Emery analyzed the three options before him. Each opponent presented a unique set of challenges.
The first option, Hall 30, was led by Vince Kastro, an elder from the Kastro family, a sect leader renowned for their spirit-reading abilities. According to VIA's data, Vince was a peak-stage One Cosmos Grand Magus with three Pagoda Spirit Master levels.
Next was General Knox of Hall 33, a battle-hardened veteran from a grade four faction comparable to the Proxima factions. General Knox was a peak-stage One Cosmos Grand Magus, but his true strength lay in his combat prowess, with a battle power reported to rival that of a Two Cosmos fighter.
The third option was Grand Magus Toleno of Hall 37, a half-blood summoner and a master of stealth. Toleno's expertise lay in summoning creatures from the shadows and using cloak-and-dagger tactics to outmaneuver his opponents.
