And at the moment when Annan struck Justin.

Or - when the hammer touched the back of Justin's hand, all the books in the study suddenly trembled.

Justin, on the other hand, felt a familiar and intense chill again.

His skin suddenly tightened.

It's like the whole person suddenly puts on tights.

It's a control spell!

Justin's brain immediately realized the problem.

But his body couldn't react at all—

I saw an invisible aura centered on Justin and suddenly spread.

The whole study, all the books, documents, newspapers.

When swept by that aura, it was as if he had been brought to life at the same time.

- [Page Lock]!

The words on all the Carriers of Knowledge wriggle like dense insects, embedded in the pure flow of light, and become fine, mosquito-like bones.

And countless streams of light formed a dense chain of light, sweeping in from all directions, capturing Justin's body in an instant!

His right hand is still in a forward grip position. His knees were strained, the muscles in his body were still bulging, and his fleshy face was hideous. His feet stood on tiptoe and kicked the stool backwards with strength, and the whole person was frozen in the air by the chains in a dynamic hunting posture!

The chains wrapped around him several times and nailed into his body. They were like electric lights, injecting hundreds of parallel books of knowledge into Justin's brain at the same time.

"Ahhhh

Gathering in the middle of the myriad streams of light, Justin let out a roar of extreme pain, his eyes fluttering violently.

His eyes were instantly bloodshot and turned red. Blood quickly spilled from his eyes, ears, nose, and nose, the muscles of his head bulged high and creaked, and his skin burst out with dark purple marks.

However, it was not possible to break free.

Crunch crunch crunch –

Sensing that Justin was trying to break free, the chains began to tighten immediately.

The intense pain weakened his body, and the heavy knowledge seized his body.

Justin wasn't defenseless.

He used his hole cards at the first time.

Two of the three bronze rings on the finger of his right hand lit up.

One of them was a spell he received after hunting a female wizard.

[Pain loss]!

The content of the spell is very simple - after using it, you can completely lose the sense of pain and touch like her, no matter how torture and torture you endure, you will not be moved in the slightest.

It was only after activating the spell that Justin felt his brain, numbed by the severe pain, finally wake up somewhat......

And the second spell he released could get him out of trouble!

It comes from one of the "gladiators" whom Justin once killed with a backstabbing.

His combat power is incomparably stronger, even stronger than Justin's, and he is almost impossible to fight against in a head-on battle......

——[Out of the Trap]!

This is a spell that can only be used when you are trapped, and the cost is to be bound and break free once a week, otherwise the bones and muscles will jump directly out of the skin.

Its ability is the life-saving ability that can expand its strength several times when it is tested for "breaking through difficulties" and the like!

Ignore the pain. The ability to break free of control. and his own perpetual motion stamina. Plus a third spell that isn't used for a while - it can be used once a month to restore injuries to a second ago during the NDE.

It's what he uses to counter the wizards' bizarre instant death abilities.

That's the system of abilities Justin has put together for himself.

Justin thinks that his set of abilities will definitely not fall behind any transcendent of the same level-

"Looks like I'm going to die......"

Justin, who had regained his senses, whispered to Annan with a dark face.

His seven orifices were still bleeding, but he didn't feel pain anymore.

I saw that under Justin's skin, thick blood vessels squirmed back and forth like worms. The muscles turned crimson at a rate visible to the naked eye, steaming with a faint white mist.

"Heh......"

He let out a soft snort, slowly exerting his strength.

The next moment, the chains began to vibrate.

The books in the entire room began to burst into cracks.

It was the newspaper that first cracked.

Like cracked earth, deep marks were made on the newspapers, and the cracks began to burn slowly like ashes.

Although Annan can't see it, the same thing must be happening inside the book......

After all, Alvin Barber was just a viscount. This is only his estate, not his viscount's palace.

The knowledge recorded in the books in this study cannot be so secret. And it is entirely possible for the rune locks that are not secret enough to be quickly broken free......

But Annan had already expected this.

Before the [Page Lock] was broken free by Justin's brute force, Annan was already standing in front of him, and let out a soft whisper:

"—sleep."

A dim light flashed in Annan's eyes.

It was Annan's instant spell, the Eye of Laziness!

Justin, who was directly imprinted with a strong "lazy" mood by Annan, subconsciously stagnated for a moment of physical strength, and his "full struggle" was interrupted.

Although he was very witty, the moment his consciousness became sluggish, he canceled the "pain loss".

Under the intense impact of pain, this slack was disintegrated in an instant.

But a split second of control is enough.

Even if Justin immediately regained consciousness the next moment, the chains of light that had begun to shake and become crumbling had already regained strength the moment Justin's ability to "struggle with all his might" was interrupted.

"Uhhhh

Justin let out another scream, and his chains were tightly bound again.

This time, there was no chance of Justin escaping.

As Annan's body burst out of frost, an irresistible cold seeped into his body.

Annan was very skillful and renewed the new control. Soon Justin stopped struggling completely.

But Annan didn't intend to finish him off with the Wheel of Frost.

Although it might be cool to use the strongest ability as a finishing move......

However, Annan is always very cautious when he does the right thing.

The Frost Wheels at this distance have no starting distance and are not very powerful. And it's entirely possible to let Justin escape by wrecking the bookshelf......

So Annan opened his satchel.

Removed the blood-dripping kitchen knife.

The spell on his wrist had been untied, and the black mud had once again burned onto his arm, forming an abstract and tortuous pattern of broken swords.

- The Butcher's Blade has been activated.

"You...... I caught it. ”

Annan smiled and looked at Justin, who was frozen in mid-air with a hunting posture.

But his eyes were still pure and clean, and his ice-blue pupils were full of smiles and smugness.

His heart was full of excitement and joy of defeating a strong enemy.

He didn't care about Justin's backstory, how many innocent people he had killed, how much hatred he carried, and who the transcendents he hunted......

Because Annan is honest.

He was just happy that he had defeated this powerful enemy.

He knew he wasn't Justin who killed because of those people. Of course, if the families of those people had appeared in front of Annan first, he might have accepted the task of "avenging them" out of compassion and sympathy.

But at least for now, Annan only assassinated Justin in order to be able to kill the viscount and get out of the way.

Therefore, Annan believes that this killing intent comes from his own selfish desires.

This is called one yard to one yard.

- Yes, he has no hatred for Justin, but he also has no guilt.

It's just like a child tearing down the wings of a butterfly, and the heart is filled with pure pleasure.

What to do if you hate a monster? What if a monster wants to attack itself? What to do with a monster guarding a treasure chest?

- Kill him if you can.

Players will answer like this.

But even those real players who have entered this world cannot continue to hold this pure player mentality after seeing this real world.

Monsters who act for fun, regardless of hardships, costs, and fearlessness...... They can't.

Because they're starting to care about the game, the world.

But Annan ......

- Annan is fearless.

Therefore, Annan believes that he alone is the real and only player in this world......

"I'll give you a good time, Brother Justin."

Annan gave a final salute to Justin very politely, and raised the blood-dripping boning knife in his hand: "The rest ...... It's not my responsibility. ”
