His heart thundering within his chest, Percy gazed between the two people in the small house: one was lying unconscious with his head in the pitcher of beer on the table, and the other was calmly wiping his hands of the moisture that remained on them, showing the reason behind him stepping out of the room.
First… How the hell had he not detected him?
Percy got the answer a moment later: when he tried to use his senses to scan the man in front of him in order to understand his power level, he witnessed the most astonishing thing: it was as if he was talking to someone who wasn't even standing there.
No matter how much Percy checked, it didn't change: there was no shadow, no scent and even no signs of a heartbeat.
What the hell was going on? Was this just an apparition, then?
But if so, that would be even worse!
