Chapter 215 - Scar of Flame
Running in flight over the rubble of Milishion, Rygar had an idea.
The sacred capital had tried to induce him into madness and loss of control in some way.
The moment the blow struck him, he had felt nothing—since his senses had been sealed almost simultaneously.
But now, with his perception of time slowed due to his eyes’ ability and his mind reorganizing amid the chaos, he could analyze the situation clearly.
The origin of that magical effect that tried to hit him was, most likely, an ability of the blade that had pierced his chest.
The red energy that invaded his mind had flowed exactly from that point. Even without feeling pain, even without tactile or clear vision at the moment, the deduction was easy.
If Milis wanted to throw him out of control... why not play their game?
They seemed to have no knowledge at all of his mind‑protection magic: Mental Block.
After all, that was an Emperor‑level spell that shielded his mind against external influences. But, looking from another angle, how on earth would they know?
The warriors of Milis could have perceived this if any of them had a Demon Eye of Magic Power, but, of course, the kingdom’s religious repulsion toward such gifts prevented them from having such users.
It was truly unfortunate for them.
Still, that worked in his favor. He could pretend to be affected, pretend the dagger had worked.
