Statement

Dyon silently smiled to himself, as though he already knew that his ploy had worked.

After leaving The Cathedral, he liesurely left the city. After another slight of hand, a few concealment arrays, and some flashing lights, Dyon reappeared as though he had just come back from a journey before strolling out of the city.

It wasn't long before Dyon made it back to Soul Rending Peak territory. In order to keep up appearances, he sped through the forest, but didn't go so far as to injure himself again.

'Wait… Am I imagining things?...'

Dyon was currently standing in the very same spot he had lost his pursuer in. By all rights, there should have been a massive crater along with multiple destroyed trees, yet here everything was, completely unscathed.

Anyone else might not have noticed this, or maybe even ignored it, assuming that they had misremembered the particular location. However, Dyon had absolute confidence in his memory. This had to be the place!
