Chapter 159: The Forest of the Fallen (Part 2)

Arin cast Dark Authority. Now that the giant was injured, it was the perfect opportunity to test whether her abilities would work.

The Dark Authority Arin used took the form of shadowy branches that spread out like plants. The branches dug into the giant’s shadow, climbing up like vines to grab its ankles.

Arin then cast Mental Shock, a psychic attack.

If telepathy was like a thief, Mental Shock was like a robber. While it couldn’t inflict trauma, it could deliver a shock equivalent to a phobia.

The true strength of Mental Shock was its ability to chain into Mind Control.

Mind Control, which was also Arcane’s specialty, was a magic that allowed one to manipulate another’s body, but it was difficult to succeed.

To achieve a near 100% success rate, it required concentration 20 times greater than the target’s mental strength.

In the end, it was impossible to dominate someone stronger than oneself.

However, depending on strategy and tactics, such a thing could sometimes happen, and that was when Mental Shock succeeded.

If they could dominate the giant with Mind Control, there would be nothing to fear in the forest. Knowing this, Canis also paid close attention to the result without taking any further action.

Mental Shock failed.
