Bologue disappeared.
For a gunman, his target suddenly vanishing from sight is definitely not good news.
Even with his rich experience, Ferguson didn't panic. Instead, he cautiously retracted his alchemy firearms and quickly relocated.
As a Prayer Believer, besides honing his Secret Energy, Ferguson devoted all his energy to Ethereal Skills. He excelled in Ethereal Concealment and Ethereal Perception; the former could hide him from enemy sight, while the latter could expose enemies to his eyes.
Ferguson's attacks usually launched from beyond visual range. Although this distance protected him from being discovered by enemies, it also made it difficult for him to promptly observe enemy movements. The alchemy firearms' scope had many limitations as well.
When Bologue disappeared, Ferguson fully deployed his Ethereal Perception, searching for the ethereal remnants of Bologue, like a hound tracking blood.
