Seeing reinforcements arrive, the despairing Klauth was suddenly invigorated. Somehow finding the strength, he flung Godzilla away again! Then, with the air of someone risking his life, he prepared to take off once more.
But at that moment, a gray barrier instantly enveloped the entire rooftop plaza—"Time Stop"!
It was Solam! Solam had continuously used divine scrolls and his regenerative abilities to repair his injuries with all his strength. Finally, just as the red dragon was about to take flight, he endured the burning agony in his lungs and forced open the "Time Stop" barrier.
"Violette! Kill it!" As soon as Solam erected the Time Stop barrier, he shouted at Violette! Violette was a divine creation, naturally immune to "Time Stop."
The moment she saw the Time Stop barrier, Violette knew that Solam's safety was guaranteed during its duration. Since that was the case, she could temporarily leave Solam's side while time was stopped.
She nodded at Solam, then flashed to Klauth's side. First, she cast the fifth-circle spell "Lower Resistance," followed by "Disaster" and "Ray of Enfeeblement"! Then she unleashed the seventh-circle elemental spells "Ice Storm," "Grandi Icepeak Spear," and "Freezing Slash." (All of these spells dealt ice damage, which was especially effective against red dragons, and they also had powerful freezing effects. Once frozen, the red dragon's resistance would be reduced even further.)
Finally came the ninth-circle necromancy spell, "Power Word: Kill"!
And just as she finished all of that, time resumed.
The instant the gray barrier vanished and time returned to normal, the spells she had cast struck Klauth one after another. First came three resistance-reducing spells, immediately lowering the red dragon's innate resistance to an extremely low level. Then came three freezing damage spells, instantly encasing the red dragon in ice.
Finally came "Power Word: Kill"!
