Emerged From My Soul

There is only one effective method to overcome the fears, and it's facing them.

Of course, you need to face your fears gradually. If you start by facing your worst fear, then the end result will be that your fear became even worse.

Fortunately, we are in the perfect place to overcome Claire's fears. After all, the monsters here are illusions and don't emit killing intent. For Claire, whose fear originated from the assassin's killing intent, these monsters are the perfect place to start.

But even so, facing a fear is not easy.

"No!" Claire closed her eyes and swung her sword crazily. I heaved a sigh when I saw the third-layer enemy circling around her and attacking her back.

Helpless, I could only kill it before it hurt Claire and worsened the situation.

"Claire, you can't close your eyes." I said for the umpteenth time.

Claire put on a self-deprecating smile. "Sorry, I could not help it." I could see that her body was trembling slightly.

"This is not working." Looking at Claire, I shook my head. Although her current state is better than before, she still can't overcome her fear.

This can't go on. If Claire is unable to gather her courage and face the monsters here, where they are illusory, then her future as a cultivator will be cut off.

Moreover, she will probably live in constant fear from today onwards.

Wrinkling my brows, I decided to take things a step further. Anyway, I already decided I would help her.

"Claire, take my hand." I said.

Claire was slightly startled before nodding. With a slight blush, she grabbed my hand and intertwined her fingers with mine.

I put on an amused smile and pulled her in direction of another monster.

At the same time, I prepared myself to use a more drastic measure.

In a few seconds, the next monster appeared before us. It was a fifth-layer wolf, a monster even stronger than Claire.

As expected, Claire froze when she saw the monster. She tightened her hand around mine and became pale.

"Cousin, I can't do it..."

"Calm down, I'll help you." I said with a smile and patted Claire's head. A small thread of my mana entered Claire's body to help her to calm down.

When Claire finally relaxed, I took a deep breath.

"I'll try something, don't resist." I said.

Claire was startled, but she nodded in the next second.

Instantly, a strange pulse of energy entered her mind.

Without giving her time to react, a thread of energy emerged from my soul and burrowed into Claire's soul. Claire's soul instinctively tried to reject it, but my powerful soul instantly overpowered her and forced the thread of energy inside.

Claire paled. Her beautiful blue eyes trembled with a bit of fear, but in the next instant, her eyes opened wide.
