There was only one thing on the Ashen Crucible that could reach everyone and still remain unnoticed.
"I have found the trigger, Admiral." Pablo said.
Harlia asked with her brows.
Pablo smiled and pointed in a certain direction.
Harlia saw it and her brows shot up.
Pablo nodded. "Yes. It's the smoke."
Harlia went silent. Pablo carried on.
"I remember commenting about the smell of the smoke and after that, I was already inside the illusion. To come out of it, I had to kill myself. The pain felt real but I was out of that shit. And this very smoke reached everyone and they all fell for it."
"So is there a chance that we will face the same thing again? Because the smoke is still here." Harlia asked.
Pablo shook his head. "No. It won't happen again. If it was supposed to happen again, then we would still be in an illusion. After all, we all can still smell the smoke."
Harlia nodded a few times. "You are right. What strange prowess this place has."
