Pure agonizing pain took over Moon's mind for a moment.
He clutched his head with both hands. His vision blurred at the edges.
His knees buckled slightly beneath him. His thoughts fractured into disjointed pieces that refused to connect properly.
Something was pressing against the inside of his skull, and every attempt to think against it made the pressure worse.
'C-Cleanse!'
The skill was barely cast, fighting against whatever was pushing back on his brain.
The skill activated.
Healing energy washed through his body. The pain subsided for a fraction of a second. His thoughts cleared and his vision refocused.
Then the pain returned.
Weaker this time, but present.
"What the hell is going on."
Moon's voice came out hoarse.
He felt it clearly now. Something was actively trying to take over his mind.
Some form of mental influence targeting his consciousness.
He cast Cleanse again.
The pain subsided further. Then he released his aura.
