Intruder

As the shadowy figure approached Varian, a small globule of light squirmed in the air sneaking behind the uninvited guest.

He raised his arm and condensed a spinning hourglass. It's an attack no one in the alliance had seen. But if the Jai scholars were to witness it, they'd exclaim in shock and beg for a chance to study.

This was one of the legendary chrono arts that vanished with the Heaven Tribe.

<Stealing Time>

A mystic art that stole the time of the opponent, rendering them unable to move for that period.

It's an advanced art compared to the simple <Stopping > or <Slowing > the time of an enemy that's often used by the time awakeners of Jai.

<Stealing Time> was lost but the remnants of it inspired many techniques in the empire.

Once hit by this art, Varian would be a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of the intruder.

'You're so dead.' The being whispered in its own mind and shot the attack.
