The blades of light, covered in a layer of frost, had doubled in number in a few breaths.

At this time, Annan was already keenly aware of its transformation mechanism, but he couldn't think of how to crack it for a while.

He could only continue, keep using the light wheel in his hand to intercept and shatter the ice sword flying towards him. But when the number of ice swords expanded to more than fifty, Annan began to feel obvious pressure, and wounds began to appear on his body, and the blood was frozen before it could leach out.

At this time, the rotten man silently pointed the palm of his free left hand at Annan.

Annan just swung the light wheel with a sweep as he retreated, cutting off seven or eight ice swords.

But after that, these shattered ice swords didn't turn into twice as many new lightsabers.

They suddenly melted in the air and turned into a faint mist.

Then, Annan suddenly smelled a strange aroma.

It's like a boiling rose...... It has a warm, mellow and rich fragrance.

The aroma soaked into Annan's body in the blink of an eye.

He suddenly felt that his body was a little weak and he couldn't lift his energy. The world began to distort - the colors of the whole world in front of him became unusually bright, purple, blue, and cyan shone to the point of blindness, and red was almost faint and invisible.

This made the whole world in front of him blurry and distorted, as if he had drunk too much, suddenly closing in and out of bounds...... Even when you close your eyes, you feel a strong feeling of vertigo.

Instead, the aroma becomes more intense. And its flavor is starting to get more complex and clearer.

A slight acidity of red wine floats, overshadowing the slight sweetness of the rose.

Immediately after, Annan suddenly lost his hearing-

He could no longer hear the wind, only the rustle of a television snowflake screen. Then came an endless, muffled whisper of malice.

“…… Not. ”

Annan bit his lip suddenly, and he felt a slightly dull puncture sensation coming from his abdomen.

As Annan's sense of distance and hearing was deprived, his color perception was distorted, and the feeling of dizziness coming from his head and the feeling of weakness from his limbs made his block appear obvious holes.

Several ice swords pierced through his belly.

Thankfully, Annan holds the Frost Element, which allows him to ignore the frost of the Ice Sword. But the rotten man himself is probably not particularly good at ice transformation...... He just took advantage of the site created by Annan to launch an attack on Annan.

Annan knew it in his heart.

He recalled the smell of tulips he had smelled when he first met the rotten man. The aroma made his consciousness blurry and extremely sleepy, and his whole body was as muddy as a puppet.

Plus today's aromas......

The transformation of this special "aroma" may be the unique spell of the rotten man!

Shortly after Annan realized about it.

The sweetness and sweetness of the wine that surrounded him, and the mysterious sweetness of the boiling rose, clearly floated with the icy aroma of cedar.

What Annan was deprived of this time was his sense of touch -

He felt a strange warm touch coming from his hands. It was as if he was being held by a pair of warm hands—but he could clearly see that his left hand was empty, and his right hand was holding the Wheel of Frost.

Immediately afterward, this strange tactile sensation spread upwards from both hands.

First of all, the two hands on the back and shoulders. This is followed by the abdomen, then the thighs...... Annan felt countless pairs of different sizes, but what they had in common, was a very warm hand pressed against him. This warm touch completely obscured everything he perceived.

He couldn't feel the touch of the cold wind when he was moving at high speed, or even the ground under his feet, as if he were stepping on cotton. The discomfort of being pierced by an ice sword in the abdomen was also like being erased by an eraser, and it was gradually imperceptible.

"Annan! Get out of the way! ”

Salvatore couldn't help but shout.

But Annan couldn't hear anything.

He just slashed and slashed into the air like he was drunk, smashing some ice swords. But it was pierced by more ice swords—

If Annan were just an ordinary person, he would have died countless times.

After the first few ice swords pierced through his abdomen, an eye somewhere on his body lost light. Like a crack in the black—and then Annan's heart and skull were pierced, only one more eye was closed.

After that, the rotten man did not attack Annan at all, but only attacked his "eyes". In each attack, several ice swords pierced several "eyes" on Annan's body.

…… What the hell is going on with Annan?

Salvatore frowned and muttered in a low voice.

He clearly saw that Annan's originally crisp and neat defensive posture gradually became fragmented.

His body gradually turned red, and his movements became more and more sluggish.

…… Is it poisonous?

Salvatore realized something.

He looked back at the rotten man.

I saw that the left hand raised by the rotten man was locked on Annan's side. Among the ice swords that were shattered by Annan, there were always a few smaller pieces of ice that were melted directly, without hatching a new sword of light.

Damn it!

What to do about this -

From entering the battle to being stripped of the touch, less than half a minute passed.

And the moment he realized that his sense of touch was stripped away, Annan had already thought of a way to crack it:

Truth: The Path of Ascension and Change

Annan cried out for his own truth.

As Annan activated the power of truth attached to the Book of Heavenly Cranes in his heart, a curtain of light appeared in front of his eyes.

【Who to promote?】 】

Elements, brilliance –

Annan said in his heart.

The words on the light curtain quickly crossed Annan's heart:

[Checking the public experience pool...... No public element storage]

【Start Deep Extraction of Elements......】

[Warning: The safe extraction line of the target character "Annan Winter" is only 85%]

【Sublimation Likelihood0%】

[Automatically optimizing the extraction protocol......]

[High enrichment of luminous elements detected]

[Option 1: Extract nearby Radiance Elements, which can be temporarily increased to 100%]

【Sublimation Likelihood 3%】

【Do you want to confirm it?】 】

…… It turns out that this is the "path of ascension and change"?

Confirm!

Annan roughly understood what the essence of his truth, the "path of ascension and change", was......

To put it simply, this seems to be a back-end plus point permission!

Annan suddenly stopped retreating.

The next moment, I saw Annan's eyes closed all over his body at the same time.

He floated in the air, but no longer glowed outward. The whole person is like a black hole, making the surrounding light seem to be much dimmer.

It wasn't a metaphor - the ice swords with the light hidden in them also trembled and suddenly stopped in place, and the light in them quickly extinguished. It's like having been sucked by Annan's soul...... One by one, the ice swords lost their aura and fell to the ground.

Then, Annan's eyes opened again.

The number of his eyes was filled again.

At this time, the ice and rain in the sky unconsciously became dense and gentle.

It's just that it's hard to detect in the extremely cold field that surrounds it.

But only Annan knows......

This "ice rain" has been switched to "drizzle" by him with emotional power!

In his closed eyes.

This rain is like a radar, marking the location and mood of everyone in half the city, including the rotten man, the silver sir, and even Annan himself!

In the wide-area perception of "drizzle", only the mood of the rotten man and the silver sir Annan could not perceive.

But this also marks the specific location of the rotten man and Annan!

No sight, no hearing.

By the induction of the heart alone—

Annan's wings raised behind his shoulders, and a stream of light appeared behind Annan, propelling him forward at breakneck speed. With his eyes closed, he suddenly slammed into the rotten man at full speed!

The blade of light, which was dozens of times stronger than before, pierced from every "eye" of him!

That's a real "lightsaber" -

Annan, who had a blade of light popping up and down his body, stretched out his arms and hugged the rotten man who was caught off guard!

And countless lightsabers have completely penetrated the torso of the rotten man at the moment when Annan hugged the rotten man!

Annan did not immediately let go of the rotten man, but continued to sprint forward with him in his arms, and at the same time his body flew upward.

Those lightsabers suddenly staggered at the moment when Annan rose to height, and the rotten man was directly dismembered.

- But the rotten pieces did not leach out a single trace of blood.

It's just like ice, slowly melting in Annan's arms......
