And the moment Annan hit Justin.
Or - when the hammer touched the back of Justin's hand, all the books in the study trembled suddenly.
And Justin felt a familiar and strong chill again.
His skin suddenly tightened.
It was as if the whole person had suddenly put on tights.
It's a controlling spell!
Justin's brain immediately recognized the problem.
But his body couldn't react at all—
I saw an invisible halo centered on Justin and suddenly spread out.
In the entire study room, all books, documents, and newspapers.
While being swept by that halo, it seemed as if he had gained life at the same time.
— [page lock body]!
All the words on the [Knowledge Carrier] are wriggling like dense insects, embedded in the pure flow of light, and become fine, mosquito-like bones.
And countless streams of light formed dense chains of light, sweeping from all directions, capturing Justin's body instantly!
His right hand is still in a forward grip. His knees were straining, the muscles on his body were still bulging, and his fleshy face was ferocious. Standing on tiptoe, he kicked the stool backward with strength, and the whole person was rigidly frozen in the air by the chain in a dynamic hunting posture!
Those chains were wrapped around him several times and nailed into his body. Like lightning, they injected hundreds of books of parallel knowledge into Justin's mind at the same time.
"Ahhhh—"
Intersecting in the middle of countless streams of light, Justin let out an extremely painful roar, and his eyeballs trembled violently.
His eyes were instantly bloodshot and turned red. Blood quickly overflowed from the eyes, ears, mouth and nose, the veins on the head bulged and creaked, and dark purple marks burst out from the skin.
However, can not break free.
crunch crunch crunch—
Sensing that Justin wanted to break free, the chains began to tighten immediately.
The intense pain made his body weak, while the heavy knowledge seized his body.
Justin is not defenseless.
He used his hole cards at the first time.
Two of the three bronze rings on his right finger lit up.
One of them was the curse he got after hunting down a female wizard.
[Loss of Pain]!
The content of the curse is very simple - after using it, you can completely lose the sense of pain and touch like her, and you will not be moved in the slightest no matter how much torture and torture you endure.
After opening the spell, Justin felt that his brain, which had been numb due to the severe pain, finally woke up a little...
And the second spell he released could allow him to get out of trouble!
It's from a "gladiator" that Justin once killed with a backstab.
His fighting power is extremely powerful, even stronger than Justin, and he is almost impossible to fight against in a frontal battle...
—[Break out]!
This is a spell that can only be used when one is trapped, and the price is that one has to be bound and break free once a week, otherwise the bones and muscles will directly jump out of the shackles of the skin.
Its ability is that it can multiply its life-saving ability by multiplying its strength when it comes to checks such as "breaking out of trouble"!
Ignore pain. The ability to break free from control. And his own perpetual motion physical strength. Plus the third curse that has not been used for the time being - it can be used once a month to restore the injury to one second before dying.
This is what he used to fight against the strange instant-death abilities of wizards.
This is the ability system that Justin has equipped for himself.
Justin thought that his set of abilities would never fall behind any Transcendent of the same level—
"Looks like I'm going to kill myself..."
Justin, who had regained his sanity, murmured to Annan with a sullen face.
His seven orifices were still bleeding, but he no longer felt pain.
Under Justin's skin, there were thick blood vessels wriggling back and forth like worms. The muscles turned dark red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a faint white mist was evaporating.
"Ah… "
He yelled softly and exerted his strength slowly.
The next moment, the chains began to vibrate.
The books in the entire room began to crack.
The first thing to crack was the newspaper.
Like the cracked earth, deep marks were cracked on each newspaper, and the cracks began to burn slowly like ashes.
Although Annan couldn't see it, the same situation must have occurred inside the book...
After all, Alvin Barber was just a Viscount. This is only his manor, not his Viscount's mansion.
The books in this study, the knowledge recorded in them naturally cannot be so secret. And it is entirely possible to break free of the rune lock that is not secret enough to be quickly broken...
But Annan had already expected this.
Before [Book Page Lock] was broken free by Justin with brute force, Annan was already standing in front of him, whispering softly:
"—Go to sleep."
A gloomy brilliance flashed in Annan's eyes.
It was Annan's instant spell, the lazy eye!
Justin, who was directly imprinted by Annan with a strong "laziness" emotion, subconsciously stagnated for a moment to exert his body's strength, and his "struggle with all his strength" was interrupted accordingly.
Although he was very witty, at the moment his consciousness became sluggish, he canceled the "analgesia of pain".
Under the strong impact of pain, this trace of laziness was disintegrated in an instant.
But just a moment of control is enough.
Even if Justin regained his consciousness in the next moment, those light chains that had already started to vibrate and became precarious were re-strengthened the moment Justin's "struggle with all his strength" ability was interrupted. .
"Uh ah ah—"
Justin screamed again, and was bound tightly by the chains again.
This time, Justin has no possibility of escape.
As frost air burst out from Annan's body, an irresistible cold air penetrated into his body.
Annan very skillfully extended the new control again. Soon Justin stopped struggling altogether.
But Annan didn't intend to end him 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 doing business.
The Wheel of Frost at this distance has no starting distance, so its power will not be very powerful. And it's entirely possible that Justin would escape by wrecking the bookshelf...
So Annan opened his satchel.
He took out the kitchen knife dripping with blood.
The curse on his wrist has been undone, and the black mud is branded on his arm again, forming an abstract and zigzag pattern of a broken sword.
- Butcher's Blade has been activated.
"You... I caught you."
Annan smiled and looked at Justin who was frozen in mid-air while maintaining a hunting posture.
But his eyes are still pure and clean, and the ice blue pupils are full of smiles and complacency.
His heart was filled with the excitement and joy of defeating a powerful enemy.
He didn't care about Justin's background story at all, he didn't care how many innocent people he killed, how much hatred he carried, and who were the extraordinary beings he hunted down...
Because Annan is very honest.
He was just happy because he defeated this powerful enemy.
He knew he didn't kill Justin because of those people. Of course, if the family members of those people appeared in front of Annan first, he might accept the task of "revenge for them" out of compassion and sympathy.
But at least for now, Annan assassinated Justin only in order to kill the Viscount and let him leave smoothly.
So 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 no guilt either.
It's just like a child tearing down a butterfly's wings, filled with pure joy deep inside.
What to do when you hate a monster? What if a monster wants to attack itself? What about a monster guarding the treasure chest
— Kill him if you can.
Players will answer this way.
But even those genuine players who have entered this world, after seeing this real world, cannot continue to hold this pure player mentality.
Monsters who act just for fun, no matter the odds, no cost, no fear...they can't.
Because they started to care about this game, this world.
But Annan...
—Annan was fearless.
Therefore, Annan believes that only he is the real and only player in this world...
"I'll give you a good time, Brother Justin."
Annan bowed politely to Justin for the last time, and raised the boning knife dripping blood in his hand: "The rest... I don't care about it."
