there is also a boss in the sequel, dawn of sorrow, who uses time slowing and freezing to fight soma. after you beat him, you get his soul which lets you stop time.
and now thinking on it, composite drac would be immune to the world thanks to that soul i mentioned. so that's another knock against him.
