Theron's heart was frozen over in an instant of time, all of his inner organs ceasing functions. His soul was the only part of him that remained even the slightest bit alive. Even his pupils, which tried to constrict on instinct, found themselves unable to move in relation to his irises.
'Dammit.'
Theron's soul roared with a hidden might, unleashing all four of his Mandates at once in a torrent of soul pressure.
The four worked in conjunction—his Chilling Path and Heat Darkness Path coming together, while his Heated Path and Chilling Dark Path fused as one.
The latter formed a barrier of astounding heat, the former forming a strong domain of repelling chill.
Theron's two Darkness Mandates were both focused on restraint. His Heat Darkness Path suppressed heat, giving him even greater control over the cold. He could probably flash-freeze a Touching Cloud Realm expert in the blink of an eye when these two Mandates worked together.
