The Next Morning.
Lia and Selain started their journey to reach the 'core' of the forest's illusion and headed deeper into the cave after they both had enough rest.
"This cave seems quite normal, even though it's the core area of the whole forest of illusion…"
Selain also nodded her head at Lia's words and said,
"Yeah, it's weirder that this place is much normal when compared to the rest of the forest… Unlike the absurd feeling that everything gives out there, it gives a sense of mystery and hidden danger…"
Lia suddenly thought of something and asked Kai in her mind.
'Can you sense the presence of that SS-ranker even now?'
To that question, Kai replied in a calm voice.
[I can… Although I am using my mana detection in a much more concealed way so as to avoid the senses of the other party, I can for sure confirm that the other party is indeed an SS-ranker…]
