The next moment, a sentence came to Annan's mind.

It is what the old grandmother said in the dragon language...... Just hearing this, Annan felt that his health was rapidly declining.

...... the word "winter" was born before the birth of the four seasons, and even more so before the birth of light and fire. It was originally used to describe the stillness of the heavenly vault like a dying old man when the earth was first born; and the earth's hatred of all that is not passing away......"

- That's it.

Annan had already lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, his health was at a precarious level. The interior of the Frost Tower is covered with an extremely beautiful layer of frost.

And the two-and-a-half-sentence "secret of creation" that Annan heard before was firmly engraved in Annan's heart.

“…… Say what with a straight face, let me fight by myself, what is the determination and what do you want......"

But it's not like I've stuffed a bunch of good stuff in private.

Annan muttered quietly.

Obtained the influence of the highest level of Frost Realm.

I got a gift from my grandmother again.

…… Next, the ceremony will officially begin.

Annan placed the corpses of the transcendents that had already been transported around him according to the twelve o'clock of the clock.

They all lie flat with their faces up and palms down. Their hair had already been shaved clean by Annan's own hands, and their bald heads were gathered in a circle and leaned against Annan's feet.

Annan took out the spell that Kaphni had made for Annan, "Ice Cubes with Light".

It looked like an oval ice grain the size of a grape, and it looked like a light bulb, but it wasn't too harsh, and it was about the same level of light as the table lamps used by the students.

They are stored in a small women's lantern with a white silk shade and even embroidered patterns, and the main body is made of openwork sterling silver and finely polished crystal.

This is Kaphne's favorite lantern...... It is also the lone lamp that she lit behind her when she killed someone as a "shadow demon".

When Annan's hand rested on the lampshade, he could even feel a hint of warmth. That's the light heat left behind by the light when it hits the lampshade. If it weren't for the fact that Annan's perception attribute was very high now, he might not have been able to detect the difference between this and the room temperature even in the cold Frost Tower.

And when Annan came into contact with the ice, he felt a very obvious cold feeling.

- That's a kind of "adsorption".

It's like licking a metal railing in the winter, or touching dry ice with your hands...... Just a little lighter than that feeling.

But if ordinary people come into contact with this ice, there is a high probability that they will also get frostbitten.

Is it colder than ordinary ice that stores light?

It is in a container made of crystal, but it does not melt at room temperature.

But the moment Annan's hand grasped it, white smoke immediately steamed.

Annan gently placed it under the corpse's tongue and closed it so that it would not be light.

The corpses of the transcendents who had been frozen in the freezer for a long time showed a bluish and pale color on their skin. Not to mention the body temperature, it is even extremely cold on its own.

But even so, when the "lighted ice" is not stored in a transparent container, it will gradually begin to melt.

Annan, on the other hand, stood in the middle of all the corpses with his eyes closed, his face calmly maintaining his natural breathing.

The torrential rain outside the house still continues.

The rolling clouds gradually gathered and became more and more depressed.

People who had been traveling had already returned to their homes, and the torrential rain was rattling through the city.

With Annan's current mana pool, it is not difficult to maintain a "mind like rain" for a long enough time. And it was supposed to rain on Noah, and Annan just added some ingredients.

But this also makes it completely invisible under the sky.

The Tower of Frost was pitch black.

Annan stood extremely quietly in the center, motionless. And as he breathed, the twelve "ice cubes sealed with light" continued to shine.

The supreme influence he possessed was like the eye of the storm, attracting the mana from the surrounding heaven and earth far away.

The incomparably cold mana continued to gather from the Frost Tower and the torrential rain outside. Some of it was inhaled into Annan's body, and some of it was submerged in the corpse at his feet.

- The light hidden in the body could not penetrate the restraints of the corpse, and the corpse gradually became glass-like, transparent and shining.

"Old Grandmother [Ligretto] ......"

Annan whispered the old grandmother's real name.

As he chanted, the power of frost seeped from Annan's side.

The skin of Annan and the corpses gradually formed a thin layer of frost at the same time. Even Annan's heartbeat became extremely sluggish...... He felt a cold force constantly transforming his lungs, trachea, and nasopharynx.

With great difficulty, he opened his mouth and recited Mr. Yao's real name: "Bode...... Shelter me ......"

"—I can hear you, the crane...... Is there something wrong? ”

Some familiar voices sounded in Annan's heart: "It's [Winter Chill], right?

"I'll help you."

The next moment, an incomparably brilliant, brilliant golden glow bloomed from the Annan body.

He was covered with ice on the outside and light on the inside.

Like a "block of ice sealed with light".

And the twelve hours, the twelve months, and the twelve corpses form the symbol of the twelve righteous gods.

An incomparably strong chill and brilliance seeped from the twelve corpses. Annan stood in the middle, and his whole body was gradually frozen by the cold...... And the radiant light swam nimbly within him, as if carving something, as if healing something.

The brilliance of the twelve corpses faded, and the ice melted completely. Annan, on the other hand, remained standing, completely encased in ice, and his body radiated a dazzling light.

The light was like some kind of liquid, shaking and dripping in the ice, gradually seeping into Annan's lungs.

This was repeated for hours.

Until the sun sets.

At the moment when the mana pool in Annan's body changed, the "ice" and "light" on his body suddenly disappeared at the same time.

As Annan slowly opened his eyes.

He exhaled deeply...... It was like taking a puff of cigarette and slowly exhaling it, but what came out of his mouth was an extremely cold wind that was enough to freeze mortals in an instant.
