As Shinon left the meeting room, his face bore a secret smile, hidden from the world, knowing that he had seized a unique opportunity and now knew a bit about the mysterious Eclipse leader.
"At least I got something from staying behind," Shinon mumbled as a notification popped before his eyes.
He had used his [Shadow Mimic] ability to great effect, acquiring a fragment of the Eclipse leader's power and some stat points to bolster his own strength.
Unfortunately, he didn't get any skill from him, but he was happy with what he got. It was a small but significant victory, adding to his growing arsenal.
Outside the room, he found Miro patiently waiting for him. The man had become a steadfast ally and mentor for Shinon, providing guidance in the complex dynamics of Heaven's Refuge and helping him with matters surrounding Caleb.
