But in reality, Festa had been flying deep into the archipelago the whole time, surrounded by usable earth resources that he was simply unaware of.
It could be said that, in this battle, besides the "Psychic Bombardment" used as a distraction, the most significant contribution came from the 100-level "Sense Tampering" and "Mental Illusion".
"Sense Tampering" not only caused Festa to lose his flight accuracy but also made him believe he was above the sea surface, unable to cast spells like "Rock Giant Summoning."
"Mental Illusion" created an imaginary enemy in Festa's field of vision.
This illusionary adversary cried out things like "caught you" and summoned a rock cage to imprison several targets. Festa thought he had captured Noland, but in reality, he had only caught a few Mechanos near him.
These Mechanos had been subjected to "Mental Illusion" by Noland, and naturally, they would appear as the person Festa wanted to see in his eyes.
