This life-saving journey has been full of weirdness from the very beginning.
Dean recalled it, reviewing it in his mind.
First of all, why does he feel crowded when entering the mist world?
Although he was traveling through space, he still felt the squeezing feeling on his body, which was too strong to ignore. Even though Dean had known for a long time that his ability was not as simple as "teleportation", he couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity.
If Kana had made the "hole" smaller at that time, it would be a trivial matter if he couldn't teleport through, but he might have been directly blocked in it or squeezed a few ribs, which would have been a lot of fun.
Now that I think about it, I really escaped.
Subconsciously touching his still healthy bones, Dean's body seemed to feel a phantom pain along with the memory.
Thanks to Tocana, this was the first time that he had such a profound understanding of the process of activating his ability. What was originally completed in an instant, was infinitely slowed down by the barrier of the mist world and broken down into several steps. Although the process is dangerous, the rewards are also huge.
Especially at the moment of separation, Dean suddenly understood. Many questions that had puzzled him before suddenly had answers.
This is naturally not a normal space transfer process. The occurrence of this situation can only mean that the channel has become an existence closer to an "entity" for him at that time.
It's like building a door in the mist world. In terms of nature, it is not to break it with brute force, but to use the small opening itself as a medium to allow him to pass through, thus also limiting the objects that can pass through. size.
That led to that situation.
And this also made Dean completely convinced that his "teleportation" was traveling through the shadow world.
And this shuttle ability will be limited by the number of surrounding Shadow Dolls.
Therefore, his ability can always be used to its best in area 13.
Another point is why only he felt the squeeze, while the shadow dolls on his body were not affected.
This has nothing to do with body size. After all, according to the situation at that time, the Shadow Dolls were already attached to his body, enveloping Dean in a big circle.
Logically speaking, with this distribution, the Shadow Doll in the outermost layer should be more affected than him.
The result was exactly the opposite. The Shadow Dolls felt almost nothing, but it was him who reacted so loudly that he was out of place.
Dean guessed that it was most likely related to their identity as familiars. Their special physiques that were compatible with the power of shadow, and their talents that were highly compatible with it, made them far more adaptable to this kind of shuttle than humans, and they didn't have too many worries.
Unlike his mortal body, who has no way to make ends meet and is in danger of being crushed into a meat pie at any time, there are many more things to consider.
Then came the second point that was beyond Dean's expectations: the strength of the enemy.
His original judgment was that the opponent's strength would not be too strong. Until now, Dean still insisted on his conclusion, but it should not be that the strength was not strong enough, but that the strength shown was not strong enough.
Obviously, the owner of the unknown power is in a very problematic condition, which greatly limits its performance, causing the opponent to only be able to show part of its original strength.
What makes people have to be afraid is that even this part almost pushed him into a desperate situation.
Although it would get to this point, it was also because he miscalculated and entered the opponent's territory rashly, giving the enemy a home advantage. However, the strength and rank of the unknown force should not be underestimated.
It was powerful beyond his imagination and knowledge.
Dean looked up at Lensak, emphasizing the fact that he was being terrorized by a giant eye.
He described it in great detail, and Lensak listened attentively. After Dean finished explaining the existence of eyes, he made a stop gesture and interrupted.
"Sit there and don't move."
After saying that, Rensak opened the drawer, took out a mirror and stood on the table.
This is a mirror engraved with many "eye" patterns. It is uneven and oddly shaped. Especially with the injection of energy, those eyes seem to come alive. Dean can even feel them looking at him.
It's disgusting.
His eyes swept across those smart eyes, and he looked at the mirror. The self inside was not the same as what he usually saw when he looked in the mirror.
Dean stared at the mirror for a long time, his eyes were sore, but he didn't see anything strange.
"This should mean there's no problem, right?"
"Theoretically...that's it."
Lensak turned the mirror over and looked at himself reflected on it, thoughtfully.
Dean, who was actually disgusted with this Riddler behavior, asked, "You think that's a 'mark'?"
"No, quite the opposite. I don't think... it did anything to you."
Dean met Lensak's gaze, raised his eyebrows in surprise, and motioned for him to continue.
"It just 'sees you'."
Lensak put away the mirror and spoke very calmly, as if he was just talking about an insignificant matter.
There is a kind of calmness that remains unchanged despite the collapse of Mount Tai.
"It's okay. You can tell the specific level of the enemy by looking at what you will encounter next."
Dean:?
Do people say it?
Does anyone care whether I live or die?
He instantly felt that something was wrong, and getting the answer was more of a relief than not getting the answer.
Lensak was still analyzing.
"The closed eyes indicate that it is not awake at this time. An unconscious enemy is dangerous and weak. Being targeted by such a being may be a challenge for ordinary people, but for you, It shouldn’t be much of a threat.”
"With any luck, we can also use this to increase our understanding of it..."
Your back doesn't hurt when you sit and talk, right?
Dean had the illusion of being flattered.
It seems that he came here to find out about the unknown power from Lensak. Why did he go around in a circle and this key point still fell on him?
Is someone pUAing him?
Dean used his trump card, "What are your guesses about its identity?"
"Level? Rank?"
Lensak instantly lost his temper.
"...You can guess for yourself, but I can't give you any response."
"Nodding and shaking your head?"
Lensak was silent.
He didn't expect that he could bargain on this kind of thing.
You don’t think you are very humorous, do you?
The two looked at each other for a moment and realized that Dean was really considering the feasibility of taking advantage of the loophole. An indescribable expression appeared on Lensak's face.
"...I don't recommend you do this. If the oath is so easily broken, the 'Keeper of Secrets' might as well hang himself with a rope in front of the palace."
