Cael returned to his group, and they left the area, moving in the opposite direction from Elara's team.
The forest was quieter now.
The teams that remained were the ones who had survived this long, and they knew better than to announce their presence.
Time passed. The barrier shrank again. And again.
Cael and his team started to come across other teams.
Brief skirmishes. Quick engagements.
During these battles, Cael used only wind and moonlight. He did not use any of his other skills, not even Dream Weave.
There was a reason for this.
In this world, a ranker had at most six skills, and as few as three.
Cael had already shown several to Seraphina. Mana Sovereignty. Death Reaper's Dominion. Clones. Disguise. Teleportation. Now Dream Weave was added to that list.
But publicly, he was not going to use clones or Mana Sovereignty.
Those would raise too many questions. Dream Weave, however, was safe. Illusions were rare but not unheard of. He could use it without issue.
