Swish! Swish! Swish...
As the man in white spoke, several fire spears pierced through the space and time and rushed straight for him.
However, he didn't even bother dodging them. The fire source beast was shocked. When faced with such a terrifying attack, the man did nothing but stand with his hands held behind his back.
Then, something happened that made the fire source beast's shock deepen.
The sacred fire spears stabbed the man in white, but they flew directly through his body, leaving no marks behind.
It appeared that his body was not solid. It was illusionary.
The man in white was not afraid at all. His body was relaxed and his face was serene.
He didn't even glance at the fire source beast. Instead, he had his eyes locked on Austin.
"How is he doing that?"
the fire source beast asked, dropping all his attacks.
There was no point in continuing because his attacks couldn't hurt the man.
'Is it possible that he was never an entity at all, but only a projection?'
the fire source beast thought when he saw that the man in white was unharmed.
"Ahhh..."
Meanwhile, Austin was still roaring. This time, it was so loud that it echoed throughout the hell.
By now, Austin's body had completely changed.
He had turned into a ferocious, disgusting ghost!
However, deep in his heart, he was calm and he was still himself.
This soberness was encapsulated in a lot of mind power so the negative emotions couldn't reach it.
Because he had been eroded, Austin finally understood how so many ghosts were born.
They were all normal creatures who had been occupied by negative emotions
or evolved from spiritual souls with negative emotions one at a time.
In the ghost race, it didn't matter if they had physical bodies or not.
The core of each ghost was negative emotions.
'What? How are you not a full ghost yet?
Young man, your mind power surprises me. You have a rare talent,'
the man in white thought. First, he had been smiling at Austin, but now, he was confused.
Austin's appearance had changed into a ghost's yet his heart was not affected.
He was still conscious!
What he looked like resembled the ghost race but he was not truly one of them.
'The mind power energy works! With it, I can resist these negative emotions!'
Pain was constantly ripping through Austin's body, but his mind was able to remain clear.
'Mind power energy, mind power energy...'
Austin repeated in his head as the pain lingered for longer and longer.
At the same time, Austin quietly started to practice all kinds of secret techniques related to the mind power energy.
Under the constant attack of the negative emotions, Austin's mind power was activated to the extreme.
In fact, it felt like his level of mind power was slowly increasing during the fight to match the power of the man in white.
His level was already very high, so if it increased again, it would advance!
So Austin multitasked, using all kinds of secret techniques to cultivate the mind power under the extreme conditions
and continuing to activate his mind power to resist the attacks of the negative emotions.
The man in white gasped.
Before his very eyes, Austin's body was recovering.
All of a sudden,
all the negative emotions inside of him were gone.
A wave of relief washed over him.
Just moments ago, Austin's whole body had been invaded by endless negative emotions.
He knew that he had never experienced pain like this in his life. Every second that had passed felt as long as a year.
Now all the pain had vanished in a puff of smoke.
Austin sighed with relief and a small smile crossed his face.
His state of mind had also changed in an instant!
A feeling of enlightenment and delight swept over him.
An epiphany was on its way!
It could be said that Austin's state of mind had been reborn like a butterfly from a cocoon. The qualitative leap was right ahead of him.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
Surprise overtook Austin's face when he realized that his mind power was leveling up at an astonishing rate.
His mind power energy was also significantly stronger.
All of a sudden, he was filled with confidence and optimism. He looked straight at the man in white.
"Your dirty tricks won't work on me any longer,"
Austin said to him, smiling faintly.
"They were not dirty tricks. A creature's negative emotions are with them at birth. It all depends on how they choose to deal with them."
The man in white shook his head and looked at Austin with a complicated expression on his face.
He was feeling ashamed of himself. Not only had his attack on Austin not hurt him, but it had enhanced his state of mind and level of his mind power!
