Chapter 87: Very Close
Harper, being the oldest, took charge in Leander's absence.
"The mental artifact is classic training, used by all the strongest clans," she explained to Darian. "It puts us in a world inside our own minds, where we can use our imagination to think and come up with new ways to use our blessings. Inside that world, you can still manipulate your ring power and blessing to run tests."
"There's a time limit, though, because staying in your mind too long leaves you totally drained. That's why we only go for two hours and then do some group training after. So really, Leander being gone doesn't change anything."
Darian nodded, understanding.
Everyone sat down in the center of a training platform. Harper brought out a small, round, purple object. When she activated it, a strong violet light covered everyone there.
Immediately, Darian found himself in a dark world.
It felt like his soul had entered a completely different space. But since everyone's power was tied to their soul, he could still use everything easily.
The difference was, back in the Divine Protection Universe, as a Spiritual Guardian bound to a summoner, he could only use one-third of his power. Now, in his real body, he could use everything at full capacity.
'I managed to do some weird stuff with my power in that universe. It was all instinct—I didn't even know I could do that. Maybe now, with my full strength...'
Darian remembered the moment Niara absorbed his white and black power.
That mental world reacted like he wanted to see her. Right away, a subtle distortion occurred, and a figure appeared in front of him.
