Formation
Ryu's pupils constricted.
This was the most layered and complex illusion formation he had ever heard of, let alone been in. For a man who had spent much of his first life adventuring in high level Ruins, this was an absolutely shocking realization for Ryu.
Even when his Pupils hadn't opened even a single seal, let alone the more than 50 he had opened now, he had never been so stumped by a formation. And yet, here he was.
At the last moment, he managed to realize that Yaana's grip slipping from his own was nothing but a trick of the mind. It wanted to use this feeling to make him grasp out at her, but that action alone would have only caused his grip to truly loosen. At that point, it would just be a matter of forcing him to deviate slightly from the path Yaana was running on. By then, they would be completely separated and it would be impossible to tell if he would ever manage to find Yaana again.
Ryu's gaze flickered with fury.
