This was an unheard-of Supernatural Attack.
Before this, Jiang Qiao had encountered many evil entities. There had been Vicious Ghosts, ghost stories, mutated animals, and even evil gods. He had also faced all kinds of Evolvers and Awakened with Supernatural Means.
Some could cast bizarre curses.
Some possessed powerful supernatural bodies and could engage Vicious Ghosts in hand-to-hand combat.
Some could control ghosts and monsters to fight for them.
Some could even drag people into a Supernatural place, using the home-field advantage to render themselves invincible.
But.
Jiang Qiao had never encountered anyone as bizarre as Durahan.
This ability that caused people to fall asleep looked like an attack on consciousness, but it differed from ordinary consciousness-based attacks. He could still use his own supernatural power, and the sensations throughout his body had not been blocked.
He could attack the candle above him, as well as any place he judged to be dangerous.
It seemed to be nothing more than a simple ability to make people sleep.
However.
That was precisely what made it terrifying.
I attack you, but it has nothing to do with you. You can continue doing anything you want, but no matter what, you cannot change the outcome of falling asleep.
All your struggles and efforts are like another parallel line.
You can see it.
But you cannot affect me.
The drowsiness had already left Jiang Qiao in a half-dreaming, half-awake state. He struggled to maintain his consciousness, refusing to let the last trace of clarity fade away.
Because the moment it faded, he would become the next gatekeeper, just like those invaders who had entered the castle in the past.
"What a bizarre ability."
"He was right. None of the abilities I can use seem to have much effect."
