The battlefield outside roared with clashing prowess, yet inside the cocoon, the atmosphere remained eerily calm.
Null leaned back slightly, watching Sora and Mor'gan collide in another violent exchange of light and flame.
"Alright," he muttered, determination setting into his voice. "Time to stop guessing."
His eyes glowed faintly.
»Existential Perception — Activate«
The world peeled apart.
Mor'gan's physical form dissolved into layers of information—conceptual, metaphysical, and existential data unfurling like a scroll simultaneously.
Reality itself whispered its secrets.
Fantasy Omniscience spoke.

The streams of data faded, reality stitching itself back together as Mor'gan's true form returned to Null's vision.
Null blinked once.
"…Huh."
That was it.
No gasp.
No shock.
No panic.
Just a mild, almost bored reaction.
"So he's basically a walking fire-themed boss monster with B-rank stats," Null muttered. "Figures."
Fantasy Omniscience responded flatly.
[Assessment: Your interpretation is accurate.]
Outside, Sora and Mor'gan clashed yet again—light screaming against flame, shockwaves rippling across the ruined forest. The cocoon trembled faintly, cracks beginning to form on its surface..
Null rested his elbow against the barrier, watching the fight unfold like a spectator in a private arena.
"She's still holding up pretty well," he commented casually. "Even with that stat gap."
[Correct. Subject Sora's transcendental affinities allow her to compensate for inferior numerical attributes.]
Null nodded.
"Yeah, yeah. Built different."
Then—
His gaze drifted back to the floating data.
Unique Ability:
Flame-Hungered.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
"…Hold on."
He re-read the description.
«All dark-fire attacks drain a percentage of the target's mana on contact and convert it into additional flame intensity and regeneration for the user»
"…Yeah," Null muttered, growing grim. "That ability is nasty."
Fantasy Omniscience clarified.
[Elaboration: Flame-Hungered is optimized for prolonged engagements against mana-dependent opponents.]
"So every time Sora blocks or attacks him—she's basically feeding him fuel?"
[Affirmative.]
Outside, Sora deflected another flaming cleave, her radiant shield flaring as dark fire washed over it. She counterattacked instantly, light spearing through Mor'gan's guard.
The demon laughed.
"…That means it's not about who hits harder," he murmured, "It's about who runs out first."
Fantasy Omniscience confirmed his observation
[Correct. Subject Mor'gan Urroreth possesses superior stamina, physical resilience, and regenerative efficiency when Flame-Hungered is active.]
Null exhaled slowly.
"Which means…"
His eyes tracked Sora's movements—the way her aura pulsed with controlled intensity, how her support spells triggered more frequently now than before.
"…He's accelerating her mana exhaustion."
[Yes.]
A distant explosion rocked the forest. Sora was thrown back—but recovered instantly with a pulse of life-energy.
"So even if she doesn't make a single mistake… Even if she keeps fighting perfectly…"
He paused.
"It's only a matter of time before she loses."
Fantasy Omniscience did not sugarcoat the truth.
[[Flame-Hungered expedites her gradual mana depletion.]
Null sighed.
"So she's on a timer."
[Correct.]
"Alright, Omniscience. Let's talk counters."
[Query acknowledged.]
"Is there any way to negate Flame-Hungered?"
Fantasy Omniscience paused for precisely 0.32 seconds—an eternity in its terms.
[Negative.]
Null frowned slightly.
"None?"
[Unique Abilities are conceptual privileges embedded into an entity's existence. They cannot be negated through conventional means.]
"So barriers, purification, anti-magic, resistances…?"
[Normal means are ineffective.]
[However, if there are methods in one's arsenal that counters a unique ability's conceptual nature. It may reduce or delay the effect.]
Null sighed.
"That broken, huh?"
[Correct.]
He folded his arms, digesting the implications.
"So unless you have something overwhelmingly stronger… or something that directly weakens its conceptual nature…"
Fantasy Omniscience completed his sentence.
[Only an opposing Unique Ability with a contradictory existential principle can fully negate Flame-Hungered.]
"Should I say this is bad? No, i should save that line for after I evaluate her"
Null's gaze shifted from Mor'gan to the girl standing her ground in the storm of fire and light.
Sora.
Her white-and-cyan aura burned brighter with every exchange, her movements sharp despite the visible strain on her body. She parried a flaming greatsword strike, countering with a radiant spear that carved a line across Mor'gan's chest.
He barely flinched.
But she didn't retreat.
Null's eyes glowed again.
"Fantasy Omniscience-san."
[Yes.]
"I guess the situation calls for it. It's time."
[Command acknowledged.]
"Activate Existential Perception on Sora."
For a split second, the cocoon's interior felt heavier—like reality itself had taken a cautious breath.
«Existential Perception — Target: Sora von Luminous»
The world unraveled once more.
But this time, it was not just layers of information that emerged.
It was pressure.
Concepts didn't merely unfold—they resisted.
As if Sora's existence wasn't meant to be observed so easily.
Light bent.
Causality wavered.
The air itself felt… reverent.
Unfortunately, in the face of true Omnicience, all anti-information protections are futile.
