A wake-up call.
Boss Otis, who was in charge of retreat, was the first to react.
Assad, following closely behind, seemed to have an epiphany and halted.
The others were slower, but they did not brush off Link's words.
After all, Link had been favored by the will of the Wizard World, making him hardest to be affected by illusions or have his cognition manipulated.
Even Boss Otis, a Level 3 Wizard, wouldn't dare claim that his resistance to mind-affecting witchcraft was superior to Link's.
Without waiting for Boss Otis or others to ask questions, Link proactively explained:
"The illusion is real, the Fairy King is real, but there's no trap.
I don't know what method he used, but he made us decide there's a trap and hastily retreat all within a moment.
Also, if there really was a trap, why hasn't he attacked us yet?"
