Chapter 366: Eighty-Fourth Floor, Sea of Lava (7)
W-what?
For a fleeting moment, my mind completely shut down. It was the first time something I had placed inside the mimic had exited without my permission.
Contrasting my stunned state, the horn floated unwaveringly in midair. Though it pointed toward the lava, it wasn’t aimed directly downward. Instead, it angled slightly forward and below.
Now isn’t the time to stand still.
The horn still shimmered a luminous, bluish-gold hue, and I snapped back to myself.
Fortunately, my ability to perceive and process events moved at a pace far removed from that of the average person.
In hindsight, that was only natural. Someone who could move at the speed of lightning experienced time far differently than a normal human.
I swiftly cast Shadow Veil. Darkness infused with my divinity, cloaking the area and cutting off the light entirely.
They probably saw it already, right?
It happened in a blink, and the horn had moved swiftly. Unfortunately, not quickly enough that the navigator wouldn’t have noticed.
Roughly two seconds had passed from the moment the horn burst from the mimic and twirled in the air. Given that I had spent about half a second surprised, he would have had a full one and a half seconds to notice the abnormality.
Even if he had been focused on the map, a sudden flash of light would have naturally drawn his attention.
