Ethereal Ascendance: A Journey of Transformation (Volume 6)

Vol 6/ Chapter 13: Psionic Energy

Nicola could clearly feel that the light element from the arrow had stuck to the Yellow Bishop's body.

But after that, all sounds disappeared completely. Even footsteps vanished. It was so quiet around that you could hear a pin drop!

"Are you sure those two arrows can really affect him?" she whispered uncertainly. The Yellow Bishop had clearly stopped moving forward for some reason, but he didn't show any signs of mental disturbance.

"I actually wanted to make him hallucinate and turn back," Adrian said with an awkward smile. "If he has some resistance to it, at first his mind might try to fight against the Battle Qi's confusing effects. But I'm confident in my Battle Qi ability! Usually there's no big problem with targets who are around my level or weaker. Of course, if he's much stronger than me, that's another story..."

Adrian couldn't risk peeking out to see what was happening. Ancient God Religion bishops were usually sixth rank or above, though they shouldn't be too much higher than that.

But just as he finished speaking, they heard the Yellow Bishop's heavy breathing echoing through the corridor. The breathing got louder and louder, quickly turning into terrible screaming. However, the screaming didn't last long before everything went quiet again.

"Is it working?"

The situation changed so suddenly that Nicola couldn't control her curiosity. She carefully peeked around the corner.

What she saw was a pile of neatly cut-up meat pieces at the end of the laser corridor. She got excited and quickly pulled Adrian back the way they came.

"Great! He must have accidentally turned off his invincibility while his mind was confused, and got hit by the laser!"

Slow and steady wins the race - and this time it worked perfectly! Although they were weaker than the Ancient God Religion, thanks to knowing the enemy's weakness beforehand, dealing with the Yellow Bishop was much easier than expected.

Thinking about this made Nicola more confident about using Adrian to fight against the Ancient God Religion's invasion.

"But why are you running so urgently? Is something wrong?" Adrian wanted to check the body, but Nicola didn't give him time. He could only follow behind her and ask.

"Don't forget there's another bishop who broke in from another area! Unlike this guy in yellow, that one might be our real threat!"

"The other one is stronger?"

This made Adrian feel uneasy.

He was starting to feel something wasn't right. To people who didn't know the full story, the Gray Bishop's methods seemed weird, but at least it showed he was afraid of the traps, and he didn't seem as impressive as the Yellow Bishop.

But the problem was - because they couldn't understand him, they couldn't tell how scary the Gray Bishop really was! After seeing what the Yellow Bishop could do, Adrian began to realize that the way the other bishop destroyed the control center from far away probably wasn't going to be easy to handle!

"That's Psionic Energy! It's a special ability different from magic - it controls all types of energy directly from their source to affect reality!" Nicola explained.

She had seen this ability used once before, by the dark angel Claudia that Michelle summoned using the converted Angel Descent Formation.

Actually, although Claudia that Michelle created using dark elements could only reach six-wing level, what made her really powerful was her Psionic Energy ability!
