Lina didn't know how to proceed in Ange's case because the situation surpassed anything she expected.

The time stopped around Ange wasn't something that a Law God in the Time Law could have done. Lina herself had advanced to Law God in the Time Law shortly after leaving the white building; the continued usage to protect Aiwai's soul and after seeing Yale's usage of the time she managed to finally reach that level.

However, she knew very well that she couldn't freeze the time to obtain a result like the one in front of her unless she did it in her own world.

Moreover, she felt that there shouldn't be someone capable of doing such a strong Time Freeze in the Dwarf Kingdom and less in a prison where Laws couldn't work.

Lina didn't know what would happen if she touched the area where the time had stopped, but she didn't dare to try for fear of harming Ange.

"You two don't move. I will contact Yale since time is his area of specialization."

Lar and Aizu nodded as they didn't dare to act carelessly in that prison.

Lina took out a small token which had the function to communicate with others without care for the distance as long they were on the same world, and both had bound a token.

Since Yale had blocked all the royal palace, that was the only way for Lina to communicate with him, and anyway it was always good to have communication methods in case something blocked their Divine Senses.

"Yale, I have something important to tell you."

Once Lina sent her message, Yale replied immediately.

"What a coincidence, I was about to call you too."

Yale also had the token in his hand and was ready to call Lina, so he replied instantly without needing to look for the token.

"It is about your daughter, Ange. She..."

Lina started to speak, but Yale stopped her.

"I know. I have just found some screens displaying what happens in underground prisons. Ange is frozen in time, right? Although perceiving though those formations aren't the same that in person, I feel that the Time Law hadn't been used for this."

After killing the king and the royal guards, Yale started to inspect the palace. He didn't have intentions to steal things rightfully belonging to the country even though no one would blame him for that given that he killed the king, but he wanted to recover the belongings of his friends.

Those in prison had lost all their belongings, and most of them were kept by people in the royal palace, at least the valuable items were all there.

Yale's Divine Eyes were perfect for identifying the stolen objects, so he collected them while inspecting the whole palace.

While inspecting, he found a big room filled with screens displaying captive people and he even saw someone being tortured by water and fire.

The tortures weren't at the same time in all the cells because it would lessen the enjoyment of those looking at them, so at every moment there was someone suffering.

Yale didn't reach that room in time of seeing Julie's state and the rest of people captive there weren't in a bad state as her, but a lot of them were still in a state that they were almost living corpses.

Among all the screens, Yale quickly found Shirk, Driwna, and Ange. The first two were a bit bad, but thanks to their powerful bodies obtained from the Dragon Bloodline, they weren't in a dangerous situation. After all, their scales were resistant to fire and given their rank they wouldn't be drowned by not breathing one minute.

Yale had been worried by Ange when he saw the state of some prisoners, especially since Ange only practiced the Magus Path, so her body wasn't too resistant. Moreover, she wasn't strong mentally either, so Yale feared about mental damage.

However, he never expected that she was frozen in time, and Yale felt that she was frozen in time just after being sent to the cell.

Thus, he was about to call Lina to tell her about Ange, but both of them had the idea at the same time.

"What should I do?"

Lina didn't dare to risk taking a decision without hearing Yale first because the one frozen in time was Yale's daughter. Although given the standards of their families, Ange would barely qualify due to her incomplete inheritance, Lina knew that Yale cared about her.

"Touch the area frozen in time, and it will disappear. This kind of freezing hasn't been created with the Time Essence. It had been created by the interference with our timeline from the Timeless Border. Moreover, I am sure that the one who did it is a Timeless Sovereign, probably the one self-called Mysterious Expert. I don't know that person's true identity, but I feel that the freezing was created to protect Ange."

Yale had some knowledge about the Mysterious expert after recovering his memories, but he still didn't know that person's true identity.

Lina also remembered the person who appeared years before and told her where to go to rescue Wyba and Aiwai and felt that if that person was the one who did it, there shouldn't be any wicked intention in freezing Ange in the Time.

She felt that the Mysterious Expert could kill them all easily, so there shouldn't be any need of resorting in low tricks.

"Then, I will do as you say. By the way, about Julie, she..."

Lina started to speak what happened to Julie, and Yale felt that maybe the Purgatory World wasn't strong enough punishment for the king, but at that moment, he was more focused in helping Julie than in punishing the dead king.

"I will go there right now. With your Water Essence and my Life Essence, we should be able to help her better."

Yale didn't think that the Time Essence would be too useful in Julie's case since the wounds were from a prolonged time and Julie had already healed her a lot with the Water Essence.

At most he could erase all the wounds by making Julie younger, but in her state, that would be bad for her mental health since her mind was broken. Anyway, the Life Law was the main law to use healing, and as long all traces of injuries were removed, the method didn't matter too much.

They stopped to speak, and Yale destroyed the room with the screens before leaving. He had almost finished inspecting the whole royal palace and the places left were on the way to the exit.

After finishing to speak with Yale, Lina walked towards Ange and touched the area where the time was stopped, and as Yale predicted, the time returned to normal.

Ange seemed to be asleep, so Lina cut the shackles on her body and dressed her. She had just given plain clothes to the rest of the girls to cover themselves, but she gave pretty ones to Ange.

In fact, those were handmade by Lina, and despite being made for being pretty more than battle-oriented, the full strike of a Sage Rank expert wouldn't have any effect on them.

Lina had mastered the Tailor Law, so her ability in making clothes was very high. Even clothes that weren't designed for battle like the ones the unconscious Ange was wearing were far better than the armors of the royal guards of the Dwarf Kingdom.

A normal Law Master wouldn't need clothes that would just block a Sage Rank, but since Ange's main weakness was her body due to not having practiced the Warrior Path properly, those clothes were extremely useful to her.

Since Ange had yet to awaken, Lina proceeded to freed Shirk and Driwna. They were just as Yale saw from the screens, and despite the mental exhaustion from their confinement, their bodies didn't have major problems.

Lina decided to wait for Yale before freeing the dead king's brother. After all, a Law God shouldn't have any problem in those cells and healing Julie was far more important.

While waiting for Yale, Ange started to wake up.

"Where am I?"

She was confused and disoriented.

"I have just rescued you from the prison. Everything is alright now."

Lina replied quickly to Ange who had just noticed that she was wearing clothes that she didn't recognize.

"Are you also the one who gave me these clothes? Who are you?"

Ange at that time also noticed that Lar, Aizu, Shirk, and Driwna were there, but they were wearing clothes that would suit a beggar while she was wearing ones that were like those of a princess, the difference was quite big.

"Yes. I made them personally. You can consider these clothes a gift. As for my identity. I am Lina, your father's girlfriend."

Aizu and Lar were battling hard to restrain their emotions since arguing would only end with them in a worse position, but Shirk and Driwna were surprised. Anyway, since Lina seemed powerful and had saved them, they had a good impression of her and didn't feel that it was wrong that she was Yale's girlfriend.

Ange was shocked by Lina's declaration, and Lina even feared that Ange would despise her because something like that she would never accept that woman who wasn't her dead mother was together with Yale or something like that.

However, Ange jumped to Lina and hugged her before asking with a pretty smile on her face.

"Then, are you my new mother?"
