Lin Dong looked at his parents before him. He was no longer as emotional as he had been a moment ago; instead, he had adopted a combat stance, as if ready to attack them at any second.
He was able to see through the illusion and realize these "parents" were actually manifestations of a beast not because of any great strength of his own, but simply because he possessed the Dragon Inner Core. The dragon race was the most powerful among the Demon race, and his bloodline held absolute suppression over the vast majority of beasts. Therefore, as soon as the illusion solidified into the image of his parents and approached him, Lin Dong immediately recognized them as fakes—nothing more than a trick of the light.
Even though he had seen through it, Lin Dong still could not bring himself to strike out at his parents, even if they were merely hallucinations.
