Annan certainly couldn't have known such a high-level Soul Snatching Spell.
To instantaneously bypass the willpower barrier of a silver-rank Transcendent and enter their consciousness space... It would take at least a gold-rank to master such a spell.
But the method Annan used was not a spell from the Soul Snatching School at all.
It was a power that stood entirely above that—
The moment Annan switched his "Healing Aura" to "Shocking Aura," he had instantly stripped away the other's rationality and erased their resistance consciousness.
From the tests he ran on Husky and the others, Annan had roughly figured out what the "Shocking" condition entailed.
This "Shocking" condition—could also be understood as a "blackout" state, a very powerful means of control. It was roughly equivalent to "Deep Sleep," allowing the target's will attribute to temporarily drop to zero, losing the ability to attack and cast spells, yet it was easier to achieve than knocking someone unconscious.
