Shang and the Sweeper only looked at the Ancestral Mage.
There had been too many plot twists in the past minutes, and they had some issues with actually coming to terms with reality.
The powerful Ancestral Mage that wanted to kill them had now asked them for a job.
"You have a Light Affinity?" the Sweeper asked.
Even though he had long white hair and looked rather heroic, he had still cloaked his fists in Darkness Mana, which meant that his main Affinity was probably Light, but he also had some mastery over Darkness.
The Ancestral Mage nodded. "Correct," he said without any worries.
The Sweeper also nodded. "Hide your aura for a second. We are in a dangerous place, and we shouldn't talk here."
The Ancestral Mage only shrugged before suddenly vanishing.
Even though he hadn't moved, Shang and the Sweeper couldn't find him anymore.
