Lucius smirked as he reached into his spatial ring. He retrieved a small vial filled with what seed to be normal liquid. He held it up and showed it to both Ragnar and Savra.
Savra and Ragnar frowned as they were confused. Savra glanced at the vial and asked. "What's that?"
Ragnar crossed his arms and was skeptical. "You're calling this your Trump card? What kind of trick are you planning?"
Lucius smirked. "Let show you the power of my Trump card."
He uncorked the vial and tipped it slightly, allowing a single drop of the liquid to fall onto his tongue. As he swallowed it, he turned his attention inward.
He imdiately made a new hack in his mind. "System, hack myself to beco invisible to tars below 7-Star for one minute."

Almost imdiately, Lucius's body began to shimr. His form began to blur and fade into thin air.
Within seconds, he was completely invisible, leaving no trace of his presence behind.
Savra and Ragnar were shocked the mont they saw Lucius fading into thin air. Ragnar glanced around. "What the hell?! Where did you go?"
Savra was also the sa. Her gaze darted around the area, trying to find Lucius. "Lucius, stop playing gas! Where are you?"
No response ca. Both of them instinctively tried to sense his presence using their aura detection but there was nothing—no trace of Lucius' aura. It was as if he had completely vanished.
Savra was confused and amazed at the sa ti. "This isn't normal. Even if he hid his presence, we should still be able to sense sothing."
Ragnar, on the other hand, beca serious. "It seems as though he vanished from existence... What kind of trick is this?"
Both Ragnar and Savra still try to look around frantically, trying to sense or locate Lucius, but they find nothing.
Even Luna and Liora, who stood quietly nearby, focused their sharp senses but couldn't detect a single trace of him.
Just as they were beginning to wonder if Lucius had truly disappeared, his figure suddenly appered back into view in the exact sa spot where he had been standing before. He hadn't moved an inch during the entire minute.
Lucius looked at both Ragnar and Savra and smirked. "What do you think of that?"
Ragnar turned serious as he raised his voice and gestured toward the vial. "What the hell was that? How did you do that?"
Savra folded her arms. She locked her sight at Lucius. "You didn't just hide your aura—you completely disappeared. Even we couldn't sense you."
Lucius's smirk widened as he crossed his arms. "That's what my Trump card does. It makes my aura vanish entirely, and my body becos completely invisible."
Savra frowned, still skeptical. "If you have sothing that powerful, why don't we use it? We're stronger than you. It would be easier and faster for us to spy on them."
Without saying a word, Lucius smirked and handed Ragnar the vial. "Go ahead. Try it, and you'll understand why I said I should be the one to do it."
Ragnar eyed the vial suspiciously but eventually shrugged and downed the entire contents in one go.
He waited for sothing to happen, glancing at Savra as if expecting her to comnt. But nothing happened.
He looked down at himself, then back at Lucius. He was confused and frustated because nothing happened. "What's going on? Why didn't it work?"
Lucius chuckled softly. He was hiding his amusent as he spoke in his mind. "Of course, it didn't work. It's just normal water, masking the real trick—the system." Explore hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire
Maintaining his smirk, Lucius calmly explained aloud, "It doesn't work on 7-Star Tars and above. And besides, it's incredibly difficult to make this... Let's just say it's not sothing that can be used casually."
Savra's eyes narrowed further. She was also irritated, as both she and Ragnar were like a joke to him. "Why didn't you just tell us that earlier?"
Lucius shrugged nonchalantly. "Because sotis, trying sothing yourself is more convincing than just hearing say it."
Ragnar let out a low growl of annoyance but didn't press further. Instead, he handed the empty vial back to Lucius. "Damn tricks."
Savra sighed, though she smiled a little. "Fine. You've made your point. You're the only one who can use this effectively."
Lucius nodded. He put the empty vial back into his spatial ring. "Exactly. Now, if we're done testing my 'tricks,' let's get back to the real mission."
He pointed at the crater and smirked. "I'll infiltrate their base and gather information that will be good for later."
Ragnar folded his arms, still grumbling but clearly impressed. "You'd better not get caught, kid."
Savra gave Lucius one final look. "Be careful, Lucius. This group is more dangerous than you might realize."
Lucius smirked confidently. "Relax. I'll be in and out before they even know I was there."
He also turned serious as he reminded them. "But don't forget—make sure you squeeze as much as you can out of the empire and the other nobles."
Ragnar raised an eyebrow. He was intrigued. "Oh? You're thinking ahead again, huh?"
Lucius chuckled. "Of course. After all, we're the ones who found the location of their hidden base. This information alone is priceless. Make them pay for every ounce of effort we've put in."
Savra smirked, folding her arms. "Don't worry, Lucius. We'll bleed them dry. The empire and the nobles will know that Volcaria is not to be underestimated."
Ragnar grinned. He clearly liked the idea. "Hah! It's about ti they recognize who holds the real power."
Lucius nodded. He was satisfied with their response. "Good. Use this opportunity well. We're not just dealing with this mysterious group—we're also strengthening our own position."
Savra's smirk widened. "Rest assured, Lucius. By the ti this is over, Volcaria will be stronger than ever. We'll make sure of it."
With that, the tension eased slightly. Ragnar and Savra prepared to head back, while Lucius and his maids readied themselves for the infiltration.
