Clovis took a peek outside, wondering if the enemy was still around.
But as he expected, people thought that he had teleported back, so no one would suspect a thing.
The reason he did it in front of the Sword Saint's eyes was to make him believe teleportation was a thing. He wouldn't suspect that Clovis just disappeared for a bit.
Of course, before coming out, Clovis and the two girls had eaten to boost their power in case they were still surrounded. But Clovis had double-checked everything, including the new travel service. He made sure the map didn't show any danger.
"Well, it looks like no one is here. Let's go home." Clovis smiled.
…
While they were on their way home, the enemy had made the first move.
They stole a painting and an artifact from Clovis' ally and examined them.
The Spear Saint couldn't help but frown after receiving a report. "Did he really use his blood?"
"Yes, sir. We've confirmed that there's blood in it. Unfortunately, we can't find a match."
