Turns out I've pretty much done it all!

Timothy cast an Epic-level Shadow Veil.

The effect of Shadow Veil was incredibly powerful,unless facing a being from the Transcendence Realm, one's hidden form would be completely undetectable.

This was precisely why, in the grand hall, Timothy could completely conceal his presence and ensure a fatal strike on the remaining five.

Quietly leaving the Mystic Realm with Emily, Timothy took her to a secluded village tavern to rest.

A pot of clear wine was placed before them. Timothy filled a cup for Emily and then handed her a book titled "The Uselessness of Spiritual Partners." "I'm not much of a reader, so I'm counting on you to keep your promise and tell me about this book," he said.

"Don't call me 'miss,' aren't you going to ask my name?" Emily said, her voice filled with hurt.

"Uh, so what is your name?" Timothy asked.

Emily sighed, her lips barely parting as she slowly revealed her real name: "Emily."
