"Let's go."
He turned around and glanced at Raylo.
The next moment, Austin Sage extended a finger and tapped lightly into the empty void in front of him.
There was no chanting, nor was there any array.
Yet, the surrounding space rippled outward like a disturbed water surface, forming invisible waves.
A profound and hidden energy instantly expanded, enveloping Raylo, Austin, and the several "cats" perched on their shoulders.
"Void Walking."
As those words fell, Raylo felt his body seemingly melt into the air. It was as if his very presence had been completely erased in that instant, turning him into a phantom suspended between reality and illusion.
He looked down at his hand, which remained clearly visible. But in his perception, the spot where he stood was completely empty.
Austin Sage's figure had also disappeared.
"Let's go."
The Sage's voice echoed in his mind.
