Vale swiftly entered his Phantasm State and spread out his Magic Zone...
After doing this, he activated one of his Spell Models, the Dragon's True Sight!
His eyes turned blue, and his pupils constricted, similar to that of a Dragon.
Then, he observed the surroundings and looked around the trees, rocks, the waning corpses of the Evil Creatures, and the insects and animals hiding around, and soon, he found what he was looking for: his party mbers.
He first sensed Faith, followed by Pearl, who seed to be observing him as well.
'Ahh… Is she worried about ?' Vale montarily thought before inspecting her with his True Sight.
'I can feel her Divinity and even the Magic Artifacts she had. Furthermore, I can sense her... soul? What's this?' Vale felt a bit confused as he tried to find the difference between his normal detection spells and the True Sight Spell.
After a mont of thought, he finally understood.
'So it's like that...' Vale finally realized that it was Pearl's true soul, the Master of the Mystic Tower. It was certainly prominent and befitting of her status as a Tower Master.
Vale also noticed so ethereal glow in the space around her.
It was the sa for Faith. It was sothing he couldn't see from animals and insects, so he could only guess that it was similar to Arcane Energy.
As he focused his True Sight on Faith, he finally understood her true identity.
"So she's really a Half-Spirit... Furthermore, she's carrying a Mystical Artifact that's glowing too brightly." Vale muttered while feeling a bit shocked.
After all, he thought that the ring she had was just a normal Artifact. He didn't expect the Dragon's True Sight to see sothing in it.
'So this true sight can see the true nature of magic items… And if I'm not wrong, it can also see through disguises, invisibility, and shapeshifting…' Vale mused as he appreciated the new Spell Fusion.
He believed that with this Spell, he'd no longer get tricked or get caught in traps.
Of course, Vale's trial didn't end at that. Once the Dragon's True Sight was activated, it would last for 3 minutes, so he had to make full use of it.
He then started inspecting his body or, specifically, the Spell Models he had recorded. This allowed him to fully understand the mysteries of the Spell Models recorded in his Spell Lights.
Then, as he inspected the Spell Model of the Dragon's True Sight, he realized that it could also find the weakness of his target!
However, he had to observe his target for about 30 seconds before he could see it!
It was actually a new power he acquired after upgrading it to the Advanced Realm.
'Aweso…' Vale couldn't help but feel glad about this as he imdiately tried it on Pearl.
"Let's see…" He muttered as he confird that Pearl was no longer paying attention to him.
He observed her for 30 seconds, and soon, he found her three weaknesses…
Three red lights started emitting from Pearl's body, indicating her weakness.
It was the Divine Crystals that were in her pocket, her left eye, and her heart.
Vale could understand that heart was her weakness since anyone could die from it. However, he couldn't understand why her left eye was a weakness but not her right eye.
As for the Divine Crystal, it must be connected to her Divinity, so it could certainly beco fatal to her as well.
'Interesting…' Vale mused as he shifted his attention to Faith…
Just like what he did a few monts ago, he also observed Faith for 30 seconds.
'There's no resistance, huh… Great.' Vale thought, satisfied that his True Sight wasn't deflected like his Divine Sense.
However, he only found one weakness in Faith. It was actually her belly… To be exact, it seed as if there was a core in her belly.
Vale felt a bit confused by what he saw, but since she wasn't an enemy he had to fight, he decided that it was enough.
After removing any traces of the Evil Creatures, he returned to their resting spot.
***
After a grueling day of journeying through treacherous terrain near the border of the Ruri Kingdom, Vale's party finally arrived at the place where Faith believed Chad and Lisa were being held.
"So it's this place… How did they build this deep into the forest?" Faith muttered.
She ticulously followed the ethereal traces of Chad's Ghost King Body and had no idea about the place they were heading to.
As the sun began its descent, casting long shadows across the dense forest, they stumbled upon a haunting sight.
Nestled amidst the heart of the woods stood a castle, its eerie silhouette shrouded in the fading light.
The imposing structure exuded an aura of ancient malevolence, and Faith suddenly felt worried that Lisa and Chad were being held by a Dark Magician or any Arcanists who didn't care about human lives.
These Arcanists are those Researchers who would do anything for the advancent of their research, whether it was experinting on humans or sothing even more horrible.
"We must find them quickly…"
The very thought of what horrors might await them within those dark walls filled her with a deep sense of urgency.
Vale also observed the castle and couldn't shake the nagging suspicion that this castle, although lacking the awe-inspiring grandeur of the previous Vampire Castle they had infiltrated, might be another stronghold of the vampiric kind.
'It looks like an abandoned castle from the outside, but with the Dragon's True Sight, it's completely different. The one living is stronger than the Vampire before.' He mused.
As they stood before the foreboding structure, an intense tension enveloped the group…
"We've been found…" Vale muttered. He didn't know where it ca from, but he was sure that a detection spell was just used on them.
Faith and Pearl didn't notice this so they looked at him for a mont.
"Are we being invited?" Pearl asked.
"If we're not hard, perhaps we can just negotiate…" Faith added.
They didn't express their doubt but trusted Vale with his sense.
