The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Felix was stunned that he had been detected. After all, he had even activated the Nightshade Discipline. Back when he was with Helena, his presence could not be sensed even at close range. "What's the matter? Are you not willing to show yourself?"

As he spoke, the old man slowly extended his hands forward.
