Time to Stop Running

Running away wasn't an option, and Vince knew it. With the monster's speed, there was no way he could outrun it.

As he sprinted at full speed, he tapped into his inner force, focusing on his mental strength.

One mental technique he had learned from books was something called Midnight Mirage. It was the easiest way to concentrate on mental energy, even under pressure.

By using this technique, he didn't need to spend minutes concentrating to feel the temperature of the energy around him. He only needed several seconds, just enough time before the monster caught up to him.

Though he still couldn't draw energy from nature and remained dormant, Vince had been able to sense the temperature of surrounding energy since the first day Nyx trained him.

During his first tries, he had to stay still in one spot and focus for a few minutes to achieve this, but after learning Midnight Mirage, he could do it within seconds, if he just put his mind to it.
