People are scared in America, my uncle is Dante

Chapter 167 Pearl of the Moon

Suren sat on the sofa, watching Carrie carefully cleaning the glass, and shook her head slightly.

The instant she made her move, Suren felt an immense spiritual force, like a steamroller, pressing down directly on the cup.

This is indeed a sign of poor control over the force, but it is definitely not a problem of being unable to concentrate.

On the contrary, it's because the psychokinetic energy within the body is too strong.

It's like a toddler who has just learned to walk being handed a heavy sword weighing dozens of kilograms.

When he managed to swing the greatsword, the inertia and weight made it impossible for him to stop or hold it steadily.

Since Suren had Carrie and Patty learn magic and try to develop their own abilities, her mental strength, which had been suppressed for more than a decade, has grown at a rate far exceeding Suren's expectations.

It is precisely because this power is growing too fast that she is completely unable to adapt to it at this stage.

This resulted in the immense telekinetic force creating a reverse pressure, making it impossible for her to complete such a delicate operation.

At that moment, Carrie was squatting on the ground, carefully cleaning up the broken glass.

Seemingly afraid of being scolded by Su Lun, she cleaned up the glass shards quickly, muttering "almost done" and "sorry" under her breath.

Suren sighed inwardly.

This girl is too insecure. Her long-term experience of being bullied in her family and school has created a conditioned reflex in her.

Faced with anything, even when displaying her innate talent, she would subconsciously think "I am not worthy" or "I cannot do it well," and then shift all the blame onto herself.

Let's stop for a while.

Suren interrupted Carrie's actions, looking into her frightened eyes and speaking gently: "Don't take the rigid theories in the book too seriously, you have great talent."

"You can't control these things because your psychokinetic power is too great."

"This is a special case that requires you to spend a lot of time getting used to it and practicing."

After thinking for a moment, he offered a suggestion for Carrie's current situation: "You could try to control some large objects, such as abandoned cars outside or heavy lead balls."

"Once your body has fully adapted, you can gradually try smaller objects."

Hearing these encouraging words and practical suggestions, Carrie stopped what she was doing.

She looked up, her eyes glistening with tears of emotion, and nodded firmly: "Yes! I'll remember, I'll practice hard!"

After saying that, she continued cleaning up the broken glass.

Suren watched her get busy again and shook her head slightly.

Carrie is much better than when she first came to the agency. Back then, her telekinesis was completely driven by her emotions, and she would only use it when she was extremely angry.

At least now, I can control myself, which is already very good.

After taking out the trash, Carrie washed her hands and came back.

She suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "Sulen, it's almost the end of April—"

There was a hint of disappointment in her expression, but she quickly cheered up and added, "Patty said the other day that she wanted to take you to the school's spring carnival."

Upon hearing this, Suren's right eyelid twitched slightly.

American universities typically hold their annual Spring Carnival between mid-April and early May to celebrate spring and welcome the upcoming summer.

The primary purpose is to alleviate students' academic pressure.

Because after this carnival, students will immediately face their final exams for the spring semester.

Once the exams are over, around mid-May, they will be able to enjoy a long vacation of several months.

In other words, Patty will be on summer vacation in a few days.

The thought of her not having to attend classes and spending her days idly chattering away in the firm gave Suren a headache.

Night falls.

After dinner, Carrie carried the little monster that had been jumping around in the office upstairs.

Suren sat alone on the sofa, and with a slight thought, took out the Moon Pearl that the witch had given him from Silent Hill.

During the day, this thing looks like an ordinary red crystal.

But now, in the darkness of the night, it looks more like a miniature, imprisoned sun, emitting a hazy red glow.

Suren held the pearl up to his eyes to examine it, his brow furrowing slightly.

How exactly is this thing used?

Before leaving, Bayonetta teased him a bit but didn't explain how to use it at all.

He carefully recalled his memories of his past life.

If I remember correctly, this thing—in the game, it seems—is eaten directly?

Suren squeezed the pearl; it felt hard and cold to the touch, completely lacking the soft, chewy texture of jelly or capsules.

Are you really going to swallow it raw?

If it's used incorrectly and doesn't digest properly in the stomach, then there could be serious problems.

"Fine, I'll just swallow it. If it doesn't work, I'll just cut myself."

Suren stopped thinking nonsense, opened her mouth, and threw the Moon Pearl into it.

And indeed, things turned out just as he had feared.

After it entered his mouth, it didn't melt; instead, it became even smoother, and a faint red light penetrated his skin.

"Gulp."

Suren's Adam's apple bobbed as he forced himself to swallow the hard object.

This feeling is like swallowing a hard candy whole.

"Hmm"

He let out a muffled groan.

After the pearl entered the stomach, it was not digested like food, but instead exploded like fireworks!

Countless points of light, like fireflies, followed the blood vessels in his stomach and frantically drilled into every corner of his body. An extremely pure magical power instantly filled his body.

His eyes, ears, nostrils, and even his slightly open mouth uncontrollably emitted a blinding purple light.

From the outside, Suren, sitting on the sofa, looked like a human light bulb.

The light emanating from him not only illuminated the lobby on the first floor, but also shone through the glass of the office and into the outside world.

"This thing has strength—"

Suren closed his eyes tightly, gripping his knees with both hands, enduring the immense magical power surging through his body.

Fortunately, this painful process did not last too long.

After a few minutes, the swelling sensation that spread throughout my body, as if my body was about to burst, gradually disappeared.

The light emanating from him gradually subsided and disappeared beneath his skin.

"call-

'

Suren let out a long breath, leaned back wearily on the sofa, and slowly opened his eyes. A flash of purple light disappeared in an instant.

Feeling the state within his body, an uncontrollable look of ecstasy appeared on his face.

The cells in his body felt as if someone who had been starving for more than ten days had suddenly enjoyed a Manchu Han Imperial Feast, giving him a feeling of complete comfort.

When I broke through, due to my limited magic power, not much magic power could be integrated into my cells. In fact, a large part of my cells were in a state of starvation and did not contain any magic power, or only a trace of it.

Now, with the energy of the Moon Pearl flowing into him, every cell in his body is filled with magic.

This means that Suren will no longer have to worry about insufficient magic power when she activates her demon form in the future.

Suren reached out his hand, and purple light emanated from his palm.

A purple longsword, entirely formed from magic, appeared.

With the support of magic, he no longer needed to painstakingly consider issues such as structure and stability as he had done in his previous practice.

A brick flies with direct force!

He looked at the longsword in his hand that emitted a purple light, and loosened his fingers.

The longsword did not fall due to gravity, but instead, guided by his will, it hovered quietly beside him.

Immediately afterwards, Suren raised his hand again, and another identical longsword materialized and slowly floated to the surface.

"This must be... the Phantom Sword?"

With my current magic and mental power, I can gather even more.

With more practice and improved proficiency in multitasking, these longswords can be used to attack enemies from different angles in actual combat, creating openings for oneself.
