Chapter 88: The Bloodthirsty Sword (2)
Serati’s suggestion was straightforward. They would keep everything the same but one.
"You’re saying we should completely erase Lefan’s presence?"
"Yes, Captain Ziken. Can you make it so the demonic sword can’t detect him at all?"
"It should be possible."
How exactly did the demonic sword Mareda locate its targets? One thing was clear. It wasn’t through the host’s vision. The girl with the demonic sword had made a beeline toward Lefan, even though he had been hidden deep within the mansion and completely out of sight.
"My guess is it detects scent or the resonance of a soul."
These were common methods used by undead creatures or demons summoned through necromancy to locate their prey. Fortunately, there were seventh-circle spells specifically designed to block both.
"Then I’ll set up a magic circle and place Lefan inside it."
"Please do."
This only made things even more claustrophobic for Lefan.
Sitting in the center of the magic circle etched into his room, he let out a deep sigh. "Ugh, this really is turning into prison life, isn’t it?"
