Manaless Mage-Chapter 286: Memory Manipulation

With that out the way, Harry proceeded to check out some other skills which also interested him.

"Influence," He said, calling out the next skill that came to his mind.

Though he could summon up the description just fine by thinking about it alone, he still voiced it out.

He was currently alone in his house, so he could do whatever he wanted without having to worry about anyone seeing him as a weirdo.

=====

[Influence]

—You can issue a mental command to anyone as long as your mental stats is higher than theirs.

They would have no choice than to listen to you, and you could command them to do anything you want.

Note: Skill requires eye contact to fully activate.

=====

When Harry saw the description of this skill, he gasped in shock—he had already lost track of how many times he had done that by now.

A skill that allowed him to control anyone he wished, so long as he had a higher mental stat than they... it was nothing short of overpowered!

Though there was the fact that it could only work through eye contact, it didn’t make it any less powerful.

While Harry never thought of himself as the ’controlling’ type, it didn’t mean he couldn’t see the power of this skill.

Ever since he unlocked the "mental" stat, he felt that it was only meant for him to resist mental attacks.

There were some high-level beasts with traits so powerful that they could totally command anyone to do their bidding, as long as they were stronger than their target.

However, such beasts were extremely rare, especially since adventurers usually targeted them before they grew more powerful.

An ability to command someone to do whatever you wanted was dangerous, even in the hands of a wild beast. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

No one wanted to take the risk of humanity turning slaves someday due to the power of just one beast.

But to think he would also gain an ability similar... no, even more powerful than that!

He couldn’t help but wonder what the AMO would think if they found out he possessed such a skill.

They would probably see him as a dangerous mana beast and try all their possible best to eliminate him!

’Well, not like anyone’s ever going to find out.’ Harry thought, letting out a low chuckle.

"Memory Manipulation." He muttered, moving on to the next skill that came to his mind.

He already had a good idea of what this skill could do.

After all, its power was pretty obvious from the name alone.

However, he still called up the description so he could know the exact details about his new skills, not willing to take any unnecessary risks.

=====

[Memory Manipulation]

—Manipulate the memories of any one you wish.

For this skill to activate, the target’s mental stats would have to be lower than Host’s.

Note: Requires body contact with target to activate.

=====

’A perfect complement to influence... another overpowered skill.’ Harry thought, nodding his head in understanding.

Just like [Influence], this skill also had a compulsory requirement which stated he must make physical contact with his target... or rather, victim.

But just like the former, the ’requirement’ didn’t make the skill any less overpowered.

What even made them better was that they already granted him this much power despite being level one, so he couldn’t imagine how powerful they would get after levelling up.

’With these two... i can control anyone in the world.’ Harry thought, his eyes flashing with a cold glint.

The next skill he checked was [Great Elemental Control], a passive ability which granted him high-level control when it came to using his elements.

With the use of this and [Energy Manipulation], he could even harness his elements without the use of skills.

As he channeled his energy, he could make it appear in whatever element he so desired, as long as he had the elemental affinity.

It was another overpowered skill for sure; one which greatly complemented both his energy and elements.

After checking all his skills, Harry relaxed on the ground once again, staring at the ceiling with a slight frown.

’I’ve grown over three time more powerful than before... but is it enough?’ He thought, the images of Kronos and the other celestials flashing through his mind.

He couldn’t help but wonder... if he was face to face with one right now... would his current skill catalogue be enough to help him win?

He already knew the answer to that question, and it was a big, fat No.

’I still need to grow stronger...’ He mumbled in his mind, slowly stretching his hand in the air.

He imagined a giant sun floating before him... which represented the epitome of strength he needed to reach.

’A lot stronger than now.’ He thought, slowly clenching his fist, grabbing the imaginary sun within his palm.

[You shouldn’t let the celestials distract you too much from how far you’ve come...]

Leon spoke up once more, jolting Harry out of his thoughts.

[The celestials shouldn’t cause you any trouble... at least for now.]

’Why do you say that?’ Harry asked, resting his hands on his chest.

[Remember what I told you when you started your evolution... that you shouldn’t let your energy burst out?]

Harry’s expression suddenly changed at those words, twisting into a frown.

The reason for his worry was that he had failed in doing that, as he let a small amount of his energy burst out of him.

[That was because I was worried about them finding you too early... though the chances are low, it is still very much likely.]

The major thing Leon was worried about was Kronos, who gave him the most trouble out of all the other celestials.

Back when he was roaming around the world, he used his last bit of strength to shroud the world with his energy, blocking it from the celestials senses.

However, that shroud had already been lifted the moment his energy merged with Harry, creating the system.
