I tried a couple of times to contact Ashlyn, but seeing it is futile, I left it be and looked at the environment I am in. The Blood Mist had no change; it had the same aura and color as it had in the illusion.
If it were not for me feeling the connection with Ashlyn, I would have thought I was still in the Illusion.
I looked around to get a sense of direction but got no answer, and when I used my killing Rule, which is shaking madly for some time to sense the direction, things got even more confusing that I immediately cut off my connection with the killing Rule.
Usually, when I use the killing Rule, I instantly get the idea about the directions, but this time when I used it, my senses have become haywire that made everything even more confusing.
