For the Darkness Path

The old man had a wicked smile on his face the moment he heard that… As expected, sealing the Dark Energy from the real Philip and connecting his Dark Energy to the fake Philip would make this masked man think that the one on his right was the real one.

In the old man's mind, he guessed that the masked man tried sensing the Darkness Possession of his fellow Dark Arts Practitioner and didn't get a response from the real Philip. He probably thought that the disguise couldn't replicate the Darkness Possession of a fellow practitioner!

'Now!' The old man ordered the Shapeshifter as he attacked Vale with his summoned Spectral Hands.

As soon as the Shapeshifter received the signal he was waiting for, he opened his eyes, which were certainly different from the real Philip and tried to use a Spell.
