Taking a glimpse of 'his' hell [5]

"It looks like there's a limit to how much I can influence him with my sealed powers. At the rate that he's progressing, he will die early. Maybe if I find a way to weaken his soul temporarily, I will be able to have a greater influence on him..." 

Upon muttering those words, Kevin watched as the black threads danced around the white orb and started to attack it. 

After striking the orb, the threads bounced back, leaving it completely undamaged. The sight caused Kevin's brows to furrow. 

"I don't seem to have enough power to damage his soul, so I'll have to find another way." 

Feeling his hand pull away from the orb, Kevin felt his body take a step back. After that, he continued to stare at the orb for two more loops. He seemed to be paying particular attention to each and every one of the details in each loop. 

"I see." 

Right before the second loop started, Kevin once again felt his hand pull toward the orb.
