The Primordial Record novel Chapter 753

Chapter 753 Growing Worries

Her ascent paused for a slight moment before she continued rising, the purple dot over Andar followed her and the noises from the arena entered his ears with a rush and he felt countless minor sonic booms that could barely be detected even with his enhanced perception.

Andar's internal clock resettled itself and he understood that his mother had seemingly frozen time around them.

This occurrence made Andar pause in deliberation, he knew that the act of stopping time was considered to be impossible, and what would appear as time stop to most laymen was simply the flow of time in a certain area that was slowed down to such an extent that it would appear as if time had stopped.

Depending on the proficiency of the caster, time could be slowed to a crawl or nearly a stop, but never completely and over a small area.

Whatever his mother just did had covered both of them in a bubble that would make her actions undetectable by anyone else. As far as anyone was concerned she was never near his position and the conversation he just had never happened.

Although it would seem as if time had been slowed down around him, Andar could not shake the feeling in his heart that what he had just experienced was truly Time- stop. As ridiculous as this sentiment might seem, his Meditation Art made his body and Spirit manifest an unusual sensitivity and understanding of the reality around him.

This was what informed him that although everyone considered it to be impossible, what he had experienced was a total stoppage of time. Andar had learned to trust his intuition because the fact of the matter was that his physique and talents were so powerful that it would be impossible for him to interpret all the information it was passively collecting, and the best he could do was to trust these instincts.

If that was the case it would mean either his mother was truly one of the most talented Archmages to have ever lived, he doubted that very much, or something was wrong and she had acquired power that was not her own.

The question was where and for what purpose.

"Magus Andar… excuse me Magus Andar!!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, my mind is a bit occupied with the presence of the Archmage and my upcoming test, I did not realize that something like this would happen." Andar smiled apologetically to the flustered Rank 9 Mage who had been trying to draw his attention for a while now.

Andar had been trying to process the words of his mother because his instincts had been screaming at him that something was wrong, and his perception of the outside world had been reduced to zero.

"No problem, it is as expected," Barah smiled at him and Andar tried not to grimace at the sight of a human mouth embedded in the body of a flying squid.

The Mage had shrunk her body and was floating near his head, she was not speaking loudly, and her eyes were peering intently around Andar's body as if to verify that he was unharmed. Andar could feel the touch of the monitoring spell like thousands of spiders crawling along his skin, it was very uncomfortable, but it was not her fault, he doubted that she was aware of the effects of her spell on him.
