Now that I think about it... the whole situation felt like a well-curated skit made out of mine and Cass's memories.
Nexar's right. Kael shouldn't be defending a person she'd just met a few hours ago. And why was Mendy exerting just enough force for me to defend against, despite being the strongest hunter in the forest?
That must be it.
It's Voidmirror(A+). Selka's divine gift.
The void mirror is deadly, sure. But it can be easily undone with even the novice aura output.
That's where these chambers come into play. Perfectly rendering the target unable to use aura and hence suffer in Voidmirror.
I could be wrong and this could just be reality. But I should choose a solution that could answer the problem either way.
I pushed against the wall and slid from beneath the beast, squeezing between its legs along the rocky floor.
The rough stone tore at my clothes and gnawed at my skin. I could feel it peel off layers as I scraped across it.
