1645 Self-Harming Within an Illusion (1/2)

Edited by Aelryinth

Golden motes slowly appeared, and Bartholomew's eyes widened. He could not shift his gaze away from Apas' eyes, as if he was lost in her beauty.

Bartholomew stared at her for a long time. He felt a chill running down his spine, yet he completely ignored it. His mind was occupied with the thoughts of violating the glamorous young woman. Still, he forced himself to turn his head around.

Bartholomew noticed a deadly ice rose blossoming as soon as he looked away. Its sharp petals were only a few meters away. If he had not reacted sooner, the ice rose would have left him with plenty of holes!

Bartholomew quickly cast Rampart. The sturdy barrier stopped the deadly rose from coming any closer.

Bartholomew applied another layer of defense on himself as a safety precaution, in case his mind wandered off again.

Bartholomew regained his awareness after the close call. He glanced at Apas cautiously.

”Damn it, what just happened?” Bartholomew did not understand what kind of spell he was put under. Did he almost lose his life because he was too occupied with the young woman's charm?

The girl might be gorgeous, yet Bartholomew treated his life as more important than anything else. The woman with the Ice Element was just as gorgeous, so why was he able to remain calm? It did not make any sense!

Was it the Psychic Element?

But he did not detect the slightest trace of that magic!

Apas frowned as Bartholomew broke out in a cold sweat.

The guy actually broke free from her stare!

”You're restricting too much of my power. I can't assert control over him,” Apas blamed Mo Fan with a disgusted look.

The restrictions of the Contract between her and Mo Fan was indeed limiting her power. Otherwise, against someone like Bartholomew who was defenseless mentally, Apas could easily place him under a looping illusion with a single stare!

”Can you disturb him? At least stop him from using powerful spells like the Demon Judgment Sword,” Mo Fan said.

”I don't have an ability like that!” Apas sniffed.

Only Psychic Mages were capable of disrupting the Channeling of spells. Apas' power greatly differed from that, even though they both targeted the mind of their enemy.

”Hurry up and transform then?” Mo Fan said.

”What transform?” Apas asked with a confused look.

”Transform into your Medusa form. If you can't control his mind, bite him with your venomous fangs!” Mo Fan said.

”Do you think I'm a dog!?” Apas almost fell out with Mo Fan right away.
