This was how Matteo had won her earlier matches.
Her first soul skill, despite coming from a mere ten-year spirit soul, was exceptionally effective. It directly restrained her opponents and left them helpless.
However, its limitations were just as clear. Once used, it required a cooldown of twenty seconds before it could be activated again.
On a real battlefield, she would likely only get one chance.
Alfred began silently counting the seconds Ray was trapped. If the prison held for ten seconds, the match would be over.
In the first match, Matteo had won this way. In the second, her opponent had fared even worse.
The moment he tried to escape, the stone prison formed too quickly. He had been launched skyward by a rising pillar, saved from crippling injury only because Alfred caught him mid-fall.
Ray had no intention of risking that outcome.
He remained still, letting the prison close around him.
"Ten…" Alfred began counting aloud, his voice flat and emotionless.
