Philip was not only super strong but also meticulous, observing every detail so carefully. Raven suddenly felt that it would be nice if he could stay by Philip’s side. After all, he could learn quite a lot. There was a knock on the door at this time. “Hello, the hotel has prepared a meal for the two of you. Please open the door.” Raven got up immediately and glanced at Philip, who still had his eyes closed as if he did not hear anything. Raven opened the door warily. A maid stood at the door and said to Raven with a smile on her face, “Hello, Sir, this is a special meal we prepared for you. May I bring it in?” The woman held a tray with several exquisite snacks in her hand. Raven did not notice anything unusual, so he let her in. As soon as the woman stepped in, she suddenly turned around and smiled sweetly at Raven. Raven felt a sudden wave of stupor. The woman’s eyes seemed like a sea of stars. In a split second, Raven was immersed in it. Raven wanted to speak, but he felt numb all over his body. He could not even straighten his tongue. The woman’s hand suddenly turned into a sharp dagger. As she was about to stab Raven in the chest, Philip made his move. He kicked out and broke the dagger. Then, Philip slapped Raven on the shoulder. Raven felt a burst of energy pouring into his body and shivered. His senses finally cleared up. However, he could not figure out how he fell under the woman’s spell.
Philip was fighting the woman by now. He glanced at the woman and said, “There are few illusory masters on this continent.” The woman’s expression changed slightly. Very few people could identify an illusory master at a glance. However, the target in front of her did just that. At the woman’s silence, Philip added, “But it seems that you’re not very proficient at it. You probably just started learning this technique not long ago. You haven’t learned how to use your energy to create virtual scenes, have you?” While talking, Philip started to build a virtual scene with his energy. This was something he learned from the mighty Astrum’s heritage. Although not officially an illusory master, the heritage of the mighty Astrum and his understanding of the illusory technique were simply beyond this woman’s reach. The woman was startled as the scene in her eyes changed. A gentle sea breeze swept through her hair, but when she looked down, she found herself above the sea. Suddenly, she felt herself falling uncontrollably. She fell to the deepest part of the sea, surrounded by endless darkness and chill. She felt helpless and forlorn. Her arms and legs kept moving, trying to get out of this underwater world. However, no matter what she did, her body kept sinking. Raven looked at the woman in front of him in surprise. She seemed trapped in a nightmare.”
