Chapter: 590

[~Charged~]

[Prevents warp, teleportation and trans-reality effects]

[Requires mana to function]

[Current charge: Can disrupt (7) times]

“Anti-teleport huh. Strange. Why would they give me this?”

It didn’t really make sense to Jay. Wasn’t he supposed to be leaving today? – If anything, he expected something to help with teleporting rather than to block it.

With a shrug he stored it away anyway and checked the purple crystal.

<[Stealth Shard]>

[~Attuned~]

[~Uncharged~]

[Can be attuned to another stealth shard, forming a connection.]

[Exchanged Senses – activated when charged with mana]

[Exchanged Senses: no longer visible, but can now communicate]

Next, he began to add mana to the purple crystal.

“Cool…” he watched as it became black and then vanished from sight – though he could still feel its weight in his hand.

For some reason he almost felt dizzy while holding it but seeing nothing, it was like his brain couldn’t make sense of it so he looked away.

“Hello?” he spoke right into it.

Thankfully he did everything correctly as Lara responded shortly after.

“Hey Jay. Store the crystal in your inventory and you should be able to hear my voice in your head. To talk back to me, you will need to take the crystal out again though.”

“Got it. I’m on my way now unless you have any other instructions.” he then stashed it away as Lara said nothing in response.

As Jay approached Losla he saw more of the black guards.

There were a few other villagers walking around the streets now, so he felt safe trying one of his new abilities: mark.

When the guard had their back turned, Jay stared at him and thought “MARK” in his mind.

Suddenly, a long red strand of energy grew out of Jay’s body and attached to the guard.

“Shit…” Jay paused in shock, seeing the large red strand between him and the guard. He thought this was his end.
