Chapter 145 - Power of Intent

The two Elders couldn't control the volume of their voices, as many of the other Elders glanced at each other before turning towards the Clan Leader.

The expression of shock on his face was even greater than the two Elders whom had "figured" out Arthur's power.

They had never experienced Intent, or Spatial Laws before, so it was easy to confuse the two. Knowing that Spatial Laws were some of the most complicated and unfathomable Laws in existence, they, with their limited understandings, believed that Arthur had crossed than impenetrable barrier.

Everyone in the crowd, from the small three year old little boy in the front row, to an elderly man whom was near the very ends of his life, all went wide eyed, and felt their jaw drop as they tried to follow the brightly coloured beam of light.

They didn't know what just happened, but they saw Alina dodge the attack before it came back around and hit her in her upper chest. There was a bit of blood, but not enough to presume it was a fatal wound.

All eyes were on Arthur as he gazed down at the fading glyphs and runes on his arm, his eyes fully focused on the seed of Intent within him.

Even Randolf down in his seat couldn't help but feel some sort of fear as he gazed towards Arthur.

'That attack just now.... how would I even block such a thing!?'.

Arthur just ignored everything around him, as he closed his eyes.

The Intent within his body was still immature, yet its power was immense.

It could.... "twist".... or "bend" certain points in space, causing something that should've gone in one direction to suddenly turn towards another.

Arthur wanted to see if it would work on a human being, but for the time being, experiments into such things would have to be put on hold.

Everyone had just seen him use his Intent, and even if he didn't want anyone to see it, the battle with Alina, and his unrelenting onslaught against her was the catalyst to him forming an Intent.

It might've taken him even longer for it to form, if he had ignored it, or suppressed it within him.

He had already started to lay his future plans, and now that his Intent had formed, he was even more resolute of his future actions.

Dismissing his halberd fae, Arthur turned towards Alina, whom was clutching her shoulder as her grandfather helped her to her feet. Elder Zarek turned towards Arthur, and gave him a small nod.

"Thank you for being lenient against my granddaughter".

His figure, just like Elder Velika flickered before vanishing.

One of the referees, one with a little more control over himself, blinked a couple times before raising his arm and pointing at Arthur.

"The winner of the match is..... Arthur Kovacs!".

There was a slight pause in the air before the crowds roared with an unbridled amount of cheers and shouting.

"Holy shit! What the hell was that!?".

"I've never seen a Fae that can do that before!".

"The beam bent!? How the hell can someone do that?!".

A few of the Fae Masters within the Village remained silent, although their faces were slightly pale in the face of Arthur's attack.

"Was that a Space Attributed Fae?".

"I mean, it must be. How else would you explain that attack?".

"I don't know.... the power.... as well as the symbols around Arthur's arm.... it seemed too powerful for such a single fae.... It was almost like watching Elder Vova, or Elder Anatol use their Attribute Control Skills....".

One of the more perceptible Fae Masters commented.

When they heard his words, many of the other Fae Masters nodded, before coming to a realization.

'Wait.... does that mean that Arthur comprehended a Law, and then imbued it into his Attribute Control Skill?'.

Since it could bend the beam, it either meant that it was some sort of Light Law, or Moon Law.... or perhaps even an extremely powerful Spatial Law?

Shivers crept up their spines as they gazed down at the monster below them.

'This guy.... is he even human?', they thought.

Arthur took a deep breath before getting off the stage and walking back towards the seating area. The stage had been ruined thanks to him, and some of the other Fae Masters needed to fix it before it was ready to fight on again.

He didn't even so much as glance at Randolf, as he sat down in another seat, focusing on the flow of Intent within him.

His next opponent looked at Arthur, with apprehension in his eyes.

'Shit! What the hell am I going to do!? Am I going to have to use "that" after all?'.

Arthur felt the faint seed of Intent move between the gaps of his origin essence seas. It was a power that was both compatible and incompatible with origin essence.

It could be used in tandem alongside Fae, whose ability had been activated with origin essence, however, cannot exist within origin essence seas.

When it flows through an origin essence sea like Arthur did earlier, it was to be used in conjunction with an Attribute Control Skill.

This particular use of Intent, was both the easiest, as well as the most commonly used method of utilizing Intent. Enhancing the strength of an Attribute Control Skill, or perhaps its versatility, depending on the type of Intent was a benchmark for strength in some Sects in the Thirty Three Heavens.

Especially those whom mainly consisted of members of the Myriad Races.

The seed of Intent that Arthur had formed just before was the lowest, and the most undeveloped type of Intent.

It was an Intent that had only just been formed, and only its ability could be discerned. Nothing other than that, its name, its Attribute, its limits, its variations, or even its applications could be found. To some degree, even its strength was limited.

Arthur's Intent, was "twist" or perhaps "bend". The finer points were still unable to be discerned.

The "Silver Waning Moon" he had used had its strength enhanced greatly, although Arthur suppressed it, lest he killed Alina right in front of everybody.

If he let it go full strength, he might even be able to kill Rank 3 Fae Master that didn't specialize in defensive type Fae.

The attack might get cancelled out by an even stronger one, but since it could bend around objects, Arthur's attack was sure to hit.

He noticed Dominic and Leon try and move towards Arthur, but he glanced at them, and mouthed the words "I'll tell you later". Arthur turned towards his Father in his seat above the main platform before nodding and giving him a small honest smile.

The shock on his Father's face was still evident, but after seeing his son smile and nod at him, Niklos felt a surge of pride well up from deep inside of him.

Even if the Clan did lose the Sovereign Boundary Physique.... they perhaps gained a strength that even rivalled those all-powerful existences!

Little did he know.... that the Clan never lost the Boundless Forest Yearning....
