An Eternal Dilemma

Upon hearing that, Benjamin was stunned.

A bad premonition surged into his heart, and once again, he subconsciously struggled, trying to move his limbs or to cast magic. The result, however, was the same: He was unable to do anything. Even the water elemental sensing technique seemed to be completely lost at this point. He could not even smell the water elements.

Other than his mental faculties, everything else belonging to him had been frozen, as though… Someone had stripped time away from him, turning him into a small character fixed upon an oil painting.

"What on earth is going on here?" He hurriedly asked the System.

"I have no clue either… Haven't I told you not to make such a big hoo hah out of all this?" The System said impatiently, "Even the intangible form is not available. I've tried it the moment you got stuck. There's no use at all."

...Could this be?

Benjamin's heart grew almost cold, as he stood frozen in place.
