The Medallion

"What do you have to say now? This scene doesn't seem to be fake," Vivian remarked. Although she did not take a closer look, she could easily tell from her broad experience that what they were seeing was too real to be a hallucination.

Rocky somehow thought the same thing. But after a moment, his eyes narrowed as though he discovered something. Out of the blue, he summoned a flame from his palm and threw it at the dismembered corpses in front of them.

In an instant, the remains were engulfed by the blazing flame.

However, to their surprise, the corpses remained unaffected even after they were set ablaze for quite a while now.

"That's weird. What's happening here?" Vivian immediately asked, turning to Rocky with her eyes wide open.

"Well, it's just as I expected," Rocky said while nodding. It appeared he just confirmed something.

"What do you mean? What exactly is going on?" Vivian continued to ask with a confused expression on her face.

"As I expected, this is actually just an illusion. In fact, we must have been hallucinating from the start. Everything we saw in this cave, including the warrior we encountered just now, is nothing but an illusion," Rocky said with certainty in his voice.

"But how do you know that? What makes you so sure?" Although Vivian thought Rocky's theory made sense when they saw the non-burning corpses, she was not too convinced. After all, everything they saw up to now was way too real. Moreover, she thought that if this was just really an illusion, they should have noticed it much earlier.

"Did you not notice that there was no scent? When we stumbled upon this brutal scene, there should have been a strong smell of blood all over the place. But the moment we approached this area, I didn't smell anything. Besides, despite Koko having a very keen sense of smell, it failed to lead us out of this maze. Thus, the only possible explanation behind all these is that we're just hallucinating. Most probably, we are still by the entrance and we haven't moved an inch at all!" Rocky explained in detail.

"I can understand the logic of what you are saying, but it just baffles me that we did not notice it when we were put under an illusion." Vivian furrowed her brows as she tried to figure how it happened.

"I think the spell took effect right after we entered the cave. Maybe the entire cave has been cast with a strong spiritual skill that could make anyone hallucinate," Rocky replied with a frown.
