The Author's POV

Chapter 779

I took my time finding Prince Plintus.

It would be difficult for anyone, including myself, to see through his disguises, given how adept he was at cloaking himself... In fact, standing in front of him and looking at him, I realized that I was being overly confident in my abilities.

There was no way I could find him with my abilities.

'Thankfully, I'm always prepared.'

Just prior to that, downstairs, when Prince Plintus was still in shock over the situation, I made the most of the opportunity to arrive in front of him and press my hand against his shoulder. I could have sneaked up on him back then and attacked him, but I decided to go with a different strategy instead.

…Leaving a mark on his body.

It was never my intention to kill him; rather, the goal was to locate the mana compressor and destroy it.

I had the opportunity to carry it out after I had Prince Plintus killed, but I chose not to. In all candor, it would have required twice as much time, and in times of war, time was of the essence.

I knew, perhaps more than anyone else, that each and every second was important, which was why I chose to proceed in this manner.

With the Akashic Laws in my command, everything was easy. Placing a thin thread around his body, I was able to find him regardless of his cloaking skills.

In my eyes, he was no different than a moving target.

"Let me guess…"

I focused my attention on the mana compressor that was right in front of me. It was violently shaking, and the demonic energy in the immediate area around me was in a state of disarray.

With a glance, I was able to determine what it was that he was attempting to accomplish.

My gaze moved toward Prince Plintus.

"…You're trying to destabilize the mana compressor to create a portal and then desync it?"

'Looks like I'm right.'

I smiled at the Prince's expression. That was enough for me to know that I was right.

"That's not a bad plan, to be honest."

I felt mildly impressed by his attempt.

If he had actually constructed a dungeon and then desynced it, then the situation would certainly reverse the way he had hoped it would.
