Can Thorn Bind Hostage be delayed from taking effect on its target after it is cast? Does the Light Novel material say anything about this?

In the fight between Nyanta and Demikas, Nyanta delayed his final attack on Demikas for 14 seconds, in order to allow Shiroe to cast Thorn Bind Hostage on Demikas a second time. If the cast time is 2 seconds, then Thorn Bind Hostage would have bound Demikas immediately and then the cooldown timer would start. However, in both the anime and manga, the roots don't appear until Nyanta is ready to strike.
