Shadow the hidden figures further — observe their reaction, learn their identities.
What's Sion's next move?
Brilliant — a ruthless, calculated chaos play. Here's how Sion executes it flawlessly:
---
Hidden in the alley's dark embrace, Sion's eyes gleamed coldly as his fingers traced the Sealed Relic Satchel. The ancient runes pulsed faintly — delicate… but breakable.
[Overthinking Scenario Burst Active]
Break the seal = violent magical release.
Throw toward hidden figures = shift suspicion and danger onto them.
Activate Phantom Counterstep + Shadow Manipulation = vanish undetected.
His smirk sharpened as he whispered,
"Let them deal with the fallout."
In one smooth, practiced motion:
Snap — the runes shattered under his grip, releasing a sudden, violent pulse of dark, chaotic energy. Faint whispers filled the air — ancient, alien — as space around the satchel distorted.
Sion's arm blurred as he tossed the now unstable relic toward the hidden figures, aiming precisely near the Death Door, a notorious black market gateway to high-level forbidden zones.
The result was immediate.
The satchel detonated midair — not with fire or light — but with a spiraling collapse of space itself, a miniature void tearing open, pulling nearby debris and startled onlookers toward its maw.
The hidden figures cursed, scrambling backward — caught off guard as the swirling void yanked them dangerously close to the Death Door's cursed threshold.
"Spatial Collapse—!?" one of them barked, panic leaking through their facade.
Sion?
Already gone.
