The Truth?

While Kieran was panicking behind the tree's shadow, preparing to attack, the black figure suddenly backed off a couple of steps and turned around, turning his back to him.

His gaze was sweeping the darkness before him.

"Come out!" the figure said.

Just as the man spoke, another black figure revealed itself from a dark spot not far away.

"There's someone else?" Kieran frowned while still hiding in the shadows.

Even though he'd had all his attention on the black figure before him, he had still reserved some attention for his surroundings. However, when the second black figure appeared, Kieran realized he had not noticed him.

"It must be a high level [Undercover] skill! No, this is beyond [Undercover]! There must be something else combined with it!"

Kieran could not help but widen his eyes when he saw the second black figure walk over slowly, seemingly manipulating the darkness around him with his powers.
