The grey mist subtly shifted, and the light grey currents kept swirling.
In the Divine Power Cage, the "Ghost Face" suddenly changed, transforming into a blurry male visage.
The ethereal countenance looked at Charlotte with an alternating light and shadow, and a voice, ancient and elusive, slowly rose within the cage,
"I should have been well-hidden. How did you find me?"
Charlotte glanced at the Divine Technique Counter notification in her field of vision and chuckled,
"Experience, that's all."
The blurry face fell silent.
He took a deep look at Charlotte and said,
"A thousand years have not passed us by, and your Blood Power... seems to have weakened quite a bit."
Hmm?
Is this... an acquaintance of Lilith?
Charlotte's heart skipped a beat.
She looked discreetly toward the blurry face in the cage, not denying his assertion, but instead chuckled with sarcasm,
"Even if I am weakened, at least... I'm stronger than some fellows who have been caught by me."
