[Don''t bother. She won''tst much longer outside this room...]
The system said to Nn almost as of it could predict the future.
While he didn''t understand why the it said that, he didn''t think it was the good time to begin his questioning.
"What else can I do to save her?" He asked, voicing the most important question.
He was starting to notice that Luna''s heaving chest was beginning to slow down, but it wasn''t a sign that things were improving.
Frost was forming on every inch of the bed sheets, and puffs of white mist were escaping from Luna''s nose with every breath.
The lowered breathing was a sign of the situation getting worse!
[I don''t know,]
The system replied, almost indifferently, before quieting down.
Nn was left with the unnaturally cold body on the bed.
''I got this. I got this.''
He muttered to himself, regting his own rising breaths and calming down his rapidly pumping heart
After a moment, his eyes regained rity and focus, the same one he had anytime he was in abat state.
Strengthening his resolve, he stretched his hands forward, touching Luna''s forehead.
He could instantly feel her body flinch as if she had never been touched before, but he ignored that and instead closed his eyes, trying to feel everything going on within her.
His heightened perception kicked in, and he quickly understood the problem. It was just as simple as he had guessed.
Cold!
Luna was facing a terrible cold, and it came from none other than the flowing divine essence within her body.
It was intensely cold and was spreading outward toward her organs, unable to be contained by her veins, and slowly freezing them over.
Almost like... almost like...
"Her Elemental Essence is too powerful, and It''s quantity is simply too much!" Nn eximed and his eyes snapped open.
With the problem understood, the next step was trying to remove the excess Divine Essence from her body.
The only way Divine Essence is removed from the body is through the casting of an art, except for Nn, who was an anomaly and could have his Divine Essence extracted at will.
But Luna was unconscious.
How could she cast any art in this state? If she could, she wouldn''t be in such a dire condition.
"Shit!" Nn cursed.
He was at a loss for ideas.
[I have a solution!] The system suddenly chirped, snapping Nn''s attention back.
"And what is that?" he asked, skeptical.
[Hug her.]

"WHAT!?"
Nn screamed in shock.
[Hug her, and revolve your Anti-Aether energy around your body.]
[If there''s one thing Anti-Aether is good at, it''s canceling out all types of energy.]
[f you hug her and activate your Anti-Aether energy, you''ll be like a burning me, melting away the coldness in her body and devouring the excess Divine Essence.]
[If you''re serious about saving her life, I''m afraid that''s your only choice. I don''t see any reason why you would want to do that though so...]
The system''s words echoed in Nn''s mind.
Revolve his Anti-Aether energy?
He had promised never to reveal it to anyone, and while Luna was deeply unconscious and shouldn''t be able to sense anything, Nn still hesitated.
He had vowed to never activate his Anti-Aether again, but now...
CREEEAAK.
The sound of ice cracking from the frost covering his hands snapped Nn back to reality.
He realized just how grave the situation had be and made his choice.
Jumping off the bed, he moved toward the ss window, tapping the side button.
Immediately, a veil descended over the window, darkening the room.
Resolute, Nn sat on the bed and gently pulled Luna''s cold body onto hisp, hugging her close to himself.
CLAAANK.
CLAAANK.
CLANK.
It had barely been three seconds when Nn''s teeth began to chatter uncontrobly.
''Cold! It''s so cold!'' he roared inwardly in disbelief.
He could only imagine the kind of pain Luna herself was going through.
But he wasted no time and silently awakened the power that was sealed deep within his core.
Immediately, a blue iridescent light shed into the room as Nn''s dull blue eyes began to glow.
He had activated his Anti-Aether.
Like a burning me, blue energy radiated from Nn''s body, illuminating the room in a gentle blue light.
The cold temperature in the room began to decrease, and Nn''s teeth stopped chattering.
He noticed the frost covering Luna''s hands was slowly receding back into her body.
Quietly, he remained in the same hugging position, his Anti-Aether energy burning away the cold within Luna.
But Nn wasn''t without his own struggles.
The cold from Luna''s body was being transferred into his own veins, and while it was eventually canceled by the Anti-Aether, it still caused a sharp pain to run through him.
Veins soon bulged on his forehead from the stinging sensation.
But his pain tolerance was nothing to scoff at, and he endured it all.
After a while, he noticed Luna''s chest had returned to its normal rhythm, and her body had regained its natural color.
Her formerly pale, white skin was now flush with life, and a healthy glow returned to her cheeks.
[She''s healed... for now,]
Te system informed him.
Nn instantly de-activated his Anti-Ather, and carefullyid Luna back on the bed but quickly noticed that there were still chunks of icy frost on the bed sheets.
They hadn''t yet melted.
Laying her back here might trigger another reaction, so Nn carried her to his own bed instead.
Unlike her bed, his was incredibly warm and soothing for her.
Now, Nn felt his work was done.
Luna had yet to wake and was still in a deep sleep, but her condition had definitely stabilized.
There should be no further problems for now.
"I guess it''s time for me to go check things out," Nn mused as he rose to his feet and headed toward the door.
Giving onest nce at the sleeping Luna, he unlocked the door and quietly left the room, stepping into the elevator.
Barely a minute after Nn left, six pairs of white eyes opened in the room, shing with various emotions.
