Nick manipulated the CEO's perception and followed the CCO.
While using this ability cost quite a lot of Zephyx, manipulating the perception of an Expert wasn't very difficult for Nick.
The CCO kept calmly pulling the cart behind him as he kept walking down the dark hallway.
Nick kept watching him, trying to figure out how powerful the Specter was.
But it wasn't possible.
'He feels like a human Veteran to me,' Nick thought. 'However, he has to be a powerful Elder at least. The fact that he is able to fool my senses tells me as much.'
'Even though I know exactly that he is a Specter, and even though I'm trying my best to feel his true power, I can't see through his ability.'
'He has to be a Fanatic at the very least.'
Luckily, Nick's ability was still active, which meant that the CCO didn't know that he was there.
