|
||
The Black Lotus Guild had a unique way of tracking their members—through their bloodline connection.
|
||
|
||
No matter where a guild member was, as long as they were part of the Black Lotus Guild, they could be sensed by others who shared the same bloodline.
|
||
|
||
It was how they monitored missions, how they ensured loyalty, how they always knew who was where.
|
||
|
||
And right now, Max was caught in that very net.
|
||
|
||
Max needed to leave—even if just for a short while.
|
||
|
||
But he knew Klaus.
|
||
|
||
He knew how the Black Lotus Guild operated.
|
||
|
||
And he knew that if he so much as stepped out of his room, they would immediately sense that he was gone.
|
||
|
||
It wasn't just about physical presence.
|
||
|
||
It was about his bloodline signature.
|
||
|
||
And that was the problem.
|
||
|
||
Because Max wasn't just planning on sneaking around—
|
||
|
||
He was about to vanish entirely from their awareness.
|
||
|
||
And that was impossible—unless he had a way to deceive the very bloodline that connected them all.
|
||
|
||
His bloodline.
|
||
|
||
But as of now, he currently didn't have a way to do that.
|
||
|
||
Max stared at the glass of his own blood, the deep crimson liquid swirling faintly as he held it in his hand.
|
||
|
||
This would be the key.
|
||
|
||
'If my bloodline is what connects me to them—then I'll use that same bloodline to deceive them.'
|
||
|
||
Max stared at the glass of blood, his mind running through possibilities.
|
||
|
||
He had never attempted this before.
|
||
|
||
He wasn't even sure if it was possible.
|
||
|
||
But—
|
||
|
||
'There's always a first time for everything.'
|
||
|
||
With a calm exhale, he placed the glass carefully on the table beside his bed.
|
||
|
||
This blood already carried his scent, his essence—his very being.
|
||
|
||
Now, all he needed to do was take it one step further.
|
||
|
||
"I need to create an illusion… an illusion that this blood is my bloodline itself."
|
||
|
||
If he could do that—then to anyone sensing through the Black Lotus connection, his presence would still remain in the room, even when he left.
|
||
|
||
No suspicion. No alarms. No risk of being tracked.
|
||
|
||
Max reached into his spatial storage, pulling out a rune brush and a small piece of parchment paper.
|
||
|
||
Holding the brush in his hand, he closed his eyes for a moment.
|
||
|
||
He had to calm his mind.
|
||
|
||
What he was about to attempt was not ordinary rune crafting.
|
||
|
||
This was a deception against something deeply ingrained in his very existence—his bloodline.
|
||
|
||
His eyes opened, sharp with focus.
|
||
|
||
Summoning the power of his black flames, he let the dark fire ignite around his hand, wrapping his fingers in dancing tendrils of heatless energy.
|
||
|
||
The flame curled around the rune brush, flickering in an almost unnatural rhythm.
|
||
|
||
But—
|
||
|
||
Even as the brush was engulfed in black flames, it didn't burn.
|
||
|
||
Because of his Level 3 Flame Aura, Max's control over his flames had become so precise, so refined, that he could hold pure destruction in his palm…
|
||
|
||
Without letting it consume anything unless he willed it.
|
||
|
||
This was the fine control he had mastered.
|
||
|
||
And now—
|
||
|
||
He was about to put it to use.
|
||
|
||
Max slowly lowered the rune brush, the black flames swirling as he prepared to write the rune of deception.
|
||
|
||
'If this works…'
|
||
|
||
A small smirk tugged at his lips.
|
||
|
||
'Then I'll be completely invisible to them or the exact opposite.'
|
||
|
||
Max's fingers tightened around the rune brush as he focused deeply.𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
|
||
|
||
He had always known that his soul power was immense—far beyond that of most experts at his level.
|
||
|
||
And now, he would use it to his advantage.
|
||
|
||
'My soul power is exceptionally high… I can create a Rank 3 Rune without issue.'
|
||
|
||
With that thought, he reached deep into his soul reserves, summoning an overwhelming but controlled flow of power.
