The battlefield remained silent, but the tension within it continued to rise. Rahim stood at the center of that silence, holding on to a connection that was becoming harder to control with every passing moment. The pressure did not overwhelm him all at once. It worked slowly, testing every part of his awareness, looking for weaknesses.
And it found them.
Rahim's breathing grew slightly heavier, though his expression remained calm. He did not allow himself to panic, but he did not ignore the reality either. The crack within his control had not disappeared. It had grown.
The system pushed again.
Harder this time.
Rahim's stance shifted slightly as he absorbed the pressure, but for the first time, he felt himself being pushed back from within.
That was new.
And dangerous.
He had always fought against external forces. He had always found a way to push forward. But now, the struggle was inside him, within the very power he had accepted.
Rahim closed his eyes briefly, forcing himself to focus.
If he tried to overpower it, he would break.
If he tried to resist it, he would lose control.
So there was only one option left
He had to understand it
Before it destroyed him
