Daniel walked towards the revealed hidden door, seemingly indifferent to the impending clash between Christopher and Magnus.

"Where are you going, Magitek!? By the law of the Hightower, you are duty-bound to protect me!" Magnus shouted, stepping back from Christopher's advance.

Besides, I recall that you can only use your authority to force a mage from another faction to protect you if two conditions are fulfilled. First, you must not have attempted to kill them within 72 hours before making the request. Second, none of the mages from the same faction must be available within immediate contact range," Daniel said before unleashing a fire explosion bullet that blasted the door open, revealing what lay beyond.
