An Extra’s POV

"Let's get the first things out of the way."

The one known as Ater began by raising a finger, pointing the tip upwards.

"Darkness…"

In an instant, a swirling sphere of darkness, sparking with purple crackles of energy, appeared at the top of his pointed finger.

It shot up into the sky, scattering the moment it reached a high enough altitude.

Once the sphere exploded, it created a thin layer of purplish black darkness—like a veil—that covered the sky and shrouded the immediate vicinity.

In a mere moment, all of the Mercenary Gang members were within the massive dome of darkness.

'What did he just do?' Claudius wondered to himself as he stared above him.

They could still see the moon hanging in the sky, as well as pretty much everything else.

The world was just a bit darker, but apart from that, there was no issue at all.

'If his goal was not to take away our vision to restrict our mobility, then what was it?

"Don't look so concerned. This doesn't affect you in any way, so ignore it." Ater smiled, and Claudius felt like those words were directed at him in particular.

It frightened him.

"Now then, it'll be a waste of time to entertain you all any further, and I'm pretty bored, so I think I'll just end this quickly."

Before Claudius could properly process and analyze what he just heard, Ater pointed his finger towards the crowd and muttered words.

"Dark Possession."

In that instant, a powerful pulse radiated from Ater, filling the entire space in an instant.

"G-guh!" Claudius felt something slip into his consciousness, but he quickly shrugged it away.

His body felt cold, but he overcame it all through his sheer willpower.

Blinking rapidly and shrouding himself in energy, he woke up from whatever slumber he must have been experiencing.

However, what he saw next was perplexing.

"UWAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!"

"SAVE ME! SAVE MEEEEEEEEEE!!!"

"I'M DYING! UWAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

"HELP MEEEEEEEE!!!"

"MOMMY! DADDY!"
