Annan’s strength was three tis that of an ordinary dragon, which was precisely why he could so easily defeat the replicated Nicholas.
Neither of them had high physical strength attributes when in human form.
Even if Annan could stack his will attribute on top of his strength attribute, it would likely be a drop in the bucket compared to the natural strength of a dragon.
However, this tripled power allowed Annan to catch the Demon Dragon Nicholas off guard and imdiately restrain him, leaving no chance for escape.
—Until he used the Elent of Victory to adjust his strength to be even stronger than Annan’s.
But Annan would not give him the chance to break free.
The sealed form of "The Third Siren" had besides the "triple experience" and "triple damage," actually had an active effect:
[Blood of Madness: You will fall into madness periodically, with random negative emotions being extre until you summon "The White Lady"; but if you do not do so, you’ll be able to permanently control the wills of three Transcendents (can only be used three tis, and only on Transcendents; each use permanently overwrites the mind of a Transcendent of Gold rank or below, with a one-third chance of turning them into a fallen being of the sa rank)]
It was at that mont.
Annan activated "Blood of Madness" for the first ti!
The highest stream of light from his crown of light suddenly beca resplendent.
And in the eyes of the Demon Dragon Nicholas, that light began to swell enormously.
It overshadowed the other two streams of light and even surpassed the world itself.
The mont Nicholas saw that beam of light, his body had already beco immobile, frozen in place.
The light started to expand upward and downward—like a light slash that opens the heavens and the earth, it split his field of vision into left and right halves.
And the light was still expanding.
The whole world around plunged into darkness, but that light beca rapidly larger—as if standing in a dark world, swiftly approaching a glowing door.
As the view zood in at the closest, that slim beam of light had already expanded to fill Nicholas’s entire vision, dyeing his thoughts into pure white.
It was like when the Dream Stealer, Denton, had used the elent of "Dream" to enter deep into Bernadino’s consciousness.
Annan felt his consciousness detaching from his body... and rushed into the demon’s eyes, which had been turned pure white and had completely stopped moving.
This was also Annan’s first ti using the abilities of "Blood of Madness."
In a pitch-black world, Annan swiftly navigated.
Nurous orbs of light passed by him—those were the ssy, fragnted thoughts of the superficial layer of consciousness.
And in the darkness, Annan had transford into a fledgling dragon made of pure light, effortlessly flying past sturdy crystal walls.
Those were "constraints" that the Demon Dragon Nicholas had set for himself.
They were not Curse Bindings, but rather human restraints.
It could also be called "worldview" itself. In the Soul Snatching School, it was academically referred to as "The Wall of Common Sense."
Breaking The Wall of Common Sense ant breaking a certain worldview.
And when thinking, one must also try to overco one’s own Wall of Common Sense, otherwise logical thinking could be stopped by The Wall of Common Sense... and thus unable to reach the surface to beco thought fragnts that one’s rational consciousness can perceive.
Crossing nurous Walls of Common Sense, one can see the place of "The Origin of the Heart" at the beginning.
That is, the event that ford today’s worldview, that ford the core personality.
It was not a continuous, complete event.
It was a non-logical amalgamation of many events.
Within The Wall of Common Sense, in the depths of the subconscious sea, "logic" doesn’t exist. It’s more absurd than dreams... just a combination of myriad disjointed mories.
It might even be an event that changed his personality that he himself was unaware of, or had forgotten, and was faithfully recorded here.
Annan vaguely saw...
Nicholas’s deepest ntal illusion was an old-fashioned stone Wizard’s Tower.
—That was the Jade Tower.
Many mories rapidly flowed into Annan’s mind—
Although it was called the Jade Tower, it wasn’t entirely carved out of jade.
Instead, on each of the thirteen floors of the Wizard’s Tower, there was a jade slab inscribed with alchemical symbols that only a wizard of the Jade Tower could decipher.
Inside were stored the souls of thirteen Sages that had been solidified onto the slabs before the Elves entered the Living Desert.
They had a collective na.
That was... Hers.
The slab itself was crafted by the mysterious lady.
By touching the slab with consciousness, one could receive instruction from the ancient Sages. Whether it was A’zoth, the Hers Faction’s Philosopher’s Stone, or the thods for making ancient artifacts like Hers Faction’s Toxic Dust, all originated from these ancient Sages.
The Elves were inspired to create the "Specin Archive" by the Jade Tower.
Under the gratuitous instruction of these thirteen ntors, anyone seeking knowledge could access the knowledge they desired. The knowledge of the thirteen ntors nearly covered all truths in the world... They preserved all knowledge from the First Era to the present.
Yes, all of it.
As the "Tower of Knowledge," the Jade Record could invoke books from any Wizard’s Tower.
This even allowed the thirteen ancient Sages to continually learn.
