BXBX NOVEL Chapter 218 Fear Of Death
"Yshika, Yashika" The audience cheered in joy when Rishi looked at the atmosphere. It reminded him of when Kajal entered the Battle Arena; he shook his head and decided to focus on the Strange Silver colored Magic Beast in front of him and to his surprise, he couldn't identify this Magic Beast.
He sighed and activated the 'Inspect' skill not wasting even a second, And soon a window appeared before him.

A hint of shock appeared on Rishi's face before disappearing, As expected from a genius from Rathore Clan. Royalty's pride and presence couldn't be hidden no matter how much one tried to hide; the meaning of the word Rajput was 'Descendent of King.' This presence was now clearly shown instead of demotivating, motivated him even more to obtain the clan's inheritance; he had seen this similar presence from his father and grandfather, which meant she had awakened her bloodline.
The black-haired girl, indifferent to multiple Gazes looking at her with hints of Greed, Envy, and Admiration, commanded her contract Beast "Sword Transformation" Her voice was icy, without a hint of emotion. This terrified one; what had she experienced to be so cold at a much younger age?
Even Rishi was taken aback by her voice; he looked at her and felt he could not sense her cultivation. His heart skipped a beat; he believed till now that she was only one or two levels higher than him in cultivation, but when he used 'inspect' on her.
A blank status window appeared before him.
[NAME: Yatika Rathore
LEVEL: ??
JOB-CLASS: ??]
'What the.. Yatika, not Yashika' he was confused for a second before his breath became heavy; he had unknowingly found out a secret. He didn't know her real identity, but from what he could guess, connecting the dots, she was not simple; this Sword Beast might have been acquired by her later, thus having low cultivation.
The frown had not even appeared on his lips completely from the disappointment when he sensed a killing intent emitted towards him; He felt as if someone had thrown a bucket of ice-cold water on his head. The situation was terrible; he had been caught red-handed and knew he had invited big trouble for himself, but who was he? If she was so great, then he was also not a nobody, Others might be afraid of her but he was not one of them.
It was not that he was not afraid, but he had complete confidence that she would not make any rash move that might reveal the things she was trying so hard to hide; his Body froze from the pressure radiated upon him. While the others didn't know what was happening, he felt as if he was about to die any second; what is this? Why can't I move?
He panted this feeling; It looked familiar; he tried to recall and soon guessed what it was. This is intent; it looks like Killing Intent has locked me, and she has released in anger, but this was not the real surprise. What surprised him most was that only he was feeling like this. The people around him were acting normally.
Oh shit, I am in trouble. How could one be so powerful to affect someone so much from such a long distance and be so precise? His heart was beating like a drum.
'Lup-Dup' 'Lup-Dup' 'Lup-Dup'
His hearbeat started to rise with time; no, I can't let this happen; I will. He was even unable to breathe. If things continued like this he might burst apart. Naturally, it was impossible, but it may be possible when taking Killing Intent into consideration.
Shit, If I die like this, it will be the worst death in human history, and the reason is so bullshit that even Devils in hell will laugh at me; such shame can not be washed no matter what you do.
No, I think Rishi think there might be a way, I have sensed even the presence of Spirits way above this girl, but I survived. There might be a way.
He activated his 'Extreme Focus' skill, and his brain started thinking of ways; he suddenly started gathering data about Intent and recalling everything he knew about them. He needed to increase his brain's thinking speed by 500% to do it in time. To achieve it, he sacrificed 80% of his mental energy; his eyes shone in a unique golden glow, and a strange golden circular symbol appeared in them.
He felt the time had stopped for a while but when he looked clearly he realized that time had not stopped but his thinking speed is increased by so much that he could feel time passing through his eyes, generally he increased his thinking speed by 200% and was able to think for two seconds in one second time.
Extreme Focus not only increased the thinking speed but also increased the efficiency of problem-solving speed, data
collecting speed, Memory, Analyzing, Imagination, etc. also increased; when one millisecond was passing for others ten were passing for him.
His brain was overworked and he started feeling pain and dizzy but he continued; he quickly analyzed the principles of Intent and understood that it was Will plus Desire. She was using her will to make him submit; she was guiding her will inside his Body and controlling him through it. It was a psychological intent that interferes with the opponent's mind and made him believe he was about to die, It was fake and an illusion but Rishi gulped the result was not like that.
He was lucky that she was only releasing a faint intent to stop others from detecting what she was doing; according to his calculations if she increased the power of her Intent even a bit she would be unable to mask it and even if she were able to she would not be able to control it and focus it only onto Rishi. The others around him will also be affected by this and this will reveal to others that she is trying to harm him and the people around him.
As more time passed his situation started getting worse, physically he was in perfect condition but he was exhausted mentally but even in such a dire situation he didn't lose hope. He finally found a way to escape this tragedy, A small red-colored orb the size of a dust particle shone. The closer he was to death and the more he resisted, the more his belief grew, the more his belief grew the more the red orb grew. Finally, it stopped growing and started releasing a faint red presence inside his Body; he could not see it but could feel it.
If it was any other person he might not have been able to use their will instantly but Rishi was different; he was already aware of what to do, his experience in controlling his weapons with telekinesis-like powers and having ample experience of controlling 'Chains of Shadow' he was able to crack the code and started trying to control his will.
He first tried to use it but found out that even when he could move it he could not utilize it to repel the foreign killing intent; as more time passed he started thinking of a solution. His whole brain now started thinking of the solution of this particular problem.
He could hear the clock ticking and his death coming closer; he gritted his teeth unwilling to give up. When only five milliseconds were left and he was about to faint due to overwhelming trauma and stress, he suddenly remembered that he didn't have any spell to determine the actions of his will.
In situations like this one needs to depend on their imagination; when three milliseconds were left he came up with a good imagination. He imagined a lamp radiating red light and dispelling the black smoke; he tried but failed only one second left.
He sighed and used all his strength to command the orb to fulfill his desire, Act as a lamp, and remove all the black foreign substance from his Body. His Body shook from the pressure he put on his mind; his vessels stretched in tension. Even his enchanting purple eyes were not spared small red vessels appeared and tainted them; he felt a pain all over his Body and as if on his last breath said "Disperce".
The red orb inside him shone and at the last moment removed all the killing intent inside his Body; his whole Body shook he felt a headache on his head as if someone was drilling inside it but instead of feeling Agony, His lips curled up and formed a smile.
