For a brief moment during my fight with Aunt Hua, I foolishly thought her magical trick was to cast visual illusions solely upon herself to dodge my attacks.
But nope. She had played an illusion on everything! She had cast a spell over the whole entire forest, hijacking our brains and heavily warping our whole internal perception of reality itself!
Exactly three seconds after successfully cracking the magical trick like the undeniable genius I was, I heard Aunt Hua's voice through the trees. It was delivered in a taunting voice.
"Playing a little game of hide and seek, are we?"
'Perfect fuckin' timing,' I thought to myself, leaning my head back against the tree trunk as an arrogant smirk played across my face.
I confidently stood up from the dirt, dusting off my pants, and boldly stepped out from behind the tree, intentionally showing myself directly to her.
"Ah, there you are," she said, floating down slightly. "You honestly got me for a quick moment there."
