Chapter 1820: Mind's Marble

Chapter 1820: Mind's Marble

It felt as if Emil had woken up from a long slumber. As if his entire life until now, he had been sleeping, moving while sleeping, eating while sleeping, and everything done while sleeping.

But the moment he unlocked the power within him, he could finally open his eyes, he could finally see... and he could finally feel truly awake.

"What happened to you?!" Benladra asked.

The red-haired woman gritted her teeth in disbelief before the immense Psychic Force Aura surging from the boy.

"T-That Aura...! How come your kind... has awakened as an Esper?! Aren't you only Empaths?!"

Emil faced Benladra with a gentle smile, then at the women with a cold, expressionless face. "Yet despite being Empaths, we are the origin of all your powers, even the one you're using right now on Benladra and the surroundings."

"Huh? So you've figured it out?! How... that's a power that nobody has ever...!"

Crack, crack...!

The woman's eyes opened wide as she saw Emil grasping the Psychic Mass of her own Esper Technique.

"I see what you're doing. This is a Perception Barrier that completely nullifies your presence and that of everyone within a 50-meter radius of you... At the same time, it makes it so everyone you lock-on will endlessly run back to you once they're about to reach the end of the range of your ability, creating the illusion they're running in circles..." Emil analyzed everything within mere seconds. "Amazing, Monique."

"H-He figured it all?!" she gasped. "Wait, how do you know my name?!"

"Your mind is open for me to read," he said. "You're like an open book... your thoughts, even your memories, they have become mine the moment you glanced into my eyes."

"He can read the minds of those that look into his eyes?!" she thought, giving a step back. "That doesn't change anything though..." she smiled defiantly despite all that, giving a false bravado.

"Monique? Is that her name?!" Benladra stood up again. "Can you destroy her Esper Technique?"

"Yes, I already destroyed it with a delay of a few seconds," nodded Emil. "What?!"

Crack, crack...!

CRASH!

Before Monique could even realize, her technique was instantly destroyed, and in that very second, Benladann, Miranda, Kate, and Drakda who were looking for them saw them.

As if they appeared out of nowhere!

"Benladra!" Benladann cried.

"What's going on?!" Miranda asked.

"Who's the red-haired woman?" Kate wondered.

"Bwig sis!" Drakda called for her.

"Ah! There you are, Emil!"

"What happened?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Even Belle and Gabriel were looking for him, Drake had told them to protect him, yet they were instantly excluded from the technique's interior, leaving them completely clueless about Emil and Benladra's whereabouts.

"Tch, shit," Monique clicked her tongue. "I guess the cat's out of the bag..."

She waved her hand as she took out a huge machine gun, loading it with her crimson Esper energy.

"I'm going to kill you all then."

"Wait!"

Benladra tried to stop her as Monique fired the machine gun, a huge cosmic weapon imbued with starlight crystals of the highest density and then boosted with her Esper Aura.

Monique fired her bullets at Emil.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

However, the explosions ended reaching her instead, erupting and blowing her away once

more.

"Guuhh?!"

She vomited blood into the floor, realizing she was killing herself!

"It's my Esper Ability."

"HAH?!"

"Have you seen a marble before?"

"What?! Shut the fuck up and die, you freak!"

Monique lost her cool instantly, taking out a small gun and firing all its bullets at Emil.

Yet...

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

The bullets hit the wall behind her and her legs.

"Aaarrgh!"

As she screamed in pain, Emil looked at her expressionlessly.

"It's a sphere made of glass. This is what my mind has become."

"Eh?!"

"Everyone within range enters my Mind's Marble. The laws of physics, cause and effect, are rewritten based on my own thoughts. Imagination is its fuel though, so it's gets progressively

harder to use."

"... Huh?!"

Monique couldn't believe it.

Was there such a powerful Esper Ability ever?!

"Why are you telling me all of this you dumbass? It'll leak and everyone will come for you!"

"I'm telling you this because you're already dead, Monique."

"I-I'm already... dead?"

Monique then realized that her body was on the floor, bleeding out, her guts were out, her

eyes were glancing at the ceiling.

Rapidly losing their light.

"That's for all the people you've tortured."

"A-Ah..."

"Goodbye."

And then darkness engulfed her consciousness as her eyes rolled.
