He stared at the empty air for a long moment again, the more he looked at the invisible and transparent blue screen floating in front of him with its words clearly written across it, the wider his grin became, the mission itself was obviously something he found interesting, but the reward attached to it was what actually made him this excited,
"Heh, I have never been this happy seeing a mission before, but I also think it will be quite difficult to accomplish, that ’Difficulty’ here would mean...these so-called Ancients are really powerful." He spoke while continuing to look through the information, already understanding that the System wouldn’t assign such a high difficulty to something that could be completed easily.
After another moment of looking at the screen, it finally disappeared from his vision, leaving only the forest and the distant Church visible in front of him, Kael shifted his eyes toward the massive city surrounding the Church, his gaze becoming slightly sharper as he observed the entire area from his current position, ’Hmm, they have set up an Unbreakable Barrier around the whole city I see, but if I set up the Formation outside the city itself, then the plan should work, the Monsters will eventually try to get past the barrier and attack the city, and when they do, those Ancients will have to reveal themselves.’
He already knew that entering the city wasn’t necessary for his objective, in fact, doing so would only create unnecessary risks so high even he might lose his life when he could simply fulfill his part in the plan in his way.
’The moment they do, those Ancients will have to reveal themselves and I will get my sweet reward if I just watch everything through my Master’s World Tree consciousness, hehe.’ Kael thought as his grin remained on his face, his steps continuing forward through the forest without any hesitation, he had already decided what he was going to do and there was no reason for him to waste more time thinking about another method unless something unexpected happened.
With that plan settled, the disciple of the Queen of the entire Elven Continent, Kael Mortisano, continued walking toward the direction he had chosen, his movements remaining completely normal while his presence itself had already disappeared from the senses of the surrounding world, he wasn’t moving quickly or using any complicated method to hide himself, because there was simply no need for that when even the most advanced detection methods on the island would never be able to find him.
As to why they wouldn’t be able to find him? It was simply because Kael possessed an enormous arsenal of Techniques and Abilities, so many that even he had stopped properly counting all of them, and some of those Abilities were completely outrageous, his current method of hiding himself was one such Ability, something he had obtained that allowed him to completely erase his own presence from detection.
The Ability was called Presence Eraser, and its function was exactly what its name suggested, it erased Kael’s presence itself rather than simply hiding it, meaning that ordinary senses couldn’t detect him, Spirit Energy perception couldn’t locate him, and even Relics specifically created for detecting living beings would have difficulty finding anything connected to his existence while the Ability remained active, making it far more useful than simply concealing his appearance or suppressing his Spirit Energy.
The strange thing about Presence Eraser was that it didn’t even have a Rank attached to it, Kael had checked it several times after obtaining the Ability, but the System had never provided him with an actual classification for it, and after using it enough times he had already come to his own conclusion about the reason, ’This thing is ridiculous, maybe the System itself doesn’t have a proper Rank to put it into, if it can erase my presence instead of simply hiding it, then I don’t think ordinary detection abilities can do anything against it anyway.’
He thought while continuing forward, completely unaware that there was no one nearby who could even sense that he was there.

Meanwhile...
In the Human Continent, while Azarion was currently with his wife Liora, "discussing" certain matters with her inside her own bedroom, slightly away from the Main Palace where most of the important affairs of the Human Continent were handled, another palace stood quietly in the distance, this was the palace where Velmira usually lived, and although the palace remained exactly as it had always been, Velmira herself couldn’t be found anywhere inside it at this moment.
The reason was simple, she wasn’t there, she had already left the palace some time ago and gone to a place whose exact location couldn’t be determined by anyone who wasn’t aware of it, the place itself could only be described as an unknown space because there was almost nothing inside it that could be used to identify where it actually existed.
Everywhere one looked, there was only darkness, deep darkness spread endlessly in every direction without any visible boundary, there was no sky, no walls, and even the ground couldn’t properly be seen, making it impossible to determine whether Velmira was standing inside an enormous chamber or somewhere completely disconnected from the outside world, the only thing clearly visible in that darkness was Velmira herself.
She stood at the very center of that place with Marvilas held in one hand, the weapon occasionally giving off a faint glow before returning to its normal state, but Velmira herself remained completely still, she hadn’t moved from that position for more than an hour and hadn’t spoken a single word either, as if she had come here specifically to wait for someone and had already decided that she would remain there until that person finally appeared.
More than an hour had already passed, yet she continued waiting without showing any impatience on her face, although the longer the silence continued, the more obvious the suspicion in her eyes became, eventually she finally raised her head slightly and looked toward the darkness in front of her, "I think it’s time you showed up, it’s already been more than an hour...Eliomor."
The moment her voice spread through the darkness, something finally reacted, the empty space directly in front of her remained still for a brief moment before the ground beneath it trembled slightly, the movement wasn’t strong enough to create any disturbance throughout the entire dark space, but it was enough for Velmira to know that her words had been heard.
Something then began emerging from the ground itself, slowly at first before rising completely into the empty air, it was a small spherical object surrounded by an intense light blue glow, the brightness was strong enough to illuminate the darkness around it and create a visible area where the endless blackness could no longer be seen clearly, making the small sphere stand out as the only source of light in the entire place.
Velmira didn’t show even the slightest amount of surprise after seeing it, she already knew what this spherical object was and had been waiting for exactly this appearance, while the sphere continued rising through the air, slowly reaching the same height as Velmira’s face, its intense light blue glow gradually becoming weaker as it moved closer to her.
It eventually stopped only an inch away from her face, remaining completely motionless while Velmira stared at it without saying anything for a brief moment, the close distance allowed the light from the sphere to illuminate part of her face, while everything behind her still remained covered by the surrounding darkness.
"I was waiting for more than an hour, what kept you so busy that you couldn’t even come meet me?" Velmira finally asked, her voice carrying both curiosity and suspicion, she wasn’t angry about the delay, but the fact that Eliomor had made her wait this long without giving any explanation was enough for her to question what had kept him occupied.
The spherical object remained silent for several moments after hearing her question, its light continuing to glow faintly in front of Velmira’s face, and unlike Velmira, it didn’t seem interested in answering the question immediately, as if there was something else it had already decided to speak about first.
