Chapter 1763 Loopholes in the Skill Zone
After witnessing things up close, Jen had discerned some of the intricacies of Eren's Unique Skill.
The Array Formation hovering above his head, complete with its emerald-green eyes, allowed him to subject anyone within their gaze to the Skill zone's maximum penalty.
The debuff the eyes cast was not only psychological but also physical in nature. A mere gaze was enough to cast this debuff.
However, this Skill zone had a noticeable loophole. Similar to the eyes not possessing a 360-degree field of view, the pseudo-domain also lacked complete coverage. Centered around Eren, it enveloped an area with a 280-degree field of view.
Although the Unreal Reflection influenced everything around Eren, the restraining effects on its subjects were only active within the limited field of view governed by the eyes.
And just like the regular eyes, Eren could only keep one target at the focal point, blurring the view for everything else. With his ocular Skill, he could only pressurize one opponent at a time by making the emerald-green eyes focus on them directly.
The others trapped within the pseudo-domain would face significantly less amount of physical and mental pressure.
The mental pressure within the Skill zone arose from Eren's abundant Spiritual Force attempting to intrude into the target's soul, seeking entry into their Soul Space. This blatant and sudden infiltration triggered adverse reactions in their souls, making them see things not the way they were but the way they feared to see.
The physical pressure, exerted by the emerald-green eyes, was tied to Eren's Elemental Attainments. Particularly, his mastery of time-element and space-element played a crucial role in the ocular Skill, empowering him to manipulate and restrict his targets as he desired.
The illusions of a bloody ground, flesh trees, flesh flowers, bones, and other elements perceived by the targets within the Skill zone were merely their interpretations of Eren's Elemental Attainments. Due to the mental pressure they experienced, hindering their ability to think clearly, they became unable to distinguish between reality and fantasy. Consequently, they started witnessing manifestations of Eren's Elemental Attainments, viewing these illusions through a lens shaped by Eren's Individuality as a Grandmaster Ranker.
What remained intriguing was the foundational nature of Unreal Reflection as an ocular Skill. Essentially, it empowered Eren to manipulate reality through the lens of his Individuality. His Elemental Attainments, Weapon Comprehensions, and even divinity was part of this Individuality.
Eren felt as if all the mental barriers he had of things he could or could not do had vanished into thin air. In this condition, he was able to tap into his most potent bloodline power, which allowed him to imprint his will into the spells or Skills cast by others. This Skill zone also allowed him to wield Edict Over Water more freely.
There were virtually no offensive, defensive, or supportive Skills available in Menaka's Market that could be acquired and employed as a countermeasure.
Within the pseudo-domain, individuals found it relatively uncomplicated to escape, provided the emerald-green eyes weren't directly fixated on them. As this realm was a pseudo-domain, Eren lacked the means to prevent their departure unless his eyes were specifically focused on them.
The assurance of a guaranteed hit within the Skill zone was dependent upon the scrutiny of the emerald-green eyes. In other words, the effectiveness of this guarantee relied solely on the eyes observing the target. If Eren shifted his attention to a different adversary, the reliability of the guaranteed hit would be compromised.

Jen thought that as long as she did not act foolishly, she would be able to make use of the ocular Skill's disadvantages against its caster. All she needed was a suitable timing, which Yugi provided to her even without asking.

Swoosh. Zoom. Grab.
Jen lunged at Eren, employing her unique set of skills that granted her exceptional agility and blinding speed. Her attack was based on the assumption that Eren was preoccupied with dealing with Yugi.
She evaded the direct line of sight as she approached Eren before launching an attack from behind him. Unfortunately for her, she had underestimated Eren's cognitive abilities that had been enhanced because of his own Skill zone.
To Jen's astonishment and dread, Eren effortlessly dodged her attack. It dawned on her that he would gladly allow dozens of Yugi's clones to slip away if it meant getting a hold of her.
Seizing her by the throat, he hoisted her into the air, addressing her in a nonchalant manner. "It's true what they say. Orange cats are the most troublesome." Eren said as he looked at the woman with the Profession of a Rogue.
"You... ah, what kind of Unique Skill are you using? Wha– what is your faith?"
Jen struggled to speak, managing to utter a few words with difficulty, directing a question toward the man who had her neck in his grip. A sense of powerlessness engulfed her the moment Eren captured her.
"Kekeke," Eren chuckled as he discerned Jen's attempt.
"Let me guess. You want to know more about me to leverage in your next lifeline, don't you? Hoping to extract every advantage from the lifeline you're on the brink of losing? Smart move, I must say.
Unfortunately for you, I am not telling you shit. Now let's see how many times you die and come back to life, shall we?"
