"Is the spiritual domination complete now?"
Having witnessed Ophelit being dominated by Reiger’s magic, Antie was stunned there for a long while, almost unable to react.
Even Nipede stared at Reiger’s back, visibly lost in thought.
Spiritual domination was not an uncommon phenonon.
In the continent of Akasha, similar spiritual magics existed, including those that could manipulate minds and mories.
Nipede himself had mastered several types of such magic, so the fact that Reiger could utilize spiritual domination was not surprising.
However, magics like the spiritual series, mind control series, and mory manipulation series were usually possessed by court magicians, not easily accessible to the commoner, and secondly, such magic might work well against ordinary people, but were typically less effective against nobles and individuals from powerful families.
Because these major forces have many secrets and confidential information that cannot be exposed lightly, they usually consider the possibility that internal mbers might reveal critical secrets when subject to spiritual domination or other manipulations, and thus take preventive asures.
For instance, in the Kingdom of Ginas, the royal family practiced the War King Sword Skill, which inherently stimulated spiritual power and improved resilience against spiritual domination.
Similarly, influential nobles had their ans, so carrying magical artifacts that could ward off spiritual magics, others consuming magic potions from childhood to strengthen ntal resistance or setting specific traps against ntal magic on their persons. So more radical forces would even employ malevolent spells on their mbers that, upon interference by spiritual, mind, or mory-based magic, would instantly trigger and destroy the individual’s brain to prevent the leakage of internal secrets.
Therefore, the more significant the individual’s status, usually, the more asures or resistance they possessed against such magic.
Ophelit, as the eldest son and heir of the Hadiete family, a scion of the Earl’s lineage, surely had ans to resist such spiritual magic.
Even Nipede, facing such an Ophelit, would not confidently claim he could successfully dominate him spiritually - even court magicians specialized in interrogating major criminals would need to prepare, using ritual artifacts and other ans to bolster their magic before they could achieve such an effect.
Yet, Reiger succeeded in an instant, causing Nipede, a grand magician renowned for his accomplishnts in interference magic, to feel incredulous.
What Nipede did not know was that Reiger had also enhanced the effect of his magic before using it.
There existed a certain magical enhancent effect, known as magic resistance difficulty enhancent.
As the na suggests, this enhancent made the caster’s magic harder to resist, allowing their spells to break through an opponent’s defenses and take effect.
When employing such an enhancent, if the enemy did not possess greater ability than the caster, then even if they had so resistance to magic, it would be rendered ineffective.
For example, if soone had resistance to fire-type attacks and could mitigate damage from such attacks, if their abilities were not stronger than Reiger’s, then Reiger could use [Magic Resistance Difficulty Enhancent·Fireball] to inflict severe damage on them, breaking through their resistance.
This was why Reiger could quickly complete the spiritual domination of Ophelit.
His [Human Charm] had been applied with magic resistance difficulty enhancent, rendering ordinary counterasures ineffective.
Therefore, Ophelit was dominated so swiftly.
Reiger approached Ophelit and began his questioning.
"I ask you, were those attackers associated with you?"
The answer ca almost within a second.
"Yes."
Ophelit’s expression was dull, yet his tone was unusually relaxed and comfortable, as if chatting with a close friend.
However, his words changed the expressions of everyone around them.
Especially the knights bound by magic, who widened their eyes.
Reiger, on the other hand, was not surprised and continued his inquiries.
"Who are they?"
"I don’t know."
"...You don’t recognize them?"
"No, they were just helping with tasks, who they are isn’t important to ."
"So, you employed them, but you don’t know their details, right?"
"Exactly."
"What about that attendant you ntioned, Jack?"
"He isn’t my attendant. Those people sent him to stay by my side, saying that I could make requests to Jack anyti as long as I was willing to offer a satisfying reward, and they would send soone to handle the tasks I assigned."
"Who are these people you speak of?"
"I don’t know. A few years ago, they suddenly sent Jack to contact , and since then, Jack has been with . I’ve only heard about the people behind him from Jack; it was those people who took an interest in and specifically sent soone to collaborate with , but who they are, I don’t really know."
The words of Ophelit made everyone present, including Reiger, exchange bewildered glances.
