"Any more?"
The deep green pool was quite large and highly corrosive. Milly could not be sure whether more of those garbage phantasmal monsters lurked beneath it, so she asked Green. With her current barely first-level biological standard, she had almost no ability to resist.
"I'll probe it."
Having sealed away thirty thousand times his own strength, Green had naturally also lost the ability to summon the rule projection of the Face of Truth, along with many means of perception. He could only use himself as bait and investigate personally.
