Ever since Krusk returned to his original form, he was able to use telepathy if he wanted to, so Vincent was not surprised when he suddenly heard Krusk's voice in his head.
'The Overseer? Where? Are we going to be attacked?' Vincent worriedly asked as he looked behind him.
Luckily, he brought Faviona with him so they should be able to escape using her mysterious technique if they have to. It must be remembered that she was the one who allowed her group to bypass their City Barrier almost without being noticed.
'I can only feel the traces of his presence here… I can't tell if he's close or if he already left… My senses have become too sensitive so I might be sensing the traces he left a few days ago or something…' Krusk added.
'I see… However, we still have to remain vigilant. Also, even if the Overseer appeared, make sure not to fight him. We just need to flee since we can't beat that being at the moment.' Vincent reminded.
'Of course… Don't worry, I already learned my lesson.' Krusk replied.
As soon as he ended his conversation with Krusk, Vincent increased their speed not caring about Krusk's flying speed who was following behind them. In any case, Krusk should be able to follow them since he knows where the dungeon is.
"Vincent?" Ayla looked at the man beside him curiously. She noticed the sudden pick up in their speed so she wanted to know what was happening.
"There might be an enemy around this area so I thought that we should leave as quickly as possible…" Vincent responded.
"An enemy?" Ayla jolted as soon as she heard this.
"Yes… It's better to avoid them for now… Don't worry about it."
Vincent replied.
He can only hope that the Overseer will just overlook them since there shouldn't anything in the airship that would interest him.
***
A peaceful 30 minutes had passed and Vincent can finally heave a sigh of relief.
Krusk confirmed that he can no longer feel the presence of the Overseer.
Vincent can only think that the Overseer just destroyed another dungeon entrance around that area leaving some of his traces behind.
"Silent Creek Dungeon, huh… I've only heard about this place because of the flower that can cure the recent plague. I didn't expect that you will bring us here."
Dianne commented after disembarking and seeing the desolate surroundings leading to the dungeon entrance. There were settlements around the dungeon but there are no people around.
Well, that was to be expected since the war against the Black Magic Organization is still going on. Guarding these dungeons wasn't their priority.
"Hmmm… I don't think that the Mythical Beast can fit in the entrance…" Ayla remarked after seeing the small cave where the entrance is located.
"It's fine… All dungeon entrances are quite special… As long as there is enough room inside, the young dragon only has to make contact with the entrance and he can enter without any issues." Professor Turhan answered with a smile.
Ayla may have entered a dungeon but it was only for research purposes and not some exploration mission.
"I see…"
Noticing that she was the only one who was curious, she felt a bit embarrassed but she immediately composed herself…
In any case, she wanted to see how this would happen.
In the meantime, Vincent surveyed the surroundings for a while and confirmed that this place has truly been abandoned…
Since the plague has already been taken care of, there is no need for the Dispelling Death Flower that can only be found in this dungeon.
"Let go inside…" Vincent said as he walked towards the entrance…
However, as he got near, he recalled that the Overseer might be around here and it would be dangerous if the dungeon's entrance was closed while they were inside.
"Wait… Professor Turhan, can you help me set up this Formation…" Vincent said as he pulled out a Formation Core.
It is a formation core he bought from Lola… It doesn't have offensive capabilities but it can be used to camouflage the surroundings.
[ Formation Core: Traceless Optical Illusion ]
[ Quality: Pseudo-Legendary
Durability: 1,300/1,300
Number of Enhancements: 9/10
Stored Mana: 21,000 units
Description: A core capable of summoning an Illusion Field that covers a 100-meter radius. Once the stored mana was consumed, durability will be used to maintain the formation.
Traceless Optical Illusion: A formation art that could simulate three 50 kinds of Illusion. Anyone who entered the field would have their senses weaken by 80% and mana consumption will increase by 40%
Remarks: Every enhancement will improve the effectiveness of the item. ]
"This looks incredible…" Turhan said after holding the Formation Core. Although he doesn't have Vincent's Advanced Appraisal Skills, he still has an inspection skill that allows him to see the grade and basic effect of the Formation Core.
"Ohhh… It's also enhanced." Ayla added after noticing a few things about the core.
"You can tell that even without touching it?" Vincent asked curiously.
"It's not that difficult… Besides, Formation Cores that reach the level of a Pseudo-Legendary aren't a common thing…" Ayla answered matter of factly.
Although there are a lot of new Formation Arts, they were mostly Unique Rank and on some rare occasions, an Epic Rank would appear.
Vincent's Pseudo-Legendary Rank Formation is definitely not something that you would see every day.
"Interesting… This is a Formation Art that creates an Illusion… Anyone can enter and exit within the field but this is probably the best trapping Formation Art I have ever seen…" Professor Turhan commented.
He can tell that even though it only creates an illusion, it is far more dangerous since it can affect the mind of the people who unknowingly entered the Formation. An undetectable Formation is more dangerous than those that can be seen and touched.
With this in mind, Turhan proceeded to set up the Formation with Vincent's help. As for the reason why Vincent asked him to do this, it is simply because the formation requires not just sufficient Mana but also Consciousness or Mental Energy.
Needless to say, Turhan has a stronger Mental Energy than Vincent since in the first place, Turhan was the one who introduced him to this type of Energy.
This only took about 15 minutes to complete and as soon as they confirmed that the illusion is working well, they finally entered the dungeon…
Thud… Thud… Thud…
As soon as they entered, Vincent realized that the aura of the Tree of Faith has become even stronger!
