Ruoshui, if you feel that staining your hands would be beneath you, you may leave the task to me. All you need to do is watch, no need for a direct answer. Just blink three times in succession..."
"What spell is that?" Yalusai's cry of alarm interrupted Simmon's persuasion.
Simmon hurriedly looked down, only to see that the spot where the Lizard Queen had stood was now shrouded in a cloud of black fog. Not only had the Lizard Queen vanished, but the Lizardfolk and Mad Frogmen around her were also gone, along with that strange Treant.
Above that patch of black fog, Simmon could distinctly feel the power of the undead—an ability on the level of the Laws of Undeath.
The Lizard Queen and her company were likely not within the black fog but had been dragged into a temporary Dimensional Space. Simmon had missed the perfect window of opportunity; now, even if he wanted to take action, he couldn't find the enemy.
