The helpless flailing soon stopped.
However, as soon as it did, a black magic circle appeared on the ground, from which dark hands emerged, latching onto Seventeen.
She couldn't even react and was caught completely off guard.
The fake maidservant, however, wielded the same element, so she knew how to counter [Dark Grip].
Her body suddenly turned jet black, mysteriously forcing the dark hands to let go.
Hal was naturally shocked by the method she used.
However, it seemed that Seventeen's movement speed had suffered as a result of the change, allowing him to place one of his new spells, [Chrono Trap], on the ground just in time.
The moment Seventeen returned to her human form, she suddenly froze.
She couldn't even speak—nothing.
She could only stare blankly into the distance, frozen in time.
This brief moment of helplessness became her last, as, with a ruthless glint in his eyes, Hal pointed two fingers at Seventeen, a golden magic circle materializing at his fingertips.
