Power of Runes

As soon as Ash’s mind processed the sudden appearance of the magic circles surrounding him, he instinctively activated teleportation, vanishing from the spot.

At the very same moment, Ash also activated Absolute Concealment, completely erasing his presence from the world.

I am really glad I left all those items back at the cave...

Ash had intentionally stored away the Cursed Eye, the Unknown Fragment, and the Rune of Time before coming here, and looking back now, that decision had definitely been the right one.

Sigh... looks like I won’t be using Concealment for a surprise attack after all.

He had originally intended to keep Absolute Concealment as his hidden trump card, something he would only use at the very last second—precisely when he was just one meter away from the heart.

Based on the detailed description of the skill, Absolute Concealment rendered him completely undetectable to all senses, unless someone directly looked at him with their own eyes.

And since the demonic heart lacked any eyes, it would have been the perfect target.

If everything had gone according to plan, Ash could have vanished in front of it, and before the heart even realized what had happened, he would have already launched his strike.

The confusion caused by his sudden disappearance would have bought him the precious few seconds needed for a surprise attack.

That was why he had saved the skill up until now—waiting for the perfect moment.
