The two moved forward stealthily, stopping after a while — far ahead, there was someone. But Niara couldn't see or sense anything at all. Holding her hand, Darian sent the image of the figure into her mind.
For anyone else, nothing could be seen or felt, but Darian could perceive them through their karma. Then, using chaos power in his eyes, he could see everything clearly.
It was a masked, hooded figure, silently camouflaged in a large tree. Completely still, its aura blended perfectly with the surroundings.
'Is it a sentinel?' Niara asked mentally, surprised. Theoretically, they were still far from the important area.
Darian shook his head. 'Doesn't look like it. If it were a sentinel, its body wouldn't be so rigid, and its fluctuations wouldn't be so sharp. It seems really nervous.'
The two stayed still, watching for a while. After a few minutes, the person suddenly moved, darting toward a rock like lightning.
Then, blood splattered — he was killed, exploding on the spot.
