It was already astonishing for Jason to notice that Lux and the three other humans emerged out of the four-star rift without fainting, which was something he couldn't do.
However, the mana that was erupting far away and the three-meter-tall darkness enveloped beings with ruby-colored eyes was even more shocking to Jason, who subconsciously took a step back.
He was not alone, because Max and Seron's eyes also widened as they shivered and retreated in fear.
'Each of them is stronger than Shane..' Jason thought, with cold sweat trickling down his back.
Shane paled when he sensed the erupting mana and decided to change to plan B.
If there was only one race that wished to take away Lux and the others, Shane would reveal himself, while demonstrating his combat prowess. He wouldn't hold back to show that he could fight the Shadow walker if something were to happen, but their whole plan crumbled to pieces in an instant.
