"The person who trapped me here with an Illusion Technique is very powerful! Even if not as formidable as Lij when she transformed into a human at the last moment, they're definitely not weaker than her Black Whale form!"
At the same time, within the Illusion Realm.
The Desolate Beast lived up to its name, quickly calming down after a brief shock and surprise.
It didn't rush to break the Illusion Technique before it but instead pondered silently: "Who is it? This Illusion Technique clearly uses Water Magic, but Lij, like me, is a pure Warrior, unable to cast an Illusion Technique, even if he transformed into human form at the last moment, he couldn't produce such a level of Illusion Technique. And mages skilled in Water Magic are not on that level; even if they did cast an Illusion Technique, it couldn't trap me. So who is it, really, who?"
