"It is the ability scroll, Frostsword Executioner," Auguszta replied before Clentine could answer. "A powerful rank three offensive ability that we bought for you, husband." A mischievous smirk appeared on her face. "And also the main reason behind all the chaos that happened earlier."
"Oh?" Aezaleon’s brows rose slightly.
Taking the scroll from Clentine’s hands, he carefully examined it. The cold energy contained within felt surprisingly pure and refined.
"You haven’t told anything about its abilities yet," he said, looking toward his girls. "Tell what it can do. You’ve successfully piqued my interest, wives."
The three won were naturally more than happy to explain.
Frostsword Executioner was an engineered combat ability that condensed energy into floating frost-aspected execution blades. These blades could move independently under the user’s command, surround enemies, launch coordinated attacks, intercept incoming strikes, and even function as a defensive formation when necessary.
What made the ability particularly dangerous was that the blades were not simple projectiles; they operated as extensions of the user’s own battle cognition, responding directly to ntal commands and combat intent. The more capable the user’s will and soul were, the more blades could be controlled simultaneously, making the ability increasingly terrifying.
However, that strength ca with a cost. Every active blade increased the burden placed upon the user’s mind, soul, and consciousness.
A weak or unstable user could easily lose control, suffer ntal backlash, damage their soul, or even destroy their own consciousness through excessive strain.
In essence, it was an ability whose effectiveness depended just as much on ntal discipline and spiritual robustness as it did on energy reserves. As the explanation continued, Aezaleon’s interest only grew. By the ti they finished, his eyes were practically shining.
"This is indeed a fascinating ability." The admiration in his voice was genuine. The way the ability functioned, the versatility it offered, and the elegance of its design all impressed him greatly.
As soone who had created abilities himself, Aezaleon found it difficult not to appreciate such a unique piece of engineering. The architecture behind Frostsword Executioner was both sophisticated and efficient, perfectly balancing offense, defense, and battlefield control within a single frawork.
The more he understood it, the more intrigued he beca.
In fact, he was already looking forward not only to learning the ability but also to experiencing firsthand what such an unusual combat style felt like in actual battle.
"But..." A hint of doubt appeared on his face. Turning toward Anastasia, he glanced at her thoughtfully. "Aren’t you a much better candidate for learning this ability than I am? With your Velith Frost, Frostsword Executioner should beco absolutely terrifying, no?"
"Idiot, as my master, isn’t it obvious that you can use my frost as well?" Anastasia lightly bit his ear, her voice carrying an adorably displeased tone. Looking directly into his eyes, she continued, "And regardless of everything that has happened, I was still once a princess of the Imperial House of Nizalea. I have my own arsenal of powerful abilities, so you don’t need to worry about , husband."
"She’s right." Clentine nodded in agreent. "We bought it for you, husband. Even if this little sister wanted to learn it, I wouldn’t have let her." Her words were firm, leaving no room for debate. "Besides, it’s not like she can’t use the abilities you possess. As your companion, she benefits from them as well, so everything works out perfectly."
Aezaleon nodded. Now that they put it that way, it really had been a pointless question. Without wasting any more ti, he channeled his energy into the ability scroll, activating the intricate runic formations engraved within it. Imdiately, the dormant runes awakened and began glowing with a pale blue radiance.
The light flowed across the surface of the scroll like blood moving through veins, weaving through countless pathways before gradually converging toward a single point. The entire process lasted less than a second. The mont the convergence was complete, a concentrated beam of blue light shot directly into Aezaleon’s forehead. His head jerked backward from the sudden impact.
At the sa ti, an enormous amount of foreign information flooded into his mind: techniques, principles, control thods, energy pathways, and combat applications—the complete inheritance of Frostsword Executioner.
The information entered his mories in a chaotic and disorganized state. Ordinarily, a person would need considerable ti to sort through such an inheritance. They would first organize the information, then understand it, and finally comprehend it before attempting to utilize the ability itself.
However, Aezaleon was hardly ordinary.
The mont the inheritance entered his mind, Sovereign Will Cognizance activated automatically. The chaotic information was rapidly organized, analyzed, and integrated into his growing body of understanding. Patterns beca clear and relationships erged.
The foundational architecture of Frostsword Executioner gradually unfolded before him. Simultaneously, one of the effects belonging to his seventh ability effect, Paragon of Infinite Will, ensured the process proceeded flawlessly. The overwhelming flood of information failed to create even the slightest burden upon his consciousness, allowing him to absorb and comprehend the inheritance at an astonishing rate.
Within thirty seconds, the inheritance had been completely organized.
The next thirty seconds were spent understanding its principles, structure, and applications. By the end of the minute, Aezaleon already possessed a complete conceptual understanding of how Frostsword Executioner functioned.
Now only one step remained; he simply had to activate the ability according to his understanding. If he succeeded, it would an he had successfully comprehended the ability. He opened his eyes, as calm as ever.
"So, have you learned the ability already?" The four girls looked at him with expectant expressions. Honestly, they seed to have more faith in him than he had in himself.
Aezaleon’s lips curled slightly. "I have. One successful utilization and it will beco a certainty."
"Then what are you waiting for?" Auguszta asked eagerly. "Let’s test it out."
Aezaleon blinked. "You do realize we can’t do that, right? We’re literally in the middle of a city."
"I know that." Auguszta rolled her eyes. "I’m talking about your Infinite Soul Sea. As a structure capable of housing both physical and taphysical existences, we can obviously test it there, can’t we?"
"Ah..."
