Chapter 202 - Mind Control Necklace

And Kevin who was now connected to the divine power of the Chains of Restraint felt something that he had missed the first time, maybe it was because he was using them to defend himself and not to attack, but this time he clearly felt that something was hindering him.

He put his hands around his neck where he felt that strange sensation but of course there was nothing, he then refocused his attention on the imminent threat and that's when they all saw it, that huge silver lightning bolt covered in black flame.

He heard everyone swear and they all braced themselves for the impact, the lightning bolt struck into the Chains of Restraint and on the dome they had created around them to protect them, cracks appeared everywhere but it held on.

Only it wasn't over yet, the black flames were eating away at the golden chains like acid and Ian then said to Alan : "To counter these black flames we need the particles of light, they are the only thing that will destroy them but we need a lot of them, tell me you have some in stock."

Alan smirked and pulled some large Light Talisman papers out of his magic bag and he handed them to Ian saying : "I have more if you need them."

Ian smiled, Alan had just given him 50 000 particles of light in one go, he said to him : "That should be enough, but be prepared in case I need more ... Kevin try to hold on a little longer, if those black flames touch us it's over, they are able to disintegrate us and even I won't be able to do anything against them."

When Kevin didn't answer, everyone started to look at him and they saw that the iris of his eyes had turned golden and that he seemed to be very concentrated, Ian didn't waste any more time and he used the particles of light to eliminate these black flames.

With his knowledge he transformed them into a beam of light that gradually disintegrated the black flames that continued to eat away at the Chains of Restraint that served as their shield.

What they didn't know was that Kevin wasn't focused on keeping the shield in place but was using the power of his Chains of Restraint to find what was around his neck and get rid of it.

And that was also why the Chains of Restraint were being eaten away by those black flames, after all they could deploy at will, so they could easily have made new chains appear to protect them but what was hindering their master was very powerful and it consumed a lot of their power to find it.

Kevin finally closed his eyes to call upon his sixth sense, after all he had just had a vision and that meant that he had access to his sixth sense now.

He was beginning to wonder if whoever had transmigrated his soul into this body had taken the opportunity to block his innate Warrior Spirit skill.

After all, ever since he had moved to Stage 2 he had always had access to it when he wanted to ... Well except for the last 5 years when he had only managed to use it a few times, but he had put that down to fatigue and his inability to concentrate enough to use it, was he already wrong back then ?

He then felt his Chains of Restraint scanning him and he cleared his head to focus on his current problem, he saw what his Chains were seeing and there was indeed a black necklace around his neck.

He then heard Axel's voice in his head and he sounded really worried when he said to him, 'Babe, the black flames are gone, Ian took care of them, you can stop now ... Your nose is bleeding babe, whatever you are doing, stop it right now !'

Kevin then told him also via their link, 'Sorry honey but I can't, I just discovered a black necklace around my neck and I already told you before, if there is one thing I hate more than anything it's being someone's puppet.

Let me get rid of this thing and prepare for me Ashton's remedy I'm going to need it, I have put them in our inventory but I don't have access to my system because right now I can't break my focus.'

Axel had turned pale and after quickly explaining the situation to everyone, a remedy appeared in his hand and then he said to Kevin, still using their telepathic link as he seemed to be able to use it normally, 'Babe, you should take it now, you told me yourself that it was better to use it as soon as possible to prevent mental fatigue from setting in.

Given the state you're already in, you're gonna need all your abilities to remove this thing from your neck, let me help you to give it to you now, you will just have to swallow it, what do you say ?'

Kevin replied immediately, 'I say I have the best husband in the world ... go on honey, you're right I'm going to need it.'

Axel focused all his attention on Kevin and he helped him drink the remedy, he wasn't worried about the others anymore, as Ian had destroyed the black flames, the dome was still protecting them, they were no longer in danger ... Unless they have to suffer another attack.

Ian then asked him when he had finished to give the remedy to Kevin : "You said he had a black necklace around his neck and he thought someone was trying to control him ?"

Axel nodded and asked him : "Do you know what it could be ?"

Ian frowned and said to him : "It's very rare, but all I can think of is that it must be a mind control necklace, and if so he's right ... That person can't control him, I mean not his body, nor his thoughts, but he can prevent him from using his mind related abilities ... Fuck, whoever put that necklace on him must have blocked at the minimum his Warrior Spirit skill, that's why he can't use it as he wants."

Axel was about to ask him more questions about the negative effects this necklace could have on Kevin when he saw him fall to his knees with a waxy complexion.

Axel's eyes immediately turned bright red and an aura of the same color appeared around him, his mark of the Union burned him and he saw that it had turned completely golden.

So he didn't think any further and followed his instinct, he knelt down in front of Kevin and grabbed his right hand where his own mark was and it had also turned golden color, he then put his hand down on Kevin's for their mark to join and right after that he saw what Kevin was seeing.
