After waiting two minutes, the Red Beast slowly emerged from the murky seawater, revealing a perplexed growl in its eyes, "Monarch, why, why, did you hit me?"
The Thunderflame Emperor Dragon's voice, deep and booming, roared, "It's nothing, I just noticed you were a bit distracted, just a little something to perk you up."
After about a minute, the Red Beast slowly responded with an 'oh'.
As for the 'slowness' of this guy in a non-combat state, even the Thunderflame Emperor Dragon couldn't do anything about it, or maybe this was the price of touching upon the flow of time prematurely under the laws of myth.
This was different from when he encountered the Deep Sea Giant Python, where the 'slowness of time' was actually an effect of the discrepancy in perception caused by their toxin energy.
This was why the Sword Armor Beast, when it burst forth with Agility Talent, wasn't affected then.
