Although the Talismans felt like just some sort of Charm that many Apprentice Shamans would normally sell, Vale couldn't help but reconsider these Talismans since they were still made by a powerful Time Manipulator.

"Can you tell me more about these talismans?" Vale asked and his skepticism was also evident.

The Shaman seemed to sense Vale's doubt, and he wasn't surprised. There were already many Arcanists who had found his talisman very intriguing, as if he was simply trying to scam ordinary people who didn't know much about the Arcane Arts.

"Of course," he said confidently. "The Protection Talisman wards off negative energies and bad luck. The Wealth and Prosperity Talisman attracts financial success and abundance... And the Love and Relationship Talisman strengthens bonds and attracts positive relationships. They may not seem like much, but they are powerful in their own right. They work best when kept close, even while you sleep."

The Shaman said as he decided not to share too much information about the Arcane Arts that he had used.

'I'll have to test it then...' Vale thought as he decided to buy them.

"I'll take one of each," he said, handing over the payment. All three of them were only worth 80 zen.

It was cheap for him but certainly a bit too pricey for a casual purchase.

'Why is he charging for a very cheap price if he's sure that it's effective? Is there something I'm missing?' He mused.

The Shaman then smiled and handed him the talismans. "You won't be disappointed."

Vale took the talismans and walked away, finding a quiet spot to study them. He wasn't worried that Wasa, disguised as a Shaman, would actually escape from his senses.

He then activated his Divine Sense, probing the talismans for any hidden secrets. Holding the items while inspecting it would give him more accurate information about the item than just by looking at it.

'My Divine Extraction System didn't work, huh...' Shane mused as his system wasn't triggered after touching it. He wasn't too surprised about it since there were many other items that he couldn't extract as their energy was just too negligible in most cases.

Nonetheless, after investigating it for a while, he felt a strange energy within each one, but he couldn't understand more than that.

The energy was subtle, elusive, and unlike anything he had encountered before.

Soon, Vale pointed his target, and Somnus made his move.

Vale watched as Somnus drifted away and its presence barely perceptible. Vale followed it at a distance, ensuring he remained unseen.

As the spirit moved through the crowded streets, its ethereal form passed unnoticed among the people. Not even some Shamans could sense its presence.

As Somnus approached Wasa's stall, it began to make its move...

The air around the disguised Shaman grew heavy, and a sense of drowsiness began to settle over him.

Wasa, however, was no ordinary man. He felt the intrusion, the subtle tug of magic trying to pull him into slumber.

Realizing he was under attack, Wasa's eyes widened in alarm.

He fought against the enchantment, but he knew that it was too late!

With a final burst of willpower, he managed to send a telepathic message to his companions: "I might be captured. Be careful!"

As soon as he was able to send this message, the spell took hold, and Wasa's eyes fluttered shut.

He slumped over his stall.

Thud...

His breathing was deep as he succumbed to the sleep induced by Somnus.

Seeing the result of Somnus' work, Vale approached... His eyes scanned the surroundings to ensure no one had noticed.

He then reached out and touched Wasa's shoulder, confirming that the Time Manipulator was indeed unconscious.

"One down, three more to go."
