A day had passed since I had stepped into the forest, and since then, I had been beguiled three times. The first time is for one and a half seconds, while the other two are for a few microseconds.
The time may seem small, but for a person of my level of strength, it is more than enough to finish the job thoroughly.
I had been cautious, keeping my thoughts in control, but still got beguile. It is not easy to defend against them; the whole forest is full of them.
It might not seem like it, but every second, I am fending off hundreds of attempts of beguilement. I am succeeding in most, and it is due to it I am standing here. If I drop all the defenses, then it wouldn't take even a second for the place to beguile me.
After testing a few things, I had increased my speed; while the slow speed is cautious, it is also detrimental. The first two things were able to hit me because my slow speed kept me in the area enough for them to infiltrate my defenses and affect me.
