II. New Crossover Mechanism
Ghost Seal: Interact to spawn several Ghostly Hands. Enemies that touch the hands will be silenced and knocked airborne.
Bronze Sacred Tree: Interact to create an illusion circle which only affects enemies, inflicting Illusory state on those who stay inside long enough.

Players are guaranteed to receive at least 1 Red (Extreme) reward during the process of opening at most 100 Treasures. This can be triggered multiple times.
Red (Extreme) rewards will not repeat until all of them have been obtained.
