Chapter 62: Escape
Kael didn’t think twice and jumped to his side, even though he felt that the only safe zone was the tree. It simply gave him strange vibes, so Kael didn’t trust his instincts.
He landed a short distance away and looked around but found nothing. The area was the same as before, and nothing was there that could have triggered his instincts.
’What the hell is happening?’ Kael thought, glancing back at his teammates who were standing side by side, ready for any potential attacks.
’At least they’ve got brains, so I don’t need to help them,’ Kael thought, as he once again looked around and then stared at the tree.
It stood out from the other trees because of its color, but there was nothing else in particular about it.
’No, there is something strange about it. I felt danger, and the first thing I wanted to do was to get close to it, as if it would save me.’
That was indeed strange, and it made him remember some of the Corrupted Creatures he had faced back on Earth. It gave him a rough idea of what was happening.
’I am under an illusion—and that same illusion is also probably influencing my thoughts.’
Kael wasn’t delusional enough to think that he wouldn’t fall for any illusion just because he was a dragon. Sure, he had high resistance to illusions and anything related to mind manipulation, but resistance wasn’t the same as immunity.
He had confirmed that he could still be put under illusion if it came from very high-level sources when he had touched the Hand of Nyraxx.
Now that he was in a construct made by a direct subordinate of a God, there was no way his illusion resistance would work. But it wasn’t completely useless, as it had made him realize the oddity of the world.
