The others were on a trance although they are clearly trying to fight off the effects of the illusion. Catmod and the others are seemingly going on the other side of the f place and blindly walking here and there. Catmod seems to be drooling to something. Maple is kicking out here and there. Moonlight seems to be afraid of something as she is backing out. Miya, on the other hand, is able to maintain composure although she is clearly disturbed and having a hard time adjusting. From the looks of it, she is a bit resilient to the illusions though she is still affected.

 I saw Miya grab her dagger and she put a slice on her arm in her own accord. Possibly to counter the effects of illusions.

"F*ck, the illusions are getting harder and harder to deal with..." Miya said as she gasped while enduring the stinging pain from her wound.

I approached her immediately and grab the bandage I brought along with me to heal wounds. I don't know the Healing Spell yet. Since that is the case for me, I had to deal with low-efficiency healing.

As soon as I approached her, she quickly noticed it but since she took a lot of brute force to deal with it, she can't heal easily. I wrapped the bandage to her wound to stop it from bleeding. From the looks of her wound, it is a bit too deep that might cause complications. Then, I was surprised when I take a closer look. Since the light in this area is hard to find, I did not notice the colour of Miya's blood. Unlike the usual red coloured one, her blood is bright green. It was like a blood from the alien that I always see in movies. But I disregarded it. I was about to support her when I felt like something inside me said that I shouldn't bother with her. Is this part of the illusion?

I shook my head before I helped her on the side. I took her dagger just to be safe and avoid attacking me or herself for no reason. I put Miya a bit far from the location and goes to face my attention to Catmod first. From the looks of his illusion, I think he is seeing food jumping around the area. With the drool in his mouth, it was obvious enough. Since he is currently far from the usual him, his back is totally unguarded, therefore, I made a strike on his nape to make him go unconscious.

Miya and Catmod's cases are easy, but with Maple and Moonlight, I am unsure whether I can deal with them or not. Maple seems the be kicking randomly in the air which made have trouble approaching and apprehend her out of the illusion. I saw Maple did a lot of dangerous martial arts in terms of the legs and it was incredible if I say so myself. I don't know where I can do it to her and let her stop. I don't want to go flying by being kicked by her. Therefore, I used a small amount of Forestry Control to her. Only a single strong vine appeared near Maple's kicking feet. Before Maple can kick again, I controlled the vine to wrap Maple on it. The vine did quick work and entangle her. After that, I also hit her nape like how Catmod got unconscious.


After the small work is done, I look at Moonlight. Unlike the rest, she is hugging her knees and shaking a lot. She seemed to be under the impression that she found a very terrifying scenario. I don't know what she is seeing but doing the same method with Maple and Catmod to Moonlight might become traumatic and won't be approaching others anymore. I think I have to do another approach to her without looking her in her own illusion.

I calmly approach Moonlight without any fear. But as soon as I step near her, her face is now panic-stricken and she backs away.

"Go away, go away, go away!" Moonlight shouted with a shaky, terrified voice.

Looks like the illusion took turn from a bit easy to worst. I would be having a hard time to deal with her if this goes on. There is nothing I could do by using magic but the conventional method would do the trick I guess.

I approached Moonlight without any wariness. I calmly walked towards her with pity in her eyes. Moonlight mentioned something to me about this last time. And I guess she is experiencing that illusion right now. I never expected Moonlight to have a side of hers like this. I usually see her as a strong, dependable ally but in reality, she is still a girl who has a weakness. Despite the toughness she shows to others, there lies a gentle maiden who suffered suffering much worse than I have.

Although it is vague, after the unsealing of one of the Mana Circuits in my body, I recovered a bit of my memories about my parents though they are a bit blurry. The memories are now present. And that time, my mother saw me being scared in the dark during a thunderstorm and the electricity is currently down. Mom hugged me tight and rubbed my head as she hummed a lullaby song. Although I felt like my whole body that time shivered, I suddenly felt a calm and soothing feel that I longed for. From the looks of it, Moonlight is in need of it.

Although I have never hugged a girl, I think it's alright, given to the time we have right now. Moonlight cried as I keep on approaching her. Before I knew it, I already have given her a hug. As expected, her body shivered and seemed to get stunned. I feel so embarrassed but that can be disregarded.

I calmly patted Moonlight's head and rubbed her back. I can feel Moonlight bury her face into my chest and started sobbing. The fear she has taken all by herself finally found a person to help her carry on. Moonlight hugged me for at least five minutes. Although it's becoming more awkward as time pass by, I decided to avoid disturbing her. After a while, I discovered that she had quietened down and no longer shivering in fear. I look at her face and discovered that she had fallen asleep.

"Does that mean, it was an effective method?" 

I stood up and carried Moonlight. Moonlight is quite light so I didn't have trouble carrying her out of the illusion's range. Now that I think about it, I am the only one left. Looking at the others, I doubt I would be able to wake them up soon. I guess I have to stay on guard for them.

"Come here, boy..." another entity whispered into my ear. Instead of getting freaked out, I did not panic and instead look around. I scanned the area and saw a green figure peeking out of the nearby tree. I can't see the figure with our distance but I can tell that it was trying to call me in.

I drop Moonlight with the rest. I shook Itazura out from her slumber and remove her from my neck.

"Itazura, I had to entrust you with them. I hope you can guard them via illusion. Cab you do it?"

Itazura woke up groggily and looked at me and the rest on the ground. It nodded me and quickly stand guard for them. I nodded and decided to approach the entity.  From my guess, that entity in the tree would be the famous dryad.
