Disappointment

Aion realized that Seris could use time magic on even living creatures… which was kind of scary… based on what he saw, she could make things work faster than they should. So, he wondered why she didn't make herself faster when they were sparring.

In any case, she helped him again when another bloodhound approached. The creature tried to dodge to the side at the last moment, and however, the attack still landed faster than the beast could move.

"It seems we can deal with them like this," Seris said.

As if the enemies had heard that, some horsemen armed with bows approached and then equipped crossbows. They were of the rapid-fire type, so they could use them with a single hand. Aion clicked his tongue when they fired faster before he could hit them.
