At first, Ian thought he had seen a Radiant Nun—but soon, as the Dragon Maiden's phantom gradually became more focused, the image transmitted by the drone became clearer, and he understood that the person before him was not the Sister Huai Guang he knew.
But it indeed gave him a sense of familiarity.
Under the dim moonlight, Ian saw a 'Phantasm.' To put it more academically, it was a 'Projection of the Phantasmal Realm.'
Yes, in the Silver Chip, these phantasms were known as Projections of the Phantasmal Realm, which essentially were the soul projections of living beings in the Domain of Void reflected back into the real world as silhouettes... Although it sounded quite roundabout, in reality, they possessed tangible power, which, due to the intrinsic changes within the Domain of Void itself, could even make the phantasmal projections more powerful than the original beings.
What truly surprised both Ian and Tres was the appearance of this phantasmal projection.
