Chapter 169: Imprisoned (2/2)

The box was deathly silent, and Aldrich could hear absolutely nothing outside of it The place was so quiet that had he been alive, he could have probably heard his own heart beating

This was another property of Null Ore

Whatever enclosed space it was lined isolated itself from the outside world It did not create a completely different dimension, but it did distort space in such away that it was extre outside of an enclosed Null

space to interact with anything within it

Aldrich had heard stories of some prisoners that went insane when they were isolated in a Null Box for too long Many of the that the sound of their heartbeats, of the gurgling and churning of their very own innards, was too loud to bear

But to Aldrich, this coe of pace froave hi since theorized this, but just based on how his abilities seeured that Null based containment methods did not work on hiard He could still circulate h his body and he could feel that if he tried, he could cast spells He iined the same went for Volantis, too His personal combat capability, therefore, was not affected by Null containment

However, Aldrich realized that he was not entirely unaffected either

What Null containment did hamper was his telepathic links He could not look into the minds of his units in a way very similar to hoas disconnected from his units when they entered a separate dimensional space like the Nexus or Necropolis

But Aldrich did not worry much He had made sure to keep mental tabs on

Casimir and Valera and their respective forces, and he had confirmed that

Casimir had made it well out of the city and Valera had entered the Nexus

By now, the Red Circle had also been reduced to ashes, leaving zero leads to ever reach back to Aldrich

This just meant that all Aldrich had to do ait Wait until he was transferred over to a proper grounded prison

There he would have one whole week to hiht have seemed like he had an entire week of isolation and silence to himself, but that could not be farther from the truth

No

Null based contain weakness: it was impossible to keep surveillance over anyone inside of it as it disrupted technology too That meant that Aldrich could do whatever he wanted while he was i hin Stone gifted to him from the

Death Lord to enter the Nexus and clear his Trial Quests

In the end, Aldrich's 'prison' would be nothing more than just a nice and isolated space to power level free of potential distractions and dangers
