Heidern agreed to cooperate with John to take on the Shadow Clan, but only if the Shadow Clan initiated an attack on them.
Lincoln had always assumed John was the weaker party.
But now, it didn't seem that way.
In several Secret Area trials and the second power assessment, John had achieved first place, amassing over forty million points — almost more than the combined total of all those outside the top ten.
Lincoln didn't believe John had achieved such a high score simply with the help of Cand-Dragon and others.
And in the third aptitude assessment, John was once again in first place.
He had a feeling that Godslayer might prove even harder to deal with than the Shadow Clan.
Now that the Shadow Clan had targeted this human, it was exactly what he wanted to see.
What surprised him most was John's strength — he was able to effortlessly fend off an onslaught from seven powerful members of the Shadow Clan.
