At that moment, the alchemical golems that Friel was just about to attack also turned around, its cold, glinting blade slashing toward her.
Seeing this scene, Is revealed a smug smile.
In the emergency, Friel raised both her claws and caught the blade with her bare hands.
However, the alchemical golems possessed immense strength and pressed down hard. The alchemical golems blocked by her dragon tail behind her also reacted, stabbing its single blade toward Friel's back.
Friel gritted her teeth; this blow would be enough to give her a hard time.
At this critical moment, Jona Velli slightly opened her mouth.
"Eternity."
With her as the center, an ice-blue clock face rapidly expanded, and everything nearby was pressed with a pause button.
Feeling the mana in her body rapidly consuming, Jona Velli did not delay. She quickly rushed to Friel's side and grabbed the alchemical puppet's head with both claws.
With a flick of her dragon claw, she threw it toward Is not far away.
With a thought, the time freeze ended. Is still had a smile on his face, but the two alchemical automata rushing toward him magnified infinitely in his eyes.
'What's going on?'
Just as the thought arose, Is had already lost consciousness.
Seeing herself suddenly out of trouble, Friel looked at Jona Velli angrily.
"What are you doing?! This was my prey!"
Facing Friel, who had turned hostile on the spot, Jona Velli was not surprised.
"Wake up, Friel. If it wasn't for me, you'd be dead meat~"
As she spoke, Jona Velli even tilted her head and stuck out her big pink tongue, pretending to be dead.
Jona Velli was telling the truth; with the attack power of those alchemical automata, Friel's dragon scales definitely wouldn't have held up.
"You!...You..."
Although Friel was angry, she knew very well that Jona Velli was telling the truth.
"Even if I was killed, that would be my fate!"
"Don't be so angry."
Just after speaking, Jona Velli snapped her fingers. Ice-blue magic circles appeared beneath the two automata as they stood up, freezing them in place on the spot.
But this was only temporary; given their strength, it wouldn't be long before they broke free.
Seeing this scene, Friel's dragon eyes narrowed.
'This Jona Velli has grown stronger again!'
Although she was surprised in her heart, she gave a cold snort on the surface and flicked her dragon tail, flying toward the White Crystal City.
Looking at the back of the sulking girl, Jona Velli shook her head.
"It seems I'll be in trouble for a while again."
Then, she turned her head to look at the already cracked ice crystals. With a flap of her dragon wings, she landed in front of them.
A white dragon claw reached out, piercing into the core hub of an alchemical golems.
A mana barrier resisted Jona Velli's dragon fingers, emitting bursts of white light.
Seeing this, Jona Velli grinned with her dragon mouth.
"Interesting, but... not much."
The muscles on her arm bulged. As Jona Velli exerted force, her sharp claws pierced in ruthlessly. The mana circuits on the alchemical golems's body glowed with white light, and the ice crystals shattered layer by layer.
