NOVPUBI was in the middle of a magical circle where I am the nucleus with my two Saints supporting me with each one with a palm on my back, they are responsible for being my connection with the pool of blood inside the Communal Temple where my Power Sacred is stored.
Caitlyn and her son were outside the magic circle, each on one side already starting to activate, we were outside the Dungeon, on the back of the Dimensional Dragon, Vanessa was nearby accompanied by Elizabeth to protect us.
"(Awful time to be anxious...)" (I)
I can have control over my emotions, but I still feel every single one of those emotions as is the case now, even after everything I’ve experienced so far I’m still looking forward to what I’m about to do even though it’s my own plan.
"Zenos, start meditating now and you two do what we talked about." (Caitlyn)
"Yes!" (Alice/Karina)
"..." (I)
Sigh
I take a deep breath calming my mind and emotions, my mind empty of all thoughts with only my will present perpetually.
Meditation was one of the first things I learned and it has accompanied me to this day, I can enter a meditative state the moment I close my eyes.
In my state of meditation, something appeared in my mind, it was the hut I built in the blood forest, my first house that I built with my little Goblin hands, I still remember the weight of each log, the struggle it took to build that with so few people and yet spend so little time in that place.
"I’ve seen this place a few times, your Wife Ibuki told me about this cabin." (Caitlyn)
"You know, I spent a short time here, it wasn’t even 1 year, from the moment of creation this cabin was thought to be something temporary, just something I built until I was able to enter a city." (I)
This time the nostalgia of those days got to me, they were easier times where my biggest concern was how to stop getting beaten in every training session I did with Diana, what would be the best training direction for Ibuki or what was the next book I would have for to read.
"I never thought I would become a Primordial Dragon, I never thought I would get involved with Gods and universal forces, I never thought I would fight on a battlefield so large that several Planets would be part of the combat strategy." (I)
"Stop the melodrama, we don’t have time, I need to explain some things to you." (Caitlyn)
"This place is the center of your consciousness, I chose the most important place in your mind and this is the place I found it, you cannot let Yntra enter here." (Caitlyn)
"Her coming here means she will be able to change your mind and even influence your Soul." (Caitlyn)
"This is her last defense barrier, the good part is that to invade this place you would have to open it voluntarily for her to enter or she would have to break your will to force her entry." (Caitlyn)
"Just as this place represents a focal point of protection for her mind, she will also possess the same thing, it will be a place of great importance to her and you will have to invade." (Caitlyn)
"She doesn’t seem like someone who’s going to invite me in, so I’m going to have to break her mind." (I)
"Yes and that will be the next topic." (Caitlyn)
"You have to understand that no type of skill or magic will actually be used, it will be purely mental techniques, it won’t even affect her vitality, so assuming you crush her entire body or manage to decimate her body, everything will be useless when your body rebuilds itself." (Caitlyn)
"Your blows can only cause mental trauma if you use your Authority and cause mirror damage to the body or Soul if you use your Essence." (Caitlyn)
"To break her mind you can use pain, madness, fear, and so on, things that extremely disturb the mind to break her will even temporarily, also remember that she will try to do the same to you." (Caitlyn)
"I think I understand, in the end, it’s just not to be shaken by anything that happens." (I)
"(I think I can’t lose control even for a second, I need to stay focused.)" (I)
I’d rather not know these things, she’s talking about tormenting someone in her mind, that’s not the kind of thing I like to do, but I can make an exception for that Yntra bastard.
"What do I need to do when I enter this special place of Yntra and how will I know it’s going to be the real deal?" (I)
"You’ll know it’s the real thing, believe me, it’s impossible not to notice it, the further you go you’ll discover you’re getting closer to it." (Caitlyn)
"When you get there, use your Divine Weapon, the image of it in your mind will not be a fake, it will just be a mirror of the power of your Divine Weapon." (Caitlyn)
"Focus your Authority and Essence together inside the place, then just reject your surroundings, doing it out here is useless, but doing it in a person’s mind will break their mind, Aura, and if they have the Authority as well." (Caitlyn)
"Is there anything else you need to know?" (I)
"This is going to be a mental battle or it would be if it were with other people, but for both of you it will be a battle of wills, it doesn’t have to be a battle, it could be a handshake, an eating contest or even sex." (Caitlyn)
"The important thing is that you suppress her will, so remember that any limitation you may think you have there is completely wrong, there are no limits, only the Essences." (Caitlyn)
I had already talked to my sister about all this and much more, I’m happy for her to go over the main points with me, but I really prefer it to be a battle, I’m not good with very complicated things.
This magic will use my mind and will to forge a sword that will pierce Yntra’s mind, so from this sword roots began to grow spreading through her, but the opposite can also happen, a magic that actually puts both of us at certain disadvantages.
"It’s starting." (Caitlyn)
"..." (I)
I didn’t even feel what was happening until it actually happened, I looked to the side seconds later noticing something outside, this perception of outside and inside was strange considering it was still in my mind, all I knew was that something was there stuck in me or maybe the opposite if I take into consideration what my sister said.
"Be... careful..." (Caitlyn)
"She’s gone." (I)
I see Caitlyn disappear as if her body was failing until she disappeared, and then I felt something trying to teach me from the outside, it was as if there were waves coming and going to hit me, I waited studying the rhythm of the attacks for a few seconds before making a movement.
Soon I gather all my Aura and Authority with a lunge to the outside focusing on a single point, I felt like I had collided with a wall of jelly trying to make me go back, but I just pushed even harder until I noticed something unfold in my front.
I was standing in what looked like an empty Spaceship, I was in the cabin until someone walked through the door, she was an Elf with green hair, golden eyes, and gray skin, a Demon tail on her back, and two horns on her forehead.
"I knew you would try something like this, but even so, this kind of long-range mental attack was beyond my expectations." (Yntra)
"You’re too calm for someone losing control of their mind." (I)
"You can’t affect my mind Zenos, I’m everywhere here." (Yntra)
"I’m all here." (Yntra 2)
"I am all things here." (Yntra 3)
"You invading my mind to fight me was foolish, I expected more from you child." (all)
Yntra began to multiply in an attempt to confuse me, several versions of her appeared from others, also from inside the ship’s computer screen, and even from my shadow behind me, each one of them talking to itself at first until they all started to talking synchronously while laughing in my direction.
There were several Auras trying to use numbers and this childish talk to affect me, meanwhile, I stretched out my hand and before I could prepare myself there were already 3 heads in my hand without her knowing how I did it, the confusion in her eyes disappeared instantly as well as came, but it was enough.
"Don’t try to think that by having thousands of minds connected to yours there is any advantage." (I)
"Once again you are as superficial as ever, always seeing without understanding the depth." (I)
As I spoke I could feel the roots spreading, the Essence Core within me was active helping to corrupt my way into Yntra’s mind and this was showing in the surroundings when a blue phone booth suddenly appeared within the Yntra control room spaceship being watched by all the Yntras who clearly didn’t understand what was happening.
"What did you do." (Yntra)
"What I wanted to do and will continue to do so." (I)
If I were able to scare her it would be perfect, if it works, Yntra shouldn’t be scared so easily, and showing this still reveals herself to be expressionless.
"Let’s see how long you will persist with this baseless truth of yours." (I)
