Chapter 75: The Alchemist (4)
“So, you want to wield Myst?” Arkemis asked.
“That’s right,” Ketal replied.
“Huh...?” Arkemis blurted out again, her eyes wide with confusion.
“But...,” she stammered, glancing at Ketal with disbelief. The aura radiating from him was far beyond the realm of ordinary humans. It didn’t seem possible for someone like him to lack the power to wield Myst.
“You want to wield Myst?” she repeated, still incredulous.
“Is there some difference in our understanding of the term?” Ketal tilted his head, wondering why she was so fixated on his words. “I am talking about the power of Aura and mana. I want to gain that power.”
“Wait a moment. Let me check something,” Arkemis said, closing her eyes.
Ketal watched her curiously. “Is that how you sense someone’s Myst?”
“Yes, I can sense Myst embedded in one’s body,” she replied.
At a certain level of expertise, one could discern whether another person possessed Myst. Briefly concentrating, she attempted to sense Ketal’s essence.
The result left her stunned. There was no trace of Myst within him.
