Chapter 61 Illusion

Madison gritted her teeth as she teleported once again, her vision blurring momentarily before sharpening into focus. This time, she reappeared atop a towering mountain she had spotted in the distance. The cool air hit her face, and for a moment, she thought she had finally escaped. She scanned the horizon, trying to orient herself, but something strange caught her attention.

The crackling energy that had been relentlessly chasing her throughout the forest had disappeared. The man's lightning, which had seemed omnipresent, was gone. The forest below her was silent, its oppressive energy seemingly diminished. Madison furrowed her brows as she crouched on the rocky ledge, her heart pounding.

"He's not following me?" she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper.
