The game has become a real alternate world

But now she's reached the limit of what she can do.

If only she had a fragment by her side now, she would wish upon it without hesitation, forcefully moving Kana over.

Or move herself to Kana's side.

But unfortunately, there is none; the ones that were supposed to be sent over were completely intercepted by Kana's team.

She could only wait quietly, gambling that her son would need the fragment.

However.

What she didn't know was.

The Kana she was eager to catch was right outside Giant Rock City, watching the castle from a big tree.

Kana held his Light Chasing Stone towards the castle, and he could basically confirm that the fragment was inside the castle, definitely placed upon the statue within.

"So what exactly is she doing?" Kana, standing on the tree, still didn't understand this behavior.

After all, the amplified wave had been ongoing for two days, almost without pause.

This indicated that his mother was doing it intentionally. But what else could the amplified wave do besides guiding the Light Chasing Stone?

Could it be, the idea kept surfacing in his mind.

Could it be attracting him?

After all, as soon as he returned, his target was clearly the fragment of the Stone of Creation.

"Kana, have you figured out how to get in?" Raelia asked from below.

Kana's thoughts were interrupted, and he looked down, nodding.

Although it was a bait and undisguised, it seemed easier to grab than before. But it was actually more difficult than Kana had planned.

After all, his mother wouldn't expect the treasure she hid deep in the laboratory to be discovered, much less that someone would break in to steal it.

Knowing the alchemy laboratory was located outside Giant Rock City, although close, it was ultimately some distance away from the city.

There were surely guards around the laboratory, but they were like obstacles in name only for them.

And the number of soldiers was certainly not many, just as Kana previously predicted, they only needed to watch out for his mother.

After all, his mother's strength was at least level 7, possibly even level 8.

That's why Kana brought Lurik, to have him hold her off.

If Lurik could keep his mother occupied, their plan was almost achievable.

But now his mother had moved the stone to the castle, where both the castle and city had many troops stationed.

Going in and out raised the difficulty significantly.

Therefore, the best way was to secretly infiltrate the castle, grab the stone, and make a forced breakout, reducing the difficulty.

Compared to entering and leaving, it increased safety considerably.

Kana jumped down from the tree, returning to the team.

Grey Fang was calming his winged dragon.

Kana didn't have Grey Fang scout from the sky, mainly because there was protective magic in the castle.

Moreover, if his mother had deliberately set a trap, Grey Fang scouting in the sky would be very dangerous.

After all, his mother had a high level and could be dual-classed as a mage and alchemist.

In addition to the transformations on himself, she could precisely control blood.

She could definitely take Grey Fang down from the sky, so it's best not to take such risks.

"Let's go. I know about a secret tunnel into the castle that absolutely no one knows about."

To this, the group showed no surprise, since Kana was the prince of the country, knowing a secret passage was perfectly normal.

The mounts were left at their previous location, which was quite hidden.

At this moment, Kana thought it over and said to Raelia and Abis, "Your size won't allow you to pass through that secret place. You'll wait for us outside the city with the mounts.

Once we succeed, we'll signal you, and you'll be responsible for supporting us."

To this, both didn't object, nodding, discussed amongst themselves, confirmed a few details for their escape, and then separated.

Kana and the four continued forward.

Evading the surrounding Blood Race scouting teams.

In the forest and bushes, moving through the night.

"Hmm?" Kana suddenly halted his steps.

Grey Fang, keenly aware of the issue, jumped onto a tree to take a lookout.

"Fire."

"There's a torch ahead, who could it be?" Kana wondered.

With a gesture, the four immediately dispersed, swiftly surrounding the torch's location.

When they approached, they found only one person, appearing extremely fragile.

After confirming the surroundings were safe, Alyris dashed out, controlling the blood to cover the enemy's mouth, immobilizing them.

The torch fell from their hand but was caught by Lurik before it hit the ground.

This frail girl widened her murky blood-red eyes in terror.

"Blood Race?" Lurik wondered.

This was a Blood Race girl, but she was too skinny, even more so than a regular Blood Race, almost like a skeleton.

Her gaunt appearance raised concerns she'd die on the spot.

Kana looked at the girl as if he remembered something, signaling Alyris.

Alyris released her hold, and the blood around the girl's mouth dispersed.

Once freed, the girl spoke in a weak and fearful voice, "I just came out, I'm... hungry, I don't eat human flesh."
