The mysterious figure sensed the dissipating darkness around him, a clear sign that the boy's energy was waning. Such abilities, though powerful, often came with the significant drawback of draining the user's energy, acting as a last resort in dire situations.
As light and normalcy returned to the forest, the figure's acute senses were restored. Eager to find the boy, the figure resumed its pursuit, confident in its ability to track him down.
Heading west and then up the mountain, it followed the boy's scent.
However, upon reaching the summit, the scent vanished as if the boy had disappeared into thin air. The figure knew that in this world, such disappearance was unlikely – unlike on its own planet, where beings of immense power could teleport effortlessly.
Considering the boy's apparent fear and lack of immediate teleportation, the figure deduced the boy was not a being of significant power.
