"What? Where did he go?!"
Sage Merlin was furious. He had lost his prey, and he had no clue where he went.
He tried to expand his search by using his Magic Zone, which was empowered by his Divinity. This Spell allowed him to sense everything within 450 meters! However, he still couldn't sense the young man!
He also used his Magic Trace Spell, which enhanced his magic perception. At the very least, he wanted to know in which direction they disappeared.
"Tsk… How did he do that?"
It was all in vain. He should've placed a barrier or used his Domain Spell during their battle. If he did that, he wouldn't have this problem.
He could not find any trace of the young man, nor the person who helped him escape.
Well, he was certain that the bats were summoned by another Arcanist, someone who had a connection to the young man.
Since the young man was Dragon's Disciple, he knew that those bats were from a different Arcanist.
