Moon nodded, "Of course, why would I? They can't see me or interfere now. Which means I can fight you at the full extent of my abilities without holding back. You've actually done me a tremendous favor."
The fox's face darkened, its smirk finally evaporating, "I see…you planned this from the very beginning. You are quite the intelligent one, you would add a remarkable specimen to my collection."
Moon's eyes narrowed. "What makes you think you can win now that I've seen through your illusion tricks? I can kill S-rank beasts with a single attack. And you're clearly not built for defensive tanking or direct combat—you're a control specialist, a manipulator."
