He had to hide behind walls, hide in partially ruined buildings, look for dark spaces to move, and also avoid any Bulwark demon since they would just waste his time.
Usually, in a city like this, shadows would be everywhere and the assassins of the Shadowgrave Clan would be able to hide in the shadows and kill their enemies before they even knew it.
Some places had unknown sources of light, preventing the formation of shadow, and some places with a shadow or shadows were just too exposed.
Simon was intrigued and also confused about all of these, but he decided to push them to the back of his mind.
And this was where Hollow Sky Eye helped in situations like this.
Sometimes, a Bulwark demon would nearly cross his path, but Simon would quickly use the illusion ability of Hollow Sky Eye to make the Bulwark demon to subconsciously ignore him.
In the eyes of those watching, it just looked like Simon was lucky everytime a Bulwark demon walked past his hiding spot.
It would lead to him having to answer many questions.
He was certain that some had even forgotten about it already, and once he gives a believable lie, it would be a thing of the past until he uses it again in front of somebody.
Because many of his classmates were more fixated on the ’regeneration ability’ he showed more than an illusion ability they couldn’t even explain.
Many buildings that were close to the northern tower had been flattened out and there were very few hiding spots for the members of the Shadowgrave Clan to hide and kill their enemies.
’Maybe this is one of the reasons why the clan decided to have many different demon races join the clan instead of only the Velaris.’
’It’s quite smart honestly.’
At a road intersection, he could see a group of clan members fighting against another group of Bulwark demons.
What caught his attention about this battle was the fact that it was not chaotic like many of the other battles.
’A Minor Greater Demon. He should be a captain or a lieutenant.’
He also saw another Minor Greater Demon who was giving out orders to his comrades.
’Now, should I just join the battle naturally? Or should I enter with style.’
Joining the battle with style would involve him completely disrupting the balance of the battle by launching a sneaky attack.
Because of how realistic this simulation was, Simon was treating it like a real world.
At best, he would be told to survive and join his unit as they fought. But if he showed his value and power, he would be entrusted with an important mission.
’But the problem now is how to enter with style. Killing a Bulwark demon is not easy for me since I don’t have a weapon.’
However, all he found were rubbles, metals, and corpses.
’Unless I decide to use Hollow Sky Eye throughout.’
’This... might work.’
