Chapter 148 Suppressed

It was very intuitive to do it with his own hands, but the back and forward motion of the chainsaw was harder to grasp with his telekinesis.

It was slow to start, and more than once the chain went too slack to cut anything.

However, after a few seconds, Sylas quickly got the hang of it, and his speed became even faster. Soon, however, he ran into another problem.

'Interesting… it should be the bottleneck for the amount of weight my telekinesis can move.'

The friction of such an action was exceptionally high. At some point, Sylas tried to move too fast, and the friction reached a state that was equivalent to trying to lift a heavy weight. Right now, his telekinesis could still only lift around a few dozen pounds at most before the Physical he could exhibit weakened.

Sylas could break past the limit with Basic Aetherflow, but for obvious reasons, it wasn't worthwhile to do such a thing here. But at the same time, he obviously couldn't touch the chain.

He slowed down the movement of the chains, maintaining a speed that was just enough that his telekinesis' Physical didn't fall beneath 45.

'Fascinating…' _{free𝑤ebnovel.com}

Sylas found himself lost in the intricacies of his telekinesis. There were so many odd tidbits and quirks that he hadn't noticed before, at least not until he was put in this novel situation.

Technically, the hand chainsaw was one object, but his telekinesis was acting on it at two separate points.

Could his telekinesis overlap?

Sylas tried, but they ended up canceling each other out.

'Makes sense… my influence is already there once, unless I shrink one the other can't take action. But if they're acting on separate regions, it works… could that work on my kunai?'

Sylas continued to cut the tree, paying attention to the minor changes. Unwittingly, his telekinesis was becoming more and more refined.

'No, that won't work. If I tried, it would throw the balance off…'

The first time Sylas used his telekinesis to control an arrow, he distinctly remembered that it felt so much more comfortable than controlling a regular dagger. When he controlled his kunai for the first time, he had the same feeling.

This meant one very obvious thing: the aerodynamics of an object could help or hinder him.

For example, if he was controlling an ax, he had to be mindful of the pivot point. If he just shuttled it through the air, it would lose much of its effectiveness. He would have to first move it to a proper location and then imagine it rotating with its handle as the pivot point.

Taking a step back, if he tried to apply two different control points on his kunai, it would actually ruin the fluidity of its movement through the air and throw off its balance instead.

Ironically, if he wanted to apply two or more control points, it would be best if he used regular weapons rather than ones meant for flight.

There was something else as well.

Controlling one object from two points seemed to take more intention and focus than controlling two objects from one point. This could be seen from how it took him a while to get a hang of using the hand chainsaw.
