The next day, the pursuit of the assassin continued, but Malin felt that if they hadn't caught him yesterday, it was even less likely they would catch him today.
During the replay of yesterday's battle, Malin discovered a problem—from the very beginning to the end, he had never been able to truly confirm the assassin's form: whether the Transcendent had used abilities similar to vaporization or something like an Elemental Avatar from a Spell Formation. Neither Malin nor anyone else could figure it out.
Colin said there were none of the fluctuations that are unique to Spell Formation use, but in the obscure world of the Transcendents, no one knew if such abilities existed in all Sequences.
Besides those very common Sequences that let the public know their abilities, who could guarantee it wasn't some magical item causing this effect?
