-- I was also thinking about aura vision. As the Patriarch explained to me some time ago, no high-level priest is afraid of a sudden attack by aliens from stealth, but everything alive has an aura, right? So what difference does the color make? Or, in the case of priests, is it not aura vision, but rather some intuitive sense of the presence of something alien, which plays a role?
-- Regarding the storage facilities, I suspect that there is simply round-the-clock security... But it's not a fact, I need to ask. After the attack on the Patriarch, the last Dragon of Mellis may also have installed some kind of protection system, by the way.
-- At the moment, the rune is not a viable solution. Kragg doesn't work with other people's items, and I can only prepare for a new rune and only once. In general, we need to get used to the fact that magic is a useful tool, but you shouldn't rely on it too much; it limits imagination with its supposed universality.
-- Another question about the interior. We have a lot of Baldurian items here, right? Should we hang a picture of Air? -- she takes it out of her inventory. -- We can save it for the new Fortress; I hope there will be more space there.
- Yes, let's save it for the new Fortress...
-- Everything I tell you will ultimately be done either through our efforts with Her approval, or through Her channels, and the search for just guards is more likely to be done in the second way. With approval, of course, but since Klin is also in favor, I probably didn't say something stupid.
- What's wrong?.. Are you okay?
The young man who had been kissing her moments ago placed his palm on her back and rubbed it caringly.
- It feels like I swallowed something wrong...
- Some saliva just went down the wrong pipe, happens to the best of us.
- You think?.. Well yes, probably... Ha-ha... Khe-khe...
Having made sure she was alright, June sighed with relief.
- Well then... Until tomorrow? Today was a wonderful day, of course—the kind that only happens once in a hundred years.
- Uh-huh. Only I can't promise I'll have time tomorrow; who knows what the commander might come up with.
- Fair enough. Then keep me posted.
- Okayyy!
![]() | After one more light kiss, the couple parted—Kylika went to Carneol, and June watched her leave with a sinister gaze. No matter how much Naria and Carneol took precautions, it was impossible to protect against everything. Should he only wish it, Kylika and Aria would explode into a kaleidoscope of endless suffering and take both the villa and the headquarters with them, and with better luck, all their inhabitants as well. Akonia, of course, could hardly be wounded physically, but morally she certainly could—no matter what kind of singularity she was, human emotions were not foreign to her. This was the main flaw of living beings. But for now, it was still too early—it was necessary to wait for the morning attack and, before that, resolve certain matters. June covered his face with his palms, and a few seconds later he decreased in height, the white hue of his soul changed to gold, and his current visage looked nothing like how he had appeared moments earlier. He stepped onto the threshold of "Upgrade," confused the craftsman with conversations in the voice of a female dwarf known to him, and stole his soul. The Scarlet Sphere—that was the name of this useful tool. With its help, one could utilize the rich experience of captured souls—and with the spirit of Orros Sanderstrike, he intended to provide the army of Nephiria with enchanted equipment that would be very useful in the war against the empire. The only downside to this artifact was that if the life of the victim's physical shell ended, their soul would return to the cycle of life and death; therefore, the little dwarf had to be left among the living, but this wasn't much of a problem, as he posed no threat in a vegetative state. In the morning, when the chaos begins, "June" will appear in another region of the empire disguised as Emperor Purian and declare Akonia responsible for everything happening, while himself heroically "fending off" an attack by the undead. But he had other goals as well. For example, the many-faced sorcerer intended to appear before Gaheris Bors in the guise of Kayasa Morax, and before Kayasa Morax in the guise of Sillion. Fire, earth, water, wind, light, darkness, cosmos, and matter—"June" had acquired a high level of resistance to all of these, and weapons capable of dealing him real damage were now only in the hands of the junior phantom and the head of Ikigai; that is why he chose Lord Ravenedge as his second victim. Repeating his spell, he transformed into Princess Ayano and strode toward XXX. |
Reflexively dealing with the uninvited guest, the Lord rushes to his beloved with great anxiety in his gaze and voice.
- Ayano... Are you okay?!
This action brings her back to her senses, after which she belatedly jumps up from her seat, drawing her katana. She tries to remember what she had just detected from this incomprehensible figure, and what she feels from the remains at this moment.
- What was that?.. - she looks at the sphere and the stone, ready to react to anything.
- I've seen something like this before; I took it out of the chest of that very vampire.
Turning her head thoughtfully, she finds a mop in its usual place and carefully separates both items, moving them away from the pile of bones.
- And what is this ball? But never mind, it doesn't matter right now, - carefully measuring the distance between the remains and the "loot" to avoid repeating the June forest incident, she places a gohei above the remains, but before starting, she decides to explain. - I don't like this at all, so I want to make sure that nothing new grows from here. Nothing like that should happen, but... just in case, be prepared for anything.

About exploiting invisibility through auras
Is it possible to keep penetration passively active (and only on auras)?

- Hmm... - tilting her head to the side and looking a little closer, she nods. - Yes... It looks like one of Her things. It seems She has already gone to sleep, but for this occasion, I will have to wake Her up. It is better not to touch this with your hands. Mmm...
