——It’s over.

The ropes tied around Annan’s ankles, symbolizing "Web" and "Trap", had already frozen into segments and cracked on their own, coated with a thin layer of frost.

The air in the room was so icy that just breathing felt like cutting one’s windpipe. And the windows were covered with a thick layer of frost, like cracks.

The honey citrus tea that Jiu’er had placed next to Annan had completely frozen into an ice pop. The walls were covered in centipede-like frost marks.

This was the power leaking from Annan’s dream.

"This is really... quite exhilarating."

Annan sighed deeply.

He touched the corner of his mouth.

There had been a hole there before, large enough to touch his gums directly from the outside of his face. But now, the skin had fully healed.

Like the scars left after a bout of wild laughter, a faint, barely visible smile lingered on his face.

Except when he had climbed up repeatedly from that bottomless abyss.

It was seldom that Annan could experience such strong, such impactful pleasure.

This was probably because, although Annan couldn’t feel negative emotions... they still objectively existed.

Ordinary pleasure was just simply "happiness".

But obliterating something he detested—though Annan couldn’t actually feel hate or anger, the pleasure that came from reversing that detestation still made him feel "whole".

What are "Justice", "Guardianship", and "Sacrifice" about?

The Relics of the Saints?

This was the first time Annan had seen such descriptions and hints after purifying a nightmare.

It’s not easy...

"Could it be that the Heart of Justice is truly willing to acknowledge someone as unruly as me?"

But justice is one thing.

Annan thought.

After all, he had punished a real scoundrel—this kind of pure villain, he hadn’t seen many of them after his second playthrough began.

Such actions could indeed be called justice.

"But why are Guardianship and Sacrifice watching me?"

Annan was very confused.

What have I protected?

I didn’t sacrifice anything, did I?

Could it be that sacrificing myself counts?

However, I’m a bit curious... the Relic of the Saints is the "heart".

What are Guardianship and Sacrifice?

And I wonder if I can be marked by multiple Holy Relics at the same time...

"...Uh."

Just as Annan was about to get up from the sofa, he suddenly felt a wave of dizziness.

It wasn’t that there was something wrong with his body.

Instead, the world around him suddenly became crystal clear—as if he’d put on a pair of glasses with far too strong a prescription. The influx of information was so immense that Annan’s brain swelled ever so slightly, not entirely accustomed to it.

Is this... transcendent perception?

Not only had his sense of touch become several times more sensitive.

Annan could even feel the temperature with his skin... he could perceive his emotions with unfailing clarity, and he could faintly make out obscure "lines" that connected everything before his eyes.

Is this the... Prophet Wizard’s Insight Eye?

Annan had heard that, generally, the principle behind a Prophet Wizard’s foresight is "knowing in advance what one is about to know." However, a sufficiently powerful Prophet Wizard could perceive the connections between "others and others" that had nothing to do with them.

This can be roughly understood as the threads of cause and effect.

But Annan didn’t know the academic term for this, nor how it worked—after all, he wasn’t formally trained as a Prophet Wizard.

However, one thing was certain.

Annan’s sensory attributes had reached a level he could not control.

If they continued to increase, his willpower, barely at 50 points, would likely collapse outright.

Until he adjusted to his transcendent perception or until his Will attribute had also elevated to a transcendent level, Annan had no intention of continuing to level up as a "Frostspeaker."

So, he didn’t have much choice in how to allocate his points.

After putting all five levels into Victorious Knight, Annan felt a faint creaking in his body.

It was not a painful metamorphosis.

His body, like parched soil, greedily absorbed moisture.

It was just that under the camouflage of Giralda’s stand-in, it wasn’t so obvious.

The enhancement of Will attributes was one thing.

But the fortification of his physique would surely not reflect back to Giralda.

Hence, Annan’s "Victorious Knight" leapt to level 28.

This wasn’t just a gift from the nightmare.

A part of it came from the reward for killing that spider.

The spider melted directly into the nightmare, and Annan, having killed it in the dream, therefore didn’t gain experience... but instead received "levels." It became part of the nightmare’s reward.

Of course, had Annan perished... the other party would probably have received a generous reward just like Annan.

Victorious Knight LV28: [Winter Sword Technique LV10 (Max)], [Frost Sword Technique LV10 (Max)], [Categorical Perception Level 1], [Will of Victory LV1 (Max)], [Brilliant Sword LV4], free skill points 5.

And Annan’s Constitution attribute had finally reached 47 points, with his Will boosted to 41 points.

After Will had increased to over forty.

Annan instantly felt that his head, which had been throbbing and foggy, became much lighter.

The stream of information that flowed into his brain also became less unbearable... It was possible the enhancement of his Constitution attribute had made Annan’s brain clearer and stronger too.

With a Constitution approaching fifty points, even the cuts he received would clot and stop bleeding instantly. The blood that flowed would probably not lose vitality for a substantial amount of time.

Because of the passive effect of the Silver Flesh Spell, Annan was considered to have +5 Constitution when taking damage. But this +5 to Constitution wouldn’t grant Annan the special abilities of "Transcendent Constitution," it would merely push his Constitution over 50.

Transcendent perception endowed Annan with the Prophet Wizard’s Insight Eye while in the "Giralda" form.

It was unknown what he would gain in his own form... Transcendent Constitution and Transcendent Will, what effects would they bring.

He was looking forward to it.

Just then.

Annan suddenly had a premonition—that the door would be pushed open.

And sure enough, two or three seconds later, the door to Jiu’er’s room was pushed open from the outside.

Jiu’er, holding a fruit plate, glanced at Annan, who had sat up, and paused for a moment.

"...Prince Annan?"

She said unconsciously.

Then she immediately realized she had spoken out of turn.

She looked back and, seeing no one had followed her, breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiu’er closed the room door, which felt strange in hand due to the ice formation.

She didn’t notice the changes in the room, nor did she see the frosted windows and drinks; she only felt an unusual cold.

"Are you cold, Prince Annan?"

She curiously asked Annan, "And you’ve come out of the nightmare so quickly?"

Jiu’er couldn’t help but admire Annan to herself.

—As expected of Prince Annan!

In such a short time, he found the way out of the nightmare.

At least three times faster than Four Dark Decks!

But Annan merely gave a strange smile.

"...No, I have completed the purification."
