Although Nameless had no idea what the Transcender who devised the rule had been thinking, the Ancient Eye-Cutting Frozen Light Technique had probably started out as a death freeze.
In battle, when one side killed the other, the immediate area would freeze, as though time had stopped there.
If a boxer punched another boxer's brain apart, the instant it burst, time and space across the ring would freeze. Both boxers would remain motionless for a while before everything returned to normal.
It was like a game where every character stopped moving the moment an opponent was defeated. Add the letters KO, and the scene was easy to picture.
