Beating the Grass
The "Rose School" member that Damien and his nephew were monitoring suddenly left half an hour ago, presumably to meet with his superior.
"During this period, he has been making large-scale acquisitions at various Beyonder Gathering. Although the acquisitions were not of high caliber, they still amounted to a considerable fortune."
After saying that, she added with a smile:
"If you weren't in the Southern Continent, I definitely would have taken action myself."
"Now...?"
Pali's meaning was clear: she hoped the real person would take action this time.
As Sequence 6 "Devil" from the "Abyss" Pathway, and also possessing the "Abyss" Card of Blasphemy, she has extremely strong Anti-Divination abilities.
However, the Southern Continent is, after all, the stronghold of the "Rose School," with Saint and Angel in charge, so there must be some strange and difficult-to-defend tracking methods.
After a moment's thought, Lorry asked:
What is the strength of the "Rose School" members you are monitoring?
"At most, he's a ' Lunatic ' at Sequence 8, but not the Gibson you're looking for."
Pali answered without hesitation, then added, "He remained sane during the last full moon, so he's clearly not yet in the Mid-Sequence."
The "Prisoner" Pathway Beyonder, starting with Sequence 7 "Werewolf," are fully cursed and will bear the corresponding curse on the night of the full moon.
"If your intelligence is correct, his contact is most likely Sequence 7, less likely Sequence 6, and almost certainly not Sequence 5."
Lorry said this, glancing at the Scholarly Man beside him:
"Let it go. Once the Illusions dissipates, it won't leave any clues. Even if Demigod could travel back in time, it wouldn't be of any use."
He took out the "Book of Dimensions," found a blank page, and quickly began to write.
Soon, the Dark Gold page transformed dramatically into an antique-looking Revolver with a Brass luster and fiery red markings.
This was his imagined "Sure-Hit Revolver".
Aside from its age, it is almost indistinguishable from a true Mystical Item.
And Lorry also has a way to solve this problem.
He stroked the White Bone Ring, temporarily replacing one of its abilities with the "Exploitation" of the "Black Emperor" Pathway Sequence 4, "The Fallen Earl".
The purpose of this ability is to extend a certain state or end it prematurely, making the rules more favorable to oneself.
Lorry undoubtedly needs the former to prolong the Illusions's existence.
In this way, Illusions can play a greater role and will not disappear due to time constraints before their inherent Spirituality is exhausted.
"Do you have a way to quickly locate the surveillance personnel?" He turned to look at Pali.
The "Demoness" stared blankly at her true form's antics, her beautiful eyes widening slightly before she nodded in slight astonishment.
"Can.
"He was carrying a Mystical Item that I've used for a long time."
Upon hearing the answer, Lorry nodded slightly, then grabbed Pali and the Illusions's shoulders respectively, simulating "Teleportation" to travel through the Spirit World.
Alese City, not too far away, lies the edge of Primeval Jungle.
Using an extraordinary object, Sutton concealed himself in the layered shadows cast by tall, ancient trees, quietly awaiting the arrival of his subordinates.
Suddenly, his ears twitched as he heard faint footsteps in the distance. He immediately became extremely alert, squinting and staring intently in that direction.
In the still night breeze, footsteps approached from afar. Sutton saw a figure emerge from the darkness, standing at the entrance of the Primeval Jungle, looking around.

Confirming that the face was exactly as he remembered, he confidently revealed himself.
"Here."
The words had barely left his mouth.
The other person's face lit up with joy, and he quickened his pace toward him; he, too, emerged from the shadows under the tree and hurried forward to meet his subordinates.
The two were getting closer and closer.
In a flash, Sutton stopped abruptly, suddenly remembering something.
The purpose of this rendezvous was to collect the Mysticism items the other party had gathered in the Alese City over the past two months, but where were those items?
The other party didn't even have a decent container on them!
There's a problem!
Thinking of this, Sutton didn't hesitate to howl to the heavens:
"Awoo--"
His body swelled rapidly, and short, stiff gray hairs spread across his face, the backs of his hands, and other exposed skin. His nails grew wildly, sharp as knives.
"Die!"
Sutton stomped hard on the soil, creating a noticeable indentation, and his body left a long afterimage as he lunged towards the enemy in front of him.
Swish!
Sharp claws gleamed coldly in the moonlight.
A head fell to the ground with a thud, then suddenly shrank as if deflated, turning into two tattered Paper Figurine, just like the corpse that stood frozen in place.
Paper Figurine Substitute!
As a mid-level member of Concealment organization, Sutton was not entirely unfamiliar with this ability, knowing that it belonged to Sequence 7 of the "Seer" Pathway.
The ability of the other party to transform into his subordinate belongs to a higher Sequence 6.
However, even so, Sutton still has no intention of backing down.
In his mind, the Beyonder on this Pathway weren't particularly powerful, so even if the opponent might be a level higher than him, he was prepared to fight first and then decide what to do next.
Going back empty-handed like this will likely only lead to becoming a sacrifice.
Thinking of this, a flicker of fear crossed Sutton's eyes. He quickly turned his head to survey his surroundings, locking onto the enemy's figure once more.
Their eyes met.
He was greeted with a gunshot.
Sutton dodged, but a tree as thick as a bowl behind him was snapped in half by the explosion.
"Quick reaction."
The "Faceless" Illusions chuckled, uttering a soft, feminine voice, and swiftly turned the "Sure-Hit Revolver" to fire.
Bang bang bang!
Relying on the fact that he had no negative consequences, the "Faceless" Illusions pulled the trigger repeatedly, and Flames shot out from the muzzle like fireworks blooming on the ground.
"Boom boom boom!"
Explosion rang out one after another, dust flew everywhere, and the air trembled.
The experienced Sutton had already witnessed the power of that Revolver, so he naturally wouldn't be careless, always keeping a safe distance to avoid it.
The stalemate lasted for nearly two minutes amidst the continuous gunfire.
In another Dimension, Pali grew restless. "If this continues, the Illusions of that Mystical Item will disappear in two minutes at most."
"I don't quite understand what you're thinking."
"A Sequence 7 ' Werewolf,' do you think he could know too much? Taking him down would only give you one trait." Lorry retorted, calmly watching the Illusions's battle, and reassured his clone, "Wait a little longer, you'll soon find out what I'm planning."
Pali pursed her lips and shifted her gaze to the battle.
She squinted and suddenly noticed that as the Illusions continued to fire, the dry branches and leaves on the ground ignited one after another, spreading very rapidly.
A thought struck her, and she remembered one of the Magician ' abilities:
Flaming Jump!
Meanwhile, in the Real World, the "Faceless" Illusions vanished, only to reappear a second later less than five meters from Sutton.
