Anaah's words made Rumaal reconsider.
"Think about it, Husband. He knew he was outmatched from the beginning.
"Yet instead of surrendering or making one final suicidal attack, he kept looking for ways to escape. Even when Lord Kanis had him completely suppressed, he refused to give up."
She pointed toward Aksai.
"And now, after all that desperation, he's suddenly telling us how helpless he is? He's practically begging us to believe that he has no options left.
"He also knows that he won't go far even if he ends up exiting the formation barrier and escaping in a traditional way. It means he has a non-traditional escape route planned up."
Anaah sneered.
"What if he still has another trump card? Something concealed so well that even Lord Kanis couldn't discover it on his person? Something that doesn't require his cultivation base or storage ring to activate? Second Skin Talismans are rare but they are not the only ones that can stay hidden from conventional probes."
