Seeing Sean Chandler charge over, a savage, triumphant grin spread across Hunter Lowe’s face. He brazenly activated his Talent.
[Brainwashing]!
An invisible yet exceptionally chilling wave of Spirit Power instantly crossed the distance. It attempted to force its way into the depths of Sean Chandler’s consciousness, twisting his perception and searing an imprint of absolute obedience onto his spiritual core.
Sean Chandler’s charge came to a sudden halt. He stiffened for a brief moment, and his eyes seemed to glaze over.
Justin Brooks, who was struggling against the insect swarm, glimpsed this, and his heart sank.
’This is bad!’
"Damn it! Don’t tell me Mr. Chandler fell for Hunter Lowe’s trick too?! If even he’s under Control, we’re completely finished!"
Justin Brooks knew how terrifying Hunter Lowe’s Ability was. He was overcome with anxiety, already bracing himself for the worst-case scenario: fighting both the insect swarm and a controlled Sean Chandler.
However, Seraphina Sullivan, who stood behind the window, wasn’t the least bit worried about the [Brainwashing].
Compared to this external Mind Control, the [Spirit Mutation Spider Silk] she had used on Sean Chandler early on had already fundamentally transformed him into her absolute puppet. The priority and stability of its Spirit Link far surpassed Hunter Lowe’s Brainwashing Ability.
Any external Mind Control, hypnosis, or Brainwashing-type Effects would be automatically blocked or nullified by the Power of the [Spirit Mutation Spider Silk] before they could even reach Sean Chandler’s core.
The stiffness and dazed look Sean Chandler was exhibiting were a complete act, an illusion meant to lull his opponent into a false sense of security and close the distance!
"Haha! It worked! Get over here!"
Seeing Sean Chandler stop, Hunter Lowe’s face lit up with ecstasy and extreme confidence. He smugly beckoned him over.
Under Justin Brooks’s horrified and nearly hopeless gaze, Sean Chandler did as he was told. With a slightly stiff gait, he walked step by step until he stood right before Hunter Lowe.
’The worst has happened after all...’ Justin Brooks’s heart sank to the abyss. Gritting his teeth through the pain of his injuries, he frantically tried to figure out how to deal with both the insect swarm and a powerful, controlled Player.
Hunter Lowe gazed at Sean Chandler, who was now right in front of him, like a perfect masterpiece. He was so excited he could barely contain himself, eager to savor the thrill of dominating someone so powerful.
He opened his mouth, ready to issue his first command, "Now, go and..."
But before he could finish the command,
everything changed in an instant!
Sean Chandler, whose eyes had been "vacant," suddenly flared with cold, murderous intent!
He moved with ghostly speed. Hunter Lowe didn’t even see it happen before a cold, powerful hand clamped around his throat like an iron vise.
"Ugh?!?!"
The ecstasy on Hunter Lowe’s face instantly froze, replaced by utter horror and disbelief.
His eyes bulged from the shock and lack of air. "Im... pos... sible! How... are you... not... under... my... Control?!"
A subtle, yet ice-cold smirk formed on Sean Chandler’s lips.
He didn’t waste a single word, nor did he give Hunter Lowe any time to struggle or even think.
CRACK!
A crisp yet sickening sound of breaking bone rang out.
Sean Chandler applied his strength without hesitation, activating [Monster Power].
He cleanly and decisively snapped Hunter Lowe’s neck!
The look of shock and terror was permanently frozen on Hunter Lowe’s face. His body went limp and crumpled to the ground, the light in his eyes rapidly fading to nothing.
Watching from the window, Seraphina Sullivan felt not the slightest ripple of emotion.
She would never allow such a threat to survive—not someone with a dangerous control Ability who was clearly hostile toward them.
Sean Chandler might be immune to Brainwashing thanks to the Spirit Mutation Spider Silk, but she herself had no such defense.
’As I thought. I need to find some Skills or equipment that can defend against Mind Control and soul attacks as soon as possible.’
