The white shadow flashed past in an instant, but Moriyue was certain he had seen it. As for why Yugito Nii had not noticed it, he had no idea. Could it be that only someone like him, who also possessed a talisman, could see it?
If that was true, it would be a good thing. After all, if only he could see it, didn't that mean only he could easily obtain the talismans? Others would not even have the chance to come into contact with them.
He could not make sense of the situation for the moment, but Moriyue knew he could not let this opportunity slip away. It had taken him so long to encounter a talisman—how could he possibly give it up so easily?
He strode forward. There was no time to explain anything to Yugito Nii. He shot forward like an arrow. After being tempered by lightning for so long, Moriyue's body had grown increasingly stronger. Compared to when he had first begun training, it was like night and day—more than enough to support this kind of high-intensity sprint.
He ran through the forest reduced to ashes, kicking up piles of soot beneath his feet from time to time as he desperately chased after the direction in which the white shadow had vanished.
The white shadow seemed to realize that Moriyue was deliberately pursuing it, and its pace quickened considerably. Yet its path did not look like running—it seemed more like it was floating away.
"An out-of-body soul from the Sheep Talisman? Is that thing currently in a soul-separated state?"
Moriyue did not understand why he could see this ethereal soul, but since its soul had left its body, its physical body should be asleep. This was the perfect chance to make a move.
