The simplest and most direct approach is to conceal one’s form and go straight over to use the Illusionary Realm to confound the Ghosteye Witch, then secretly take it and leave.
With Angel’s strength, there shouldn’t be any problems. After all, that Ghosteye Witch has not yet broken through to Wizard Level.
However, just as Angel was about to act, he hesitated again.
They have actually been in a Moving Mirage state all along, which means everyone has been concealing their forms. According to Angel’s envisaged direct method, it doesn’t differ much from their current situation.
Dox’s inspiration, if personified, would absolutely consider this aspect of concealment. After all, it is in sync with Dox’s thoughts, and since Dox himself is in the Moving Mirage, would inspiration overlook this?
Thinking this way, the most direct method may not be the best.
Perhaps this method can obtain the silver pendant, but it’s highly likely to trigger the "danger" consequence mentioned by inspiration.
For Angel and Black Earl who have their trump cards, they can actually crush any danger, but if they truly let loose, this journey might become reckless, without any restraints.
And ultimately, this place could turn into a playground for the big shots.
This exploration holds great significance for Angel. He doesn’t wish for the final result to undergo a drastic change, so before doing anything, he needs to consider every aspect.
Concealing his form and going directly might not be a good choice.
Thinking of this, Angel, who had already taken a few steps forward, suddenly stopped again. He no longer displayed a confident and arrogant expression, instead began to carefully observe the Ghosteye Witch.
Since Dox’s inspiration specifically focused on this Ghosteye Witch.
This also means there is indeed something noteworthy about this Ghosteye Witch, so what could it be?
Angel decided to observe first and act later.
Angel’s change in demeanor and actions were watched by Black Earl, who secretly admired Angel for realizing the critical point faster than anticipated. It showed resemblance to Sanders.
However, merely relying on observation to discover the problem then acting might take quite some time.
Black Earl personally didn’t mind, but Angel, who had been advocating not wasting time throughout the journey, would probably find it hard to reconcile spending time on an ordinary ornament with only commemorative value.
Black Earl really guessed correctly.
Angel indeed felt somewhat anxious, especially as time ticked away, this anxiety grew more intense.
After pausing for half a minute, Angel finally moved.
"You all stay here for a while, I will set up an Illusionary Realm so you won’t be discovered." After speaking, Angel directly set up a Fixed Illusionary Realm.
Then, without providing much explanation, he directly concealed his form and vanished from everyone’s sight.
"Is he going to act?"
"It’s a pity, even the master has concealed his form, not knowing where he is now?"
Dox: "Not knowing where he is, just observe the Ghosteye Witch, anyway the ultimate goal must be it."
Everyone whispered in the Mind Ribbon, hoping Angel would reply, but Angel seemed to actively block contact, leaving them unaware of his actions.
Even Black Earl didn’t know where Angel went.
With Angel’s Moving Mirage, along with Wind Element protection and Earl Mi enveloping him, not only did he conceal his form, but also removed all traces. Black Earl’s nose couldn’t detect Angel’s scent.
However, Angel chose to act alone so quickly, was he unable to wait?
"If he truly behaves recklessly, then there will be a good show to watch..." Black Earl chuckled inwardly and, like everyone else, stopped searching for Angel’s whereabouts and focused on the Ghosteye Witch.
...
On the other side, wrapped in the Moving Mirage, Angel did not head toward the Ghosteye Witch, but instead went toward a nearby building.
To Angel’s view, the Ghosteye Witch itself doesn’t have high strength, if it can truly pose "danger" to them, it would likely stem from two aspects. First, external objects; second, backing.
External objects, like powerful Alchemy Tools that could threaten their safety, or an Alchemy poison.
And backing, most likely the two Wizard Level Ghosteye Witches at the Gemini Towers, or... the existence of the Triclops Blue Demon.
No matter which type of danger this stems from, it all presupposes that the Ghosteye Witch can first discover his approach.
Although it sounds a bit unbelievable, Dox’s inspiration, in a certain sense, indirectly confirmed this matter.
As long as he approaches, the Ghosteye Witch will definitely detect his presence ahead of time.
As for how it achieved this, Angel does not know, nor does he want to waste time speculating.
Because what he needs to do now is to fundamentally prevent the Ghosteye Witch from discovering him prematurely.
Before coming here, Angel made a lot of preparations for this. Since there were Ghosteye Witches near the Hanging Jail Stairway in the Nightmare Realm, Angel, with the attitude that there might be Ghosteye Witches in the real-life Underground Labyrinth as well, studied a vast amount of material on Ghosteye Witches, even discussing with seasoned wizards like Ironclad Granny.
Ghosteye Witches, as Low-level Monsters, don’t really have much worth mentioning, the only aspects that interest wizards are their life forms and cultivation methods.
The specific direction of attention, as Black Earl previously mentioned, is how Ghosteye Witches might eventually form a perfect shape through continuous integration with other shadows, exchanging information.
The research topics in the material Angel examined were mostly focused on this.
Among them, there was a particularly unique study called "Record of the Varied Postures of Witch Eye and Ghost Intermingling."
Other materials were professionally analytic, sometimes leaving even Angel disoriented, but this material stood out freshly, like an illustrated catalog, documenting various Ghosteye Witches’ postures during cultivation seen by its author.
After flipping through a few pages, Angel realized this thesis was merely a personal niche interest of its author.
The kind that Dox might find interesting.
Because there were so many postures inside, and Angel found they didn’t seem useful, he quickly turned to the final summary of the material.
