Chapter 359: The Will Manifestation Rings First Activation
Seth’s forehead crumpled, his brows squeezing tight as he struggled to haul his will together, constantly mounting in flow, building force as it weighed on space.
Seth knew this idea was risky, but he had no choice, it was either this or accept eventual death, as the weapon spirit was clearly trying to crush his mind and take a hold of his body.
Focusing his will to the limit, the benefits of his practice of helping believers ascend began to rear their head, his will control was absurdly dense and concentrated.
He could direct the large flows with such delicate handling yet precise control, without a doubt Seth’s will stat was the most effective of his status.
The will surged into a mental invisible flow of storm raging against space as reality around them began to bend and warp, the space fluctuating at a fragile level.
Seth expended a dangerously high amount of willpower to pull this stunt off but it would all be worth it as long as he could access his inventory for even the slightest of seconds.
He wasn’t doing this to dismiss the weapon, no, instead it was to retrieve an item.
The moment he could get his grasp on that item, resisting the weapon spirit would be much more possible...
His eyes burst with a flickering glow, as the walls shielding him from interacting with his inventory cracked, the gleaming crack constantly spreading through the ethereal wall.
The willpower raging down, the space affinity allowing a high degree of interaction, enough for Seth to tear down the restriction, even if it was for the slightest of seconds, he released a pent-up breath of relief.
His will sank into the inventory just as fast as the block gave, spreading through the vast space his senses locked down on the item he needed...
[Item: Will Manifestation Ring]
Quickly as he locked on his target, he instantly equipped, the Unique item materializing within his palm faster than the restriction obstructing his connection with the inventory resurfaced.
[Item: Will Manifestation Ring]
[Status: Unique]
[Effects: Gives a 10,000X boost in will and its effect on the world (Beware of the weight of will that will follow!)]
One of Seth’s oldest scores from the flash sale system and one of the only ones he had yet to use to this day, not because there wasn’t a need, but out of fear for the backlash that might follow for accessing such power.
The warning sitting at the end of the item’s description glowed brightly before Seth, this was an item Seth wouldn’t even want to use his Absolute Weapon Resonance on.
After all the ring would already be providing a whopping, ridiculous 10,000x increase in will temporarily, not percent but multiplication, the implication of this was already scary enough.
Adding more might just cost even more strain on his body which would end up adding more weight to the backlash that would follow.
’Weight of will... whatever it is, I bet it won’t leave me dead.’ Coming to this conclusion internally, having only a single arm, Seth struggled for a bit before being able to fix the ring, his concentration already waning and he could feel the surge of the last vestiges of his essence rising through his veins.
And the sinister weapon did not stop, even going as far as feeding on his life force, the dark spirit letting out a cold, human-like chuckle as the force raged, slamming against the barrier of his mind, cracks beginning to spread in an instant.
The blinding pain surging almost like being shot straight to the skull, the heat burned and the piercing pain pulsed.
It was in this state that the ring activated, a sharp brilliance of ruby red glowing in the sea of gold, his fragile mind suddenly beginning to become flooded by intense flows of will pouring in from the void.
His essence unit numbers, which were already reaching dangerous single digits, suddenly experienced a sudden jump, the mental flood pouring wild, as his will was boosted to a level unseen.
Seth felt his grip and influence over reality and his closely knit affinities, time and space, began to solidify.
The pure currents empowering him with not only a mental reinforcement as the cracks along the edge of his mind began to fade into the void and his influence over reality became amplified.
Seth was suddenly overwhelmed with a weird feeling of freedom, he felt he could use his willborne abilities to the limit and still, not run short.
Well it was a 10,000X boost, his eyes settled on the stat bar...
[Will: 19,980,000]
"Ridiculous," Seth gasped, yes he did the mental math but seeing that many digits with his own eyes felt surreal, and unbelievable.
Seth felt an unnatural clarity sparking in his soul as his will was in a state of constant bloom, the sheer quantity constantly condensing, the invisible flow slowly turning visible, the golden cloak around his frame slowly tinting purple.
The flow overwhelming and bleeding wildly into the surrounding, Seth closed his eyes as the unpleasant bloated feeling settled on his soul.
His will became grander than his mind could contain, the splitting headache a lingering symptom of this side effect.
’Weight of will, huh?’ Seth thought, feeling as the overwhelming bloating current raged in his head.
The weapon spirit’s mental attacks became the least of his worries instantly.
But still Seth retained mental clarity through the load, despite the pain, his eyes slowly snapped open.
Turning a cold glance towards the glowing divine item, his will rose like a wave, the adept control barely holding the reins of the flood.
The weapon spirit felt the surge, it understood what was coming, and it tried to avoid it.
Trying to slip out of Seth’s grasp, the tables flipping as Seth regained control over his grip, tightened around the bow unwilling to let it go.
The wild influx of will surged into the weapon, as Seth focused in pain and weight stress, but his mind remained resilient as his will was overwhelming and unquenchable.
Suddenly the spirit cowered, losing ground to Seth as his mind dug into the weapon, discovering how complex the infrastructure of the divine weapon was.
Almost as complex and intricate as a lifeform, it was incredible.
But this still didn’t stop Seth from reversing the pull, the sharp flood torrent of divine energy being reversed and surging right back into his body.
His silver cells began to glow, entering an active state...
