled uncontrollably.
"Please, the system wouldn't let me intervene until she awakened!" Eva pleaded, still on her knees before Iris, her hands clasped in desperation. She knew every word mattered.
"Hmph. Annoying bastard," Iris muttered, clicking her tongue in disdain, referring to the system that bound Eva's actions.
"Your power is time magic, correct?" Iris asked, her tone sharp.
She raised her head to look at Iris, "Y-Yes, but due to certain restrictions, I can't use it freely. If I could, I would've undone this mess already," Eva replied, her voice quivering nervously.
Iris's expression softened slightly, though her eyes remained hard. "Then I'll grant you the power to wield your time magic at its full strength—three times."
Eva's jaw dropped. "You can do that?!"
"Yes," Iris said calmly, a faint smirk tugging at her lips.
