A few seconds after Cain left, a figure emerged from Magnus' shadows. The man was covered in thick darkness, making it impossible to see his true form, but his eyes were sharp and had vertical pupils.
"Such sharp instincts. No wonder that the Patriarch praised the young man."
Magnus tightened his fists as he heard those words from the man covered in darkness.
"Is he stronger than you, Lord Opin?"
The man covered in darkness turned toward Magnus before a sharp light appeared in his eyes.
"Boy, do not play tricks with me. I will fulfill my mission, but you are on your own if you attempt to fight against Cain Laurifer. Unless that young man attacks first, I will not raise my hands against him."
Opin said nothing else before melting, merging again with Magnus' shadows.
