Chapter 1191: Chapter 1190: Battle Of The Mind



The glittering silver mana wafted off of my fingertips as fantastically as Kat had once said it had, the ethereal charm of this cold, ancient magic stealing away the attention of all who would see it, and especially those that were already focused completely on me.

The two magics I had unlocked through simply having the privilege of being born to my parents had unique and static effects that I was well aware of even after barely touching them ever since I discovered I had them; Blood Magic was entirely physical in nature and affected the corporeal in its entirety, while Moon Magic - especially the kind I had - was far more suited towards tricking the mind and creating illusions.

From what Mother said both of these magics I had been granted through my heritage were capable of a wide, unknown variety of things depending on how it came to you, the wielder, and apparently my Mother's parents had the opposite of what I had been granted.

Moon Magic was a more advanced Ice Magic in the hands of one of her parents whilst the other had a potent support magic that focused entirely on boosting and amplifying everything inside of someone's blood; conversely, mine was more attuned to tricking minds and draining someone of blood respectively, so she hadn't had too much information to give

me.

Information I would have loved to have been privy to, but there was no use crying over something that never happened, so instead I used what I had at my disposal as I stared at the Butterflykin-esque Fiend that was zipping towards, the glitter around its body continuing to swirl before being sucked up into those Ritual Circles on its gorgeous wings.

"Fascinating..! Unique..!"

The moment one of the chains brushed against its bare neck the Fiend spoke, its sonorous voice causing the chain to hesitate before it settled with wrapping around its shoulders once more, though this time it was moving slowly.

I tried to will it to head upwards, but as I strained myself to do so the Fiend spoke again, this time chuckling before it shuffled around in its stiff bonds, saying "I have never encountered something like this... Is it Moon Magic, perhaps..? Truly fascinating!"

Tilting its head, the Fiend stared at me for a few seconds before looking down at its body, both of us straining ourselves as I tried to keep the chains here while the Fiend watched in interest as the vapors wafting off of the white metal revealed that there was, in fact, nothing holding it in place.

Everything was just in our minds here, and to that end the Fiend looked back up at me and asked "Do you truly wish to clash wills with a Fiend, dear? I'll admit I've been caught off guard and am currently unsure of what it is that I need to do to escape these... 'chains', but it is only a matter of time before I figure it out. This is a nifty trick, but perhaps your Fire Mana would be better used, hm?"

Gritting my teeth, I stared at the Fiend for a second before taking a deep breath as I raised my other hand, summoning a bolt of flame and causing the Fiend to let out a slightly shocked grunt, only to have it writhe around as I sent it flying straight towards its face.

When the flames crashed against its skin and erupted, the Fiend let out a scream before falling silent a moment later, the flames lapping at its skin leaving no mark at all as it realized there was no real fire here, something that made it smile initially before that smile turned upside down.

"Tricky... very tricky..."Nôv(el)B\\jnn
