In total, he is combining the power of his internal energy through the Living Armament Metac, the power of his mind with the Telekinesis Metac, and the power of his body to produce a powerful means of attack.
This combination of power puts his total power output at 1(Cultivation Rank) × (0.5(Body) + 0.9(Telekinesis Metac) + 1(Living Armament Metac)) × 0.90(Skill Amplification), which is 2.16 units.
An output of 2.16 units seems small, but it becomes much larger if this output is compared to the normal power output of non-cultivators, which ranges between 0.1 and 1 units.
For example, if he didn’t have any cultivation, his power output would only be 0.5(Body). After all, it is only because he has cultivation that he can use Metacs and manipulate his internal energy.
So, compared to not using cultivation, his current power output is 4.32 times what he can achieve with only his body. This is why he can lift a hammer that only a giant should be able to lift with ease.
This kind of power is why he has been able to survive for so long. It is also why he is confident in killing Loki.
The reason why he is unwilling to kill Loki like this is because of the consequences of his actions when he successfully kills Loki. Slav said that his father will save him, but he has seen too much and can’t naively believe that promise.
Unfortunately for him, he has no choice in the matter. He either does this for a faint chance of survival, or he will die at Slav’s hands.
So he exhaled and summoned his strength. Then he smashed down the front door of Loki’s house with his hammer.
The wooden door caved in and collapsed with a single hit. His power was so great that even a wild bull would blush in shame.
With the good opened, he rushed in to kill Loki. What he found was a prepared Loki waiting for him while wearing full-body plate armor.
Loki was aware that someone was close to him without seeing them because he could see their mind. This is a benefit for those on the Mind Hunter Pathway.
The Telepathy Metac lets him perceive and interact with the minds within the range of its power, so even though there was the door and wall of his house between them, he had become aware of his enemy’s mind when the person got close and had begun preparing for battle before his wall was broken down.
When he became aware of the enemy, he jumped out of his bed where he was cultivating, and activated the Liquid Metac. This caused a liquid like mercury to flow out of his energy well and encapsulate his whole body.
Then the liquid metal flowed according to his will to form the shape of plate armor on his body. Next, the liquid metal solidified and encased him in solid plate armor that is tough enough to block a bullet.
From there, he activated two more Liquid Metal Metacs and used them to create a large tower shield and a large Claymore. This much weight on his body is too much for him, so he activated the Living Armament Metac to lighten the load of the armor, the tower shield, and the Claymore.
Finally, he activated the Body Lever Metac, which is a Metac that enhances the strength of the body with his internal energy. It does this by creating a net of metal around his body like an exoskeleton or an extra layer of muscles, which reinforces his body and makes his body feel stronger than it.
With his body producing more power than it normally should, he can use the power of his body to carry everything alone and not need to use the Telekinesis Metac and the full power of his mind to lift.
He didn’t use the Telekinesis Metac to carry his weapons and armor because he wanted to free up the power of his mind for the Metacs of the Mind Hunter Pathway. If he uses the Telekinesis Metac now, he won’t be able to use the Telepathy Metac anymore.
He let his body briefly bear the load instead of his mind at the expense of more energy consumption. What he used the power of his mind to do was to attack his enemy’s mind.
He used the Telepathy Metac and the Mind Stab Metac to attack his enemy. This was an invisible attack that only Mind Hunters within the range of the attack could see. Since his enemy was a forger, he remained completely oblivious to the attack until it was too late.
The Mind Stab attack struck his enemy’s mind with so much power that his mind ground to a halt, and all of his thoughts were overwritten with pain. His face went from shock that Loki was ready to fight him despite the surprise attack to being contorted in pain.
The immense pain made him howl, drop his hammer, and clutch his head in pain. He completely disregarded the threat that Loki posed to him and became defenseless.
Loki took the opportunity to swing the claymore across his enemy’s neck. The Sword Heart Metac took effect and made the Claymore flow in synch with his body like water on a rock.
The power of his body and the Body Lever flowed into the Claymore and created so much power that he managed to sever both arms that the man was using to clutch his head and separate his head from his body.
The scream of the man was abruptly cut off as soon as it started. His head fell to the ground and rolled around for a while. Then his body fell backwards to the ground.
The combination of mental and physical attacks made it very easy for him to defeat and kill his enemy. This outcome didn’t surprise Loki because this won’t be the first time he has used this combination attack or the first time he will be fighting this particular enemy.
