36 Chapter 36: Mind Control (2/2)

I push her against a pipe first and then lock her hand cuffs to another one and then locked those handcuffs to a wall. Apparently my time for Ashura Berserk is about to end.

And the countdown began...

[10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...0!]

[Do you wish to RE SPAWN?]

[YES/NO]

Location Set: New York Presbyterian Hospital (1st Floor)

The reason why I choose to respawn on the first floor instead of the first is to check and see what Julie will do after I escape. I need to check whether or not the survivors under her control will help her out. If they help her out and don't slice the doctors throats then her power can be used to issue commands without saying anything.

I know that she will probably be surprised with me suddenly disappearing so she'll definitely be on high alert so in order to force her to use any skill she might have I'll set the building ablaze, although there are still a lot of things I can scavenge from the hospital like the food on the first floor or the equipment which I can use for the first few months. But none of that is as important as finding out how Julie's mind control skill works.

If I can understand the in's and out's of her skill then I can find out limitations of it.

All skills have a limit or a disadvantage. Even respawn has one which is the fact that you can't respawn when you aren't dead. So for her mind control skill there is definitely a weakness. Although the more you use the skills the stronger they become and that in turn helps plug up the weakness.

But the skill Mind Control which Julie has is only at it's first stage and she has most likely yet to fully understand and be in control of the skill.

Right now is the best time for me to figure out the limitations of her skill.

I set the entire first floor a blaze. Due to already turning off the water the sprinklers systems don't do anything. The fire doesn't show any sign of stopping as I had also left a trace amount of gasoline in the stairwell leading towards the third floor.

I quickly make my way up the stairs to the third floor through a different staircase. When I get up here I am surprised... apparently the kid which had gone missing had pulled the plug from his mothers mouth.

That in turn had given the witch back are powers.

But I can still observe how she uses her powers right now.

I can see that the remaining survivors were trying to unlock her hand cuffs with a paper clip which they found off the desk but are failing miserably.

I'm about 99% sure that she can't command the controlled telepathically meaning no way to make orders to people she can't reach. So if she was to control any of my men I would be able to simply lock them up and as long as I prevent them from suicide before I kill her then they would cease to be under her control.

Something good to know.

I look at the child by her side and it seems that he hasn't been controlled for he is still moving about quite freely,

This means that she has control over her skill! So it also means that her skill won't simply target all the people she speaks to passively and rather it is as skill that she needs to will.

There is also a good thing to know about such a skill and that is the fact that a skill which is willed is something that requires mana to use, The mind control skill requires mana which means taht mana has a connection between her and her target meaning I might be able to cut her connection with her targets if I was to disrupt the targets flow of mana meaning as long as the mana frequency that her targets have is disrupted her control over them might also be erased.

Of course that is only a guess and has yet to be proven.

But it is a good start to understanding her powers.
