When the plot-skips players into the game world

Chapter 1027: Chapter 369: The Hunt Begins, Helquinn!

Peng Bonazzi felt a momentary blank in his thoughts.

By the time he regained consciousness, his body was extremely weary, as though all his strength had been drained away, leaving him feeble.

——It was almost as if he had been frozen in time, while Aleister got in a good beating and then took the chance to escape!

Of course, Peng Bonazzi knew that this was just an illusion.

Time had not stopped; this was another application of the Preservation Arts—directly “preserving” Baroness Beyard to a safe place. And for himself, tainted by the Dusk Power, the power of the Path of Love surging within him was also severely restrained and thus diminished.

Just like warm blood rapidly coagulating and drying up in the cold winter night.

Peng Bonazzi had always detested the Path of Dusk.

He would never admit to his own aging, much less acknowledge his deviation toward the Path of Dusk… This was precisely due to his intense aversion to it.

And now, the residual sense of grimness within him made Peng Bonazzi despise it even more at this moment.

This power… its aura which had once ensnared him in that illusion of cold ice felt very close…

“Dusk—”

Peng Bonazzi gritted his teeth as he spoke, his voice filled with hatred.

Without a doubt.

The special force previously used by Baroness Beyard unquestionably came from Black Chancellor Grunevald!

——This was not unfounded speculation.

The Dusk Power that could even control him, plus the fact that it is currently the Winter Celestial’s time of rising, with heavy snow falling outside… and it just so happens he is on Grunevald’s home turf. Aleister had also mentioned that Heinrich had been frozen here.
