Time Stop!
Leon stopped time as Iris' powerful beam attack was about to disintegrate both him and Alphox.
The world turned grey around them as the massive wave of energy froze inches away from his face, the heat of it still palpable even in the frozen moment.
Leon knew that pets couldn't truly die permanently, even from fatal injuries, but what happened to a pet if it was literally disintegrated to a crisp by such a powerful attack was a question that he didn't have the answer to.
Would it still be alive afterward in any meaningful way? And if so, just how long would it take for it to heal and recover from such a devastating wound that erased its physical form?
That was something Leon couldn't afford to find out through experimentation, so he stopped time without any hesitation to save his pet from that fate.
"Kaaaa~"
