Benjamin never thought that somebody would actually appear after what he said.

He thought that Spencer had escaped, and what he said was just a force of habit. Never did it cross his mind that Spencer did not escape and had instead gone into hiding nearby for some reason.

As he watched the silhouette not too far away appear before him, Benjamin found himself in cold sweat.

How did he pull it off?

Not only did he manage to dodge the attacks of the ice thorns, he also managed to enter some sort of invisible state to lurk nearby. If Benjamin had not said those words by chance, he would have been in a very dangerous situation!

Thankfully, Benjamin was not the only person that was caught off guard.

”That’s impossible, how did you manage to see me?”

With a doubtful expression on his face, Spencer emerged, eyes never leaving Benjamin. His gaze was as if he had seen a rare animal for the first time.

Benjamin huffed coldly.

In that moment, Benjamin realized that things may not be as bleak as he expected.

Although this foreigner had skills that Benjamin had never seen before, but he has also similarly never seen the endless schemes pulled by the people of the mainland. It was obvious that Spencer did not know he had been fooled as he still thought that Benjamin really did see him.

Benjamin, therefore, does not owe Spencer an explanation.

”What a show of Spiritual Energy. Your abilities are really quite interesting. However, they are still not enough,” said Benjamin haughtily, smile pulling at his lips.

Since he has managed to bluff Spencer, he would be a fool to let this chance go.

He has no idea what tricks Spencer has up his sleeve but according to the System’s analysis, it would seem that Spencer is relying on his Spiritual Energy the most. He should just expose this secret as well, so as to further mislead Spencer down the wrong path.

Spencer’s response differed from his expectations, however.

”It is no surprise that you are the greatest mage of the mainland, your power is shocking.” Spencer continued, ”However… have you really figured it out?”

Benjamin roared with laughter and said, ”Of course I have. I advise you to show your true from, it would be better than using some trick to fool me.”

Upon hearing this, Spencer’s face morphed into one of befuddlement. He disappeared once again from where he stood, and instead appeared behind Benjamin.

His expression was glum.

Benjamin, on the other hand, was no longer shocked at the situation.

To be honest, he has not figured out anything yet, but his instincts told him that nobody would be so easy as to fall for a trick once. It was no doubt that Spencer was still suspicious, so repeating a trick twice was the best choice for Benjamin to fool Spencer.

That was the exact reason why Benjamin said what he said. Spencer definitely still had something up his sleeve. So it was no surprise to Benjamin when he saw Spencer disappear for the second time only to finally reappear properly.

”How is it? He’s already disappeared and reappeared a few times, have you figured out what ability is using?” asked Benjamin in his head, with a proud smile on his face not giving away his thoughts.

”No…” answered the System, ”however, I think that it has to do with his Spiritual Energy. His Spiritual Energy has a unique structure, I’ll have to do a bit more research.”

”Alright.”

Benjamin returned to reality once again, turning to face Spencer.

From what Benjamin can tell, this worshipper from across the seas had abilities that were related to Spiritual Energy. He would not be leaving so willingly, what with Gealorre finally under his control, which is why he’s still here confronting Benjamin.

However, it has come to Benjamin’s realization that he has not made any direct attacks, which leaves Benjamin wondering whether or not he even possessed any powerful and direct attacking abilities?

”Come on, why don’t you show me just how tough are you worshippers from across the seas?” Benjamin continued to taunt, ”Or do you only have these insignificant tricks?”

”Oh? Why don’t you try it out Sir Benjamin?” retorted Spencer, the fire finally lit in him.

Right when he finished, wave after wave of Spiritual Energy oscillations flowed out of his body.
