He spoke with an air of contempt. He had thought that Bloody Axe Herbert would select a Dark Gold Level Hunter as a formidable competitor or perhaps cooperate with the council to trip him up since he had the backing of the royal family. If there were two Dark Gold hunters from council vying for the Shadow Hunter's spot, even he would have a headache. Yet, to his surprise, a greenhorn at the Black Copper level was chosen.
And the greenhorn was a mental origin energy manipulator - an Illusionist, the kind Herbert was least afraid of.
He practiced the Mad Lion Fist, his spiritual will was beyond ordinary people's. Even an illusionist of the same level wouldn't be able to trap him in the Illusion Space for long.
Let alone a Black Copper, someone of that level would only end up getting bitten back on the spot.
