Finding the Silver Eye Clan\'s entrance was easier than expected.

It was not as if it wasn\'t well hidden, or that the members of the Silver Eye Clan made it easier for Nial to detect the entrance.

However, Nial possessed something that only a handful of beings could name. He was in the possession of the Silver Eyes that could see all mana. The first time he couldn\'t detect a Mana Source was the Summoner who had teleported them to the outskirts of the dense forest.

It had shocked him quite a bit if he were, to be honest. After all, there was nothing that could be hidden from his eyes. At least, that was what he thought before.

\'That\'s a clue.\'

Even though Nial didn\'t know much about the material and means that had been used to hide their Mana Source and the mana fluctuation around their body, Nial could tell something particularly when it came to beings hiding their mana and Mana Source.

It felt like they didn\'t possess any mana, almost as if their entire being was manaless. For someone who was able to see mana for a long time, the sight of a being without mana was grotesque. Nial was pretty sure that something like that shouldn\'t exist since mana could be found everywhere and in anyone.

The sight of the manaless Summoner was something that could be considered a culture shock. There had been no mana currents around the Summoner as well. It was almost as if the Summoner\'s entire being repulsed mana.

Of course, Nial knew that this was not the case and that the Summoner must have used some means to seal his body temporarily, restricting the release of Mana.

By doing so, the surrounding mana wouldn\'t be suctioned to the Summoner either.

\'Searching for spots where mana seems to be repulsed, artificially influenced, and the natural mana currents led around. A place where no mana seems to exist…no that would be too easy…They wouldn\'t seal their entire hideout from the influence of mana. They would restrict the mana, or adjust it accordingly to merge with the surrounding.

But something like that is not perfect. Installing traps, terraforming the environment and installing isolation domes, and various other devices will leave behind tracks…hiding these tracks shouldn\'t be too difficult by concealing the mana completely. That way, they only seal little spots that can be hidden easily rather than entire regions.\'

Using his brain and Silver Eye to his advantage, Nial found his way quickly to the center of the dense forest. Avoiding stronger monsters was not too difficult for someone like him. He and Celine were only at the 1st Mirae rank and thus not really interesting prey for most monsters from the get go.

Some monsters may show interest in them, but by avoiding the most powerful monsters, Nial and Celine made their way to the center of the dense forest, where they climbed the tallest tree.

Nial may not necessarily need to do this, but he wanted to see the dense forest from a bird\'s perspective. Being able to see the natural streams of mana, the sources of mana from any being, and the potential hue of monsters, Nial could actually decipher a lot from a simple glance across the entire dense forest.

He detected a few \'hideouts\' where the natural streams of mana had been artificially altered, but Nial ignored them quickly. They were mere decoys and secondary hideouts that could be used in emergencies. Other than emergency situations, these hideouts were probably also used as watchtowers to guard the dense forest and warn everyone the moment invaders arrive.

There were many of those tiny hideouts and Nial could clearly detect the potential hues of a few Familiars with special traits.

Others may not know about it, but the Mana Source of monsters and Familiars was vastly different. Everyone had a unique Mana Source, but there were certain common traits when it came to beings of the same kind. Creatoran had a Mana Source that looked 95% the same. The 5% difference was everything Nial needed to find out who was pursuing him and whom he was looking at.

After all, he imprinted everyone\'s Mana Source into his mind the moment he encountered them. That was much easier than recalling someone\'s appearance because that could change in accordance to the bound Familiar, and from surgeries, or the use of special medicine.

Either way, Nial found a bunch of Familiars, which he determined at one particular point in their Mana Source. He presumed that this \'mark\' was the Soul Link because every Familiar had the same mark on their Mana Source.

While he could see only one or two Familiars in the hideouts, watching over the dense forest, there were hundreds of Mana Sources in one particular location. These Mana Sources originated from Creatoran and Familiars, some hurriedly moving around while others didn\'t move most of the time.

It was the village of the Silver Eye Clan, and his final destination!

Once he found the village, the last task at hand was to find the entrance. Finding the entrance to the Silver Eye Clan\'s village didn\'t take too long. It was only early afternoon once he stepped through the entrance holding Celine\'s hand.

Celine couldn\'t see the mana-infused traps and various other inconveniences that could be avoided with his Silver Eye. Thus, he led her through the forest, straight into the village.

At first, nobody took note of the two new arrivals. Nobody really expected that Nial would be able to find the village that quickly, let alone that he would be able to find the entrance. It was even less believable that Nial was able to lead the way through the traps without triggering a single one.

Even will fully unleashed Silver Eyes, this wasn\'t easy.

However, Nial made it possible.

\'I wonder if mom\'s family is nice. Well, if they aren\'t nice, I can just leave.\'

While he thought about that, he entered the village, his eyes scanning the entire village and each of the Mana Sources with great detail.

\'Well…running away might be a bit difficult. How can they be stronger than mom?! Didn\'t she brag that she was a heavenly talent? She shouldn\'t have lied to me…or did she become lazy?\'

Nial was not too sure what to think about his mother\'s words now that he scanned through the village of the Silver Eye Clan. He had yet to encounter anyone with silver eyes, other than his mother.

However, that was not the important point since every single Mana Source was overwhelmingly powerful. Everyone had their power restricted and precisely controlled, but Nial could still feel the pressure just by staring blankly at their Mana Sources.

This may be a little rude, however, he couldn\'t really care bout that right now.

\'Are all of them at the Mythician rank? No, it doesn\'t really feel that way. Mother\'s Mana Core is different, and she is definitely at the Mythician rank…or did she lie about that as well?!\'

Nial felt it difficult to determine the Mana Core rank of Originals stronger than him but that was only feasible.

He had yet to reach that rank, so how was he supposed to make a perfect analysis of other people\'s Mana Source?

It was possible, but it was not as if it was easy.