|
||
|
||
It was time to begin.
|
||
|
||
With a steady hand, Max guided the rune brush across the parchment.
|
||
|
||
Every stroke was calculated, flowing like an artist's masterpiece.
|
||
|
||
The ink, infused with his soul energy, pulsed slightly with an ethereal glow, flickering between black and faint blue.
|
||
|
||
Minutes passed.
|
||
|
||
The rune slowly took shape, its intricate lines perfectly balanced, its structure imbued with power.
|
||
|
||
It wasn't overly complex—just a simple illusion rune.
|
||
|
||
But simplicity was relative.
|
||
|
||
To Max, this was basic—something he could craft with ease.
|
||
|
||
To anyone else, it would be a work of mastery.
|
||
|
||
Because unlike ordinary runes—
|
||
|
||
This one glowed.
|
||
|
||
Not just any glow—
|
||
|
||
It burned with black flames.
|
||
|
||
The subtle black flames flickered softly around the rune's edges, as if the parchment itself was alive.
|
||
|
||
If anyone else had seen it, they would be shocked beyond belief.
|
||
|
||
To engrave fire into a rune—to fuse Flame Aura, Soul Power, and Rune Crafting into a single piece of work—
|
||
|
||
It was something beyond the reach of most cultivators.
|
||
|
||
But for Max—
|
||
|
||
It was instinctual.
|
||
|
||
Because his black flames weren't just an element he controlled.
|
||
|
||
They were part of him.
|
||
|
||
Something so deeply ingrained in his being that they obeyed his will effortlessly.
|
||
|
||
With a final stroke, he completed the rune.
|
||
|
||
The glowing black flames dimmed slightly, settling into a stable state—its power locked within.
|
||
|
||
Max leaned back, staring at the rune with a satisfied smirk.
|
||
|
||
'This should be enough.'
|
||
|
||
Now—
|
||
|
||
All he had to do was activate it.
|
||
|
||
Max didn't hesitate.
|
||
|
||
He took the newly crafted rune and slapped it directly onto the glass carrying his blood.
|
||
|
||
The moment it stuck, a powerful aura erupted from it—
|
||
|
||
An identical aura to his own bloodline.
|
||
|
||
The very same energy that the members of the Black Lotus Guild used to sense and track each other.
|
||
|
||
Max remained still, carefully controlling the flow of the aura, ensuring it didn't immediately spread beyond the walls of his room.
|
||
|
||
For now, it was contained—completely under his command.
|
||
|
||
'It's done.'
|
||
|
||
With the illusion now active, he could leave without any suspicion.
|
||
|
||
Max quietly made his way to the door, pressing a hand against it.
|
||
|
||
Then—
|
||
|
||
He stepped outside.
|
||
|
||
The moment Max exited the room, the aura from the glass seamlessly replaced him, filling the space as if he had never moved.
|
||
|
||
To anyone sensing through the bloodline connection, Max was still inside—sitting in his room, completely unaware of anything happening outside.
|
||
|
||
Even Max himself, now standing outside, could feel it.
|
||
|
||
He focused on his senses, reaching out to check the presence inside his room.
|
||
|
||
What he felt stunned him.
|
||
|
||
'It's working perfectly.'
|
||
|
||
He could sense himself—his own bloodline, his own aura—inside the room.
|
||
|
||
It was as if he had never left.
|
||
|
||
A small smirk tugged at his lips.
|
||
|
||
'This is even more effective than I thought.'
|
||
|
||
Max slipped into the shadows, walking silently through the garden, his movements precise and calculated.
|
||
|
||
He was no longer concerned about being tracked—his plan had worked flawlessly.
|
||
|
||
Now, he had only one focus.
|
||
|
||
Finding Alice.
|
||
|
||
With that thought, Max stepped beyond the mansion's perimeter, leaving the Black Lotus Guild's quarters behind.
|
||
|
||
And just like that—
|
||
|
||
He vanished into the Sun Palace. |
