Ian grabbed his head, trying to soothe his tense nerves, but to no avail. The pain was real, as it was more intense than the physical one.
Fortunately for Ian, this time, he only used a tiny strand of his mental power to test the waters.
If he had used the normal method, even if he hadn't become dumb from the heavy destruction of his mental power, he would have been seriously injured.
His cautiousness saved his life.
"There is indeed something fishy about it."
Ian cursed as getting mental power brutally destroyed wasn't a good feeling, even if it was a tiny portion.
So, he hurriedly rummaged through all the inheritances he got from the trial and stuffed all those that were useful to his mouth absorbing them in a hurry.
"Hah..."
Still, it took Ian nearly half an hour to recover.
'It seems Ethereal form isn't invulnerable, huh.'
