“Alright, I guess I’ll have to do this the hard way.” I cracked my fingers in front of me then pulled out the jar of aforementioned acid slime. It wouldn’t burn through the manacles themselves, but it did a number on the ring.
“Time to get out of here,” I said, picking her up in a princess carry. I needed to walk to properly activate my skill. “[World Bridge].”

I mentally selected Coral Palace West Bridge and selected Julia and myself.
That was when the door of the storage room opened, and the Keeper of Fate walked through. I knew, based on my notification tab, that I hadat leasta minute left until I became visible again. I knew that, but the blonde woman did not.
“You!” she yelled, looking me directly in the eye and pointing a finger. Pink magic erupted from her hand, but it was too late.
I took a step and vanished.
CHAPTER 30
The Arc Warden
Julian
Julian and Lomen found nothing of interest and returned to search the room at the end of the hall.
They did so by throwing open the door—mage staff and sword blazing—ready to ambush anyone inside. There was no one. The room was an empty storage bay, large doors shut, with a window and a smaller entry door also closed.
Julian made his way to the window.
Everyone in the street was running for their wagons like their life depended on it. Others hollered directions as the caravan of carriages all raced for the port gate.
“Well, I feel foolish.” Lomen blushed, lowering his flaming staff.
“Don’t,” Julian told him. “It’s better to be safe.”
“GREYSON!” a musical voice screeched outside. A woman was trying to block a carriage from leaving through the port gate. “You can’t leave!”
“Ifshe’sbeen found that meanswe’vebeen found,” a gruff-looking elf shouted back. “And you even let her escape!”
Julian immediately guessed whom they were speaking of, and anger warred with relief. Someone had found his sister. She was safe.
The elf held out his palm facing forward and said, “[Clear Road].”
It was a perk favored by travelers which let the caster move without hitting others in traffic. The wagons practically bent reality around the young blonde woman, and Greyson led his charge through the port gate.
Julian wouldn’t let evenoneof those who’d kidnapped his sister escape. Ripping off the door from its hinges, he stepped out into the street and pointed at the caravan. “[Tracking].”
[You have attempted to use the Skill:Tracking. You may track Targets equal to your Tracking 4 x Perception 25 = 100. You will know the direction of each Target tracked.
