Will of chaos

As far as I could tell there was no other creature coming towards me, but I had already noticed a new problem, I couldn’t identify the direction I should go, even Hinata’s vision that was right beside me was blurred due to the space being distorted.

I tried to use my Aura in the surroundings since I couldn’t trust my senses, especially my sight, but my Aura was being heavily suppressed making the distance I could push to my limit only a few hundred meters.

I came to think of using my Authority more expansively, but remembering what happened when I just blended my Aura with the environment earlier, I soon decided against using Authority more than I was currently doing when using it just as a layer around my body, this to protect against the influence of this Evil God.

As I tried to figure out which side I had come from and which side I should go to, I ended up realizing that my other Familiars weren’t with me, I could still feel them close by, but the direction was confusing, it seems it wouldn’t be so easy us together as I thought possible before.

Hinata was different because she was with me inside the bone necklace, she is also the one closest to me, so I can still maintain a better connection with her, but even so, I can feel the connection between us much weaker than usual as if something was interfering.

“< Family Summoning: Orion >” (I)

Crack

“…” (I)

“This is going to be a problem…” (I)

I tried to summon one of my familiars, I planned to summon one at a time, but just as the summoning circle formed, the space cracked around it forming a vacuum that absorbed the magic circle’s energy along with some of the surrounding energies before close, I felt that if I got any closer the space might even have broken making it dangerous even for me.

I can’t use Summoning magic and clearly, space is too fragile so it would be wise not to use techniques that affect space.

I looked around and at myself, the further away from my vision, the more the things I was seeing seemed to become an abstract painting like that that you can’t understand anything, even with my Aura being able to go only a few hundred meters in front of me there from the it was sharper than using my eyes.

“I can try…” (I)

I try to close my eyes for good, it seems like they won’t be useful in this place, so depriving a sense as important as sight can help me focus more on other senses like using my Aura.

I use my Aura’s detailed senses to assemble a mental image of the area I can perceive, as it’s only a few hundred meters in area it doesn’t cause much difficulty for my current state to keep this image in my mind, it actually became quite easy.

The image in my mind was still being affected by the different energies and the distortion or fluctuation of the surrounding space, but as it was an image created using my imagination with the information collected by my Aura, I started analyzing it using parallel thinking, it took me a few minutes to notice the movements of space which was like an ocean during a storm, but it was this comparison which gave me an idea which I used to correct the mental picture.

I had to keep parallel thinking correcting the image in real time all the time, but it worked for the most part, the image in my mind became less distorted, and it looked like a camera image in medium or low resolution with a little bit of interference like an old TV, but it was still something much easier to understand than using my eyes.

“Hinata, can you move easily in this place or perceive your surroundings without being influenced?” (I)

“Yes… but just close…” (Hinata)

“…” (I)

Talking to her is always challenging, she uses few words, so I put my hand on her head and try to share her feelings to see if it was better than the solution I had arrived at.

“I should know.” (I)

“Hinata, hold onto me the entire time and don’t pull away.” (I) .

“…” (Hinata)
