In an unknown inn, two individuals, a man and a woman, sat next to each other.

A red spirit, taking the form of a small fox, sat before them, pouring its mana in a runic circle above it to play a record from its memory.

Such an advanced spell required not only an incredible mana control, but also an insane mind and memory.

Shown on the record was a young handsome man wearing black blindfold and a fancy outfit who was observed silently by the spirit. But suddenly, the man noticed the spirit and melted into a nearby shadow.

The spirit didn't hesitate to leave the area as it hid behind a tree. Then, the spirit's view in the record changed, showing a fancy room instead of a cold forest. And the first person who was shown was a gorgeous woman with brown eyes and brown hair tied in a ponytail.

The record stopped suddenly, then the spirit jumped to the shoulder of the woman in the room.

The man looked at the woman with tired eyes, she was the same woman from the record.

"Clara…" He called, his voice hollow with a hint of fury: "Are you sure that's him? The person, not the clothes?"

Clara patted her spirit lightly with her finger and sighed with a grim expression: "That's the problem. Chilli has to be close to him in order to identify his heat signature. He might be the person we're looking for, but he might be just a random man who coincidentally bought the outfit."

The man's teeth started trembling. At first glance, he looked afraid, stressed, or nervous, but that was far from the truth.

BAM!

He brutally slammed his hand into the table, crushing it with ease. Simultaneously, a strange phenomenon occurred to his body.

His body heat was increasing, traces of smoke seemed to be rising from his body, and his blood seemed to be boiling literally!

"Damn it! Clara, we'll go there! Even if he isn't the one we're looking for, he'll definitely give us a clue." The man shouted with intense fury.

He was furious.

And his emotions seemed to cause visible changes to his body!

Clara suddenly hugged his arm, ignoring his intense heat. Simultaneously, the fox spirit jumped to his shoulder and rubbed its head with his cheek.

"Relax." Clara whispered calmly: "Keep your emotions steady. Don't you remember our training? Take a deep breath and cool your head."

The man listened to her and closed his eyes, slowly inhaling and exhaling repeatedly. A few moments later, his body returned to its former state.

For a moment, none of them muttered a word, as the man gently grabbed Clara's hand and kissed her hand's back.

"We'll start traveling tomorrow." Clara smiled: "Just don't attack him before we confirm our suspicions. Seeing his blindfold, that man might be a noble vampire. If we provoke him for no reason, that might cause some problems."

The man nodded before casually grabbing something from his pocket. It was a small tube of a finely-cut herb wrapped in paper.

He brought one side to his mouth and lit the other side with a spark that was produced by the tip of his finger. Next, he inhaled deeply, letting out blue smoke from his nose.

His mind relaxed completely, and his blood began to flow better than before.

He continued smoking the tube until only a small piece of it was left.

"Don't you think you might become addicted if you keep using this herb?" Clara caressed his cheek gently, her eyes showing visible worry: "We have to fix your hot temper as soon as possible."

The man sighed helplessly: "Sorry… I'll do my best."

In the treehouse.

"And now let's test it."

Behind a seat with a hole, Ruby, still wrapped in red vines, crouched and infused her mana into a small runic array. The next moment, water began to splash out from the seat.

"It works." She raised her head proudly: "It took more time than expected, but everything is done now."

Standing behind her, Dante smiled as he imagined himself finally using the bathroom after so long.

'Finally! And in a few days, the treehouse is finally completed!'

A few days had already passed. Ruby worked relentlessly in building the treehouse. With the help of her aspect and experience, she finished everything in only a few days.

Dante gently placed his hand on Ruby's head. Her eyes widened suddenly as she opened her mouth: "Did you finally—!"

Before she could continue her question, Dante's arm released an inky-black shadow that covered him and her.

Pseudo-Shadow Technique — Blind Shadowstep!

The next moment, they both appeared at the stairs.

"You can do this?!" Ruby's jaw dropped in disbelief.

Dante nodded silently, though he couldn't hide the subtle twitches of his lips.

After some efforts, Dante successfully found a way to teleport other people with him. It was simple: he only had to cover them in a shadow like how he covered his belongings and clothes, though it was significantly harder than covering a few small items.

He learned that because he wanted Fafnir to have a way to run with Elizabeth if something happened in the camp. From the recent developments at the camp, Dante couldn't help but feel paranoid.

Unlike him, Fafnir couldn't see luck. He had some of Dante's traits like Demonic Dragon, Demon of Temptation, Sorcerer's Gift, all the silver Ether traits, and likely the fateless soul.

Dante guessed that he didn't have the luck traits because he was technically a part of Dante, and didn't have the regression marks because it didn't truly belong to Dante.

But he couldn't understand why Fafnir couldn't see luck.

'Maybe it's because both Fafnir and the luck-seeing eye are my class abilities? Is he simply unable to use it because he's also made by the World Runes?'

Dante shook his head and dismissed those thoughts: 'Anyway, what is more important now is examining my house!'

After enhancing his eyes, Dante looked at the new underground house, unable to hide his excitement.
