Pod
Ryu vanished into the large forest, his body cloaked in a veil of darkness. While the others thought that he would make his way to the Sect, Ryu chose to take his time. He had no intention of entering that lion's den now. Since he had chosen to finally try his hand at the Dream World: Osiris, he would simply find a location where he wouldn't have to worry about being interrupted.
Not long after Ryu disappeared, several shadows appeared where he had just been. They looked around in confusion as though wondering how a Middle Divine Vessel Realm pup could possibly elude them.
However, there was no denying the fact that it had happened right before them.
"Could he have not headed toward the Sect?"
"Impossible. I'm certain that he took this path."
"Well, he's clearly not here, so how do you explain that?"
The shadows looked toward each other but clearly didn't have a good answer for one another.
