Chapter 126: B2: C26: Fractured or Manipulation 2
Zarian noticed that Naomi had remained behind.
He had known this would happen. He found himself a little lost for words because he couldn’t read Naomi easily. Out of everyone, she alone could block out certain aspects of the mind spider in her head.
She could completely eliminate her emotions, thus making herself the most unreadable. She gave Zarian nothing he could work with as they watched each other.
Before Zarian found something worth saying, Naomi smoothly stood from her seat. Something in Zarian’s brain tripped up as he watched her move.
At first, he felt alarmed because he wondered how much of his mental sabotage was from Naomi’s abilities. Then he realized Naomi’s psychic magic couldn’t breach his mind so easily.
Not in a hostile way, at least.
His brain tripping was more on him, which left him confused since he had a huge amount of Willpower. His mind should be a fortress.
But Willpower was a stat that covered more than just the mind. It also touched on the spirit, too, along with emotions.
Something inside of Zarian used his own Willpower against him. His mind wasn’t completely fortified against everything because his spirit or flesh were reacting strongly.
