Chapter 147 Suppressed

Chapter 147 Suppressed

[1600 PSs bonus]

It was very intuitive to do it with his own hands, but the back and forward motion of the chainsaw was harder to grasp with his telekinesis.

It was slow to start, and more than once the chain went too slack to cut anything.

However, after a few seconds, Sylas quickly got the hang of it, and his speed became even faster. Soon, however, he ran into another problem.

'Interesting... it should be the bottleneck for the amount of weight my telekinesis can move.'

The friction of such an action was exceptionally high. At some point, Sylas tried to move too fast, and the friction reached a state that was equivalent to trying to lift a heavy weight. Right now, his telekinesis could still only lift around a few dozen pounds at most before the Physical he could exhibit weakened.

Sylas could break past the limit with Basic Aetherflow, but for obvious reasons, it wasn't worthwhile to do such a thing here. But at the same time, he obviously couldn't touch the chain.

He slowed down the movement of the chains, maintaining a speed that was just enough that his telekinesis' Physical didn't fall beneath 45.

'Fascinating...'

Sylas found himself lost in the intricacies of his telekinesis. There were so many odd tidbits and quirks that he hadn't noticed before, at least not until he was put in this novel situation.

Technically, the hand chainsaw was one object, but his telekinesis was acting on it at two separate points.

Could his telekinesis overlap?

Sylas tried, but they ended up canceling each other out.

'Makes sense... my influence is already there once, unless I shrink one the other can't take action. But if they're acting on separate regions, it works... could that work on my kunai?'

Sylas continued to cut the tree, paying attention to the minor changes. Unwittingly, his telekinesis was becoming more and more refined.

'No, that won't work. If I tried, it would throw the balance off...'

Sylas paused, his eyes flashing with a blinding light.

'Gravity.'

He suddenly understood something.

When you dropped two objects from the same height in a vacuum, they would hit the ground at the same time no matter what—assuming they were on the same planet. Could it be, then, that his telekinesis was akin to a universal constant? Except this time, rather than being decided by a planet or other celestial body, it was based on himself?

Sylas felt like he had just grasped onto something profound, but much like his Flow of Battle state, it felt like he was grasping at clouds. It was right there but it slipped through his fingers again and again.

He frowned.

[The Flow of Battle (Silver) (Quest)]

[The Laws have sensed your Flow of Battle more than once. However, suppressed by a Comprehension much deeper and profound, it has been unable to shine its way through.]

[The Pugilists, Warriors and Berserkers of the past lament this tragedy and seek to give you an opportunity.]

[Find your Flow of Battle and conquer it]

A familiar Quest screen appeared before him, and he read it carefully once more.

'Suppressed...'

This could really only mean one thing. Comprehending Madness somehow restrained his other Comprehensions.

Sylas had already noticed that he was a bit of an anomaly. In the Slithering Madness Dungeon, he comprehended Madness from the barriers earlier than he should have. This was why when the special event was triggered and he redid the Dungeon, he breezed through it.
