'Was the ntal imprint just an elaborate trap in the end?'
Finding myself in such an unsolvable situation that had every possibility of ending with my death, I couldn't help but suspect the true intent of the ntal imprint that 'gifted' the Crystal Tower of Refinent.
Originally, I accepted its words to be the truth due to both its nature as a lifeless imprint as well as the special 'Demon Hunter' knowledge that it knew. Moreover, the benefits that I received weren't little at all, even my Perception didn't seem to sense any threat or malice.
However, with a deadend like this standing before and the very last step of leaving, everything was up to debate. It could be that all these points that assured were simply there for that reason, gaining my trust before stabbing in the back.
Was such a detailed training and refining 'Law' tool really just a way to lure into a trap?
'No.'
In the end, I quickly gathered my thoughts and ended these dark suspicions, these suspicions were obviously still influenced by the corruptive ntal invasion of the 'figure'.
Looking at it from another point of view, the 'figure' itself seed to be surprised to appear here. He simply decided to eliminate due to my potential threat, the chances he was part of this plot was very low.
'This is probably a very special occurrence that took place as a coincidence.'
Persuading myself to ignore the dark thoughts, I rotated the clockworks in my mind at full speed, thinking of thods that could solve the situation other than gambling on the chance that the figure was bluffing.
Even in the low chance that this was really an elaborate trap, it didn't an that all paths were blocked! New solutions ca out in the world everyday! It's only a matter of whether you can apply it or not!
'Not this… Not this…'
Ideas co up at sonic speed, but were quickly rejected by at the sa pace. This situation was really 'narrow', not many openings could be made…
However!
'Perhaps… that would work?'
After five minutes of avoiding and slashing at the nonchalant 'figure' who seed like he had all ti to no avail, an idea that wasn't automatically rejected by ca up!
'Since his strongest property is 'ntality' even though he is just made out of energy, then…'
Processing the idea, my mind started relaxing more and more as it confird the logic behind it to be the most plausible one. Regardless, it was still only a theory that was barely ntioned in any of the books and records that I read.
'The main point is… Can ntal energy do that?'
The concept of the idea itself was pretty simple, it just suggested that one would use ntal energy to control other energies like weapon energy or elents, that wasn't overcomplicated at all, it was a point of whether it was doable or not.
The 'Telekinesis' or even the simple control of ntal energy was based on a very simple theory, it used the intangible ntal energy, to control or affect the tangible, whether that be simple objects or living opponents. This was confird to be the case by , which was based on all the experints that I did till this point.
Even the books or records that ntioned this theory simply did so to deny the idea, it was my mind that suggested that there might be a chance for success.
'I only experinted till my 'Wisdom' reached 40 points. It could work…'
My current Wisdom was a whopping 50 points, that was already 20 points ahead of the peak of normal humans and 10 points ahead of my last ntal energy experint, the chance that a certain qualitative change that altered its basic properties took place were still high.
Furthermore, I still had 8 points that could be added, though I had a foreboding that doing so could be dangerous, I could worry about that later after I get out of this sticky situation!
'That's the only thod that might give the chance.'
Using physical attacks proved useless so far, only such a mysterious energy like ntal energy could change the situation, especially when dealing with sothing like this 'figure'.
Having already clashed with him for this long, I confird that ntal energy on its own didn't harm him, perhaps only by combining it with Darkness would work out. After all, this was the only thod to cause 'harm' in the tower of refining.
- Still confident? That's better! I have been very bored lately, such a chance is really rare! -
The feelings on the face of the 'figure' intensified, he seed like he wanted to end the battle very quickly at the beginning, but it seed like he was slowly enjoying the feeling of hunting a harmless prey.
'I hope this will give you enough 'joy'...'
Ignoring the words of provocation that the figure threw at , I focused my ntal energy that surrounded my swords into the Darkness elents on the sword themselves, trying to grab a hold of it…
No reaction seed to co out, it was simply like trying to grab the air, one wouldn't be able to capture the gas particles, and that was exactly the case.
'Is it really implausible…?'
I was slightly disappointed as I contemplated whether I should add more points into my 'Wisdom'. However…
'Huh?'
Like a little child that kept avoiding holding the hand that an adult extended, the Darkness elents seed to have tangible frictions with the ntal energy after trying to grab hold of it several dozens of tis.
'This…'
Such a reaction was simply exciting, if the Darkness elents only required more coaxing to allow ntal energy to grab hold of it, there was a great chance an attack could work.
- Hmmm? Did you decide to give up this early? -
As a small smile escaped my mouth, the 'figure' seed to mistake it for a smile of helplessness, shaking his head in 'regret'.
"Perhaps…"
Giving him an answer for the first ti since he appeared, I smiled even more deep inside as the Darkness elents reluctantly accepted the 'ntal hand' that was trying to take hold of it…
'...your turn to give up would be soon…'
