James continued to stand there as one rune continued to glow. It was mostly smothered by the smoke, but if one got close enough they could see the bright violet rune slightly.
The creature, when reaching James' illusion, would go straight through it as it only affected the senses of sight and smell. It effectively was just a figment of their imagination.
James had used the smoke as, well a smokescreen, to cover his tracks as he now slowly made his way around the clearing. He could sense the presence of a creature reeking of bloodlust so he was, for the sake of having no words to describe it, getting the f*ck out of there as quickly as possible.
He had his mouth covered the entire time to prevent himself from breathing in the smoke as the blue, yellow, green and indigo runes all begun to glow brightly. James had begun counting down. 50 seconds away.
