conplexio, was the technique according to the one I read.
anyways, Negi realizes that all the bad things in his life, he needs to absorbe on to himself, but, before doing so, he gets his conviction allright, and loses his mind, acting on impulse, which is cool, anyways upon realizastion that this enemy is using darkness, and that darkness surrounds him all the time, it looks like tolive on, to continue living even in darkness that surrounds us all, you need to accept it and move on...
since she was using a dark based attack, the only counter, would be to absorbe the darkness and continue living...
or in other words, become that horrible looking black infused thing.
:)
that was something I just thought upthough I don't know why I bothered to write soo much...
this is getting interesting though, with the power that he craved, now within him, can he be cool and do sweet stuff?
