(Leo's POV)
Leo snickered non-stop, when he perfectly timed his last-known location to be the road, when he wasn't actually traveling by the road anymore.
In reality, he was traveling through the forest; however, to misguide his opponents, he made this perfectly timed maneuver appear as though he was still on the road at the precise time his location was revealed, to leave a false trail that would waste the time and resources of those who pursued him.
'Take that! Fools–' he thought, as he started to venture deep into the forest again, his mind recounting the events of the last half hour, where he duped not one, but hundreds of adventurers, multiple times over.
