Rank 10 threw out another 'flash grenade' into the air to reveal Elan's location. Though, this time, after Elan's location was briefly revealed, the shadows surrounding him darkened even further to match Elan's tint.
'He's changing the tone of the darkness to hide himself properly.'
But of course, Rank 10 wasn't going to be stopped by something like this. He destroyed the light source he created and dashed towards the swathe of black mass.
Lorn could guess his plan. Since Elan had to change the tone of darkness to match his own shade, Rank 10 would still be able to see where him during that brief interval. Even if Elan summoned the creature again, Rank 10 could now attack without hesitation, since he knew it was partly on his side.
However, even with the light disappearing, Elan's position was not revealed. The 10-meter-wide shadow all darkened at the same pace.
