Anger churned inside Cui Ciyou, but stronger still were a profound sense of helplessness and disgust.
He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
Cui Ciyou's mind raced.
His mental power was more intensely focused than ever before.
The familiar black-and-white Perception World took shape in his mind.
But this time, he tried to extend and concentrate his mental power in an entirely new way.
Mental power... isn't just for perception... it's a kind of "power" in its own right...
Cui Ciyou recalled that his Anti-Magic Field, which could nullify magic power, was fundamentally another special application of mental power.
What about a purer, more direct application of mental power?
Back in Roa City, when he had faced the enemy holding Alice hostage...
Cui Ciyou had already entertained a vague idea.
If I could interfere directly with the enemy's thoughts, even for just an instant...
That's it! That's the feeling!
A flicker of understanding crossed Cui Ciyou's eyes.
He stopped trying to find an opening in Giles's physical defenses.
Instead, he focused his entire will on Giles's brain.
An invisible, indescribable pulse suddenly erupted from Cui Ciyou!
Telekinetic-Shock!
This was not a technique name he shouted aloud.
Rather, it was a definition that naturally surfaced deep within Cui Ciyou's consciousness as he released that mental force.
At that instant, Giles Curina was still basking in the pleasure of having everything under his control.
He felt as though an enormous invisible hammer had slammed into his brain.
Violent dizziness and piercing pain swept through his entire consciousness.
Giles's vision went black, and his mind briefly went blank.
His arms, which had held his sword and the girl in a tight grip, involuntarily slackened for an instant.
Although this mental shock lasted less than half a second...
For elite warriors
