Plants, rocks, hills...
Nothing could escape its perception.
In barely an instant, it had locked onto something and opened its eyes again.
"Over there."
Turning in another direction, it raised an arm toward a spot several hundred meters away.

They were the Dark Trinity, officers feared even within Team Plasma!
