Chapter 308 New Ability
[[ *Skill [Three eyes] has been used on a spiritual target.
The skill has collided with the natural mental defense of the target.
The attempt to \'see through\' the target is initiated.
Processing…
…
…
Success~!
You have safely seen through the target\'s complicated mental defense.
The target\'s base race is [Fairy].
This marks the twelfth core \'kinds\' of mental defense understood by you, Eon.
My second ability, [Analysis] is now unsealed~!
With analysis, you can ask me to analyze any one thing that might even have an extremely complicated structure, once a week.
And this one is stackable~!
You know what I mean, right? Congratulations~!* ]]
It wasn\'t surprising that the processing took this much long time, but what happened after that was surprising.
\'Well, this was actually unexpected, but...\'
Analyze... that\'s actually awesome!
And if Lucy is the one analyzing something, then I don\'t have to even worry about something like an ancient artifact, divine artifact, potent herb, poison, illnesses, or even magic or skill!
To analyze something would mean to deeply gather information on something from the data we gather from other cognitive senses or by extensive research in short.
I knew what she meant by me knowing what it meant and I was actually quite surprised.
Even dwarves used complicated artifacts that might even reach the \'divine artifact\' level to analyze complicated minerals, circuits, dungeon findings, as well as organic things that are the most difficult to understand.
And Lucy just said she now has the ability to do those things... isn\'t that just awesome~!
I wanted to shout in excitement just now but this situation wasn\'t ideal.
I was in my Astral form, Rein was by my side, clueless about the reason why my grip so suddenly tightened.
Astilbe, this cute fairy with us, definitely felt something tingly, I can tell from that subtle shaking but, she didn\'t think much about it.
It was actually rare to have the ability to see through other beings in these Astral and other realms, except the two high realms of Heaven and Hell.
And usually, seeing through a fairy\'s mental defense, which is consist of some of the most diverse, complicated, and narrow channels, is almost impossible.
Without a skill like my eyes and Lucy who can share the task to observe, decode, and understand with other skills and my mind, I knew I wouldn\'t be able to actually do such a thing.
Their mental defense was different from Rein\'s grandfather\'s.
I didn\'t have to use much concentration but rather, it required an absurd understanding of \'truth\' as well as bio-magical construction.
In simple terms, this natural mental defense, which doesn\'t consist of any skills but only the intangible mind, is something like a defensive structure.
It could be a simple wooden fence, a strong wooden wall, a tall brick wall, or a thick wall like any city\'s, and this defensive structure\'s strength could go as far as an entire defensive fortress, heavily guarded with defensive structures.
Every mind is different and complicated and though she said the natural defenses \'understood\' by me, I actually didn\'t even know what they were.
Maybe she meant I knew deep inside my mind or she knew herself but, that wasn\'t important right now.
Humans: Normal humans; any mage, priest, or knight; the transcendents like Rein\'s grandfather; a blessed one like Anna, and a special one like myself.
Demonic humans, or Rakshasas.
A normal energy beast of low or mid-higher strength.
Some berserk beast like the teddy in the forest or that boar.
A close to the strongest creature like Taika or Leo.
A spirit like Clover.
A fairy like this one before me.
A dwarven or elven mind that is similarly complicated to see through has great defenses, and strong constitutions but still lacks many things to make it impenetrable, like a special overseer such as Lucy.
These twelve were most probably the ones she talked about, from my understanding. And when I counted my mental defense separately, I was genuine.
My mental defense was too different from any other normal person\'s and too strong to even be infiltrated by a skill like Rein\'s eyes. And Lucy strengthened it even further.
If I wanted to say myself, then my mind could be considered something so heavily guarded that aside from someone like the headmaster, no one can infiltrate it.
And that was only while not counting Lucy. I wasn\'t nearly strong enough to use her full power just yet.
Just like how this analysis ability came out of nowhere, I had no idea just how many abilities Lucy possessed. Maybe she herself had no idea but, that didn\'t matter. She was amazing and I just had to work hard to be strong enough to unlock all her abilities.
Well, anyway...

\'Idiot... well, I definitely am. Thanks for the advice, O\' great one. I shall follow thy wise words with my whole being.\'
This one has also grown quite a bit and now instead of cussing at me left and right, it gives cute pieces of advice like this one. Not that its speaking method has changed at all. It\'s still the same little child I know of. Anyway…
Special fares are rare.
Mostly, fairies produce golden or silver or even snow white fairy dust while fluttering their wings and this is a natural, biological process for them.
This fairy dust is a rare material for enchantments, magic research, magic engineering, or as a raw material.
And right now, even as she flapped her pink fairy wings, which weren\'t like some butterfly\'s but the pointed ones, a strange pink star-like powder was coming out of it and it just disappeared into the surroundings.
One has to collect this dust in a special container made of pure silver to actually have it. Or just like right now, it fades away in the surrounding.
They had numerous special powers and that made these fairies even more amazing~!
