Lucian learned the man's name, Lumin, a devotee of the Goddess of Shadows in his thirties. The document didn't reveal his Pact names but did detail his powers: shadow manipulation, the ability to veil his face with darkness, crafting lifelike illusions from shadows, and a skill—a shadow rope that inflicted burns on contact, perfect for a lethal grip.
Next, Lucian delved into Lumin's malevolent actions: forceful exploitation of women, murder, and human sacrifices in the name of his twisted faith.
As he read about the heinous acts, vivid, gruesome images formed in Lucian's mind. His resolve solidified—he would end this man's life. Still, he harbored some doubt about the accuracy of the information, but he had a plan to confirm its veracity.
Tucking the paper into his overcoat pocket, he turned to Joseph, stating, "I need this information validated. Can my friend who advanced do that?"
