Caelum ground his teeth.
How dare that Keeper's Apprentice steal the spotlight from him!
He and Varnel were supposed to be more than enough to take him down, yet he seemed stronger than they… no, everyone had anticipated.
The white-haired young man was formidable enough that Caelum had no choice but to reveal his trump card - the latest boon he had received from his Sponsor, [Overseer of the Great Fissure].
Delight had coursed through the illusionist's veins when he discovered that the Divine Sovereign had granted him the ability to control one of their lesser minions.
…Which made this whole situation even more infuriating!
Caelum had planned on keeping this card close to his chest, just like how he had suppressed the news of him contracting with a Divine Sovereign. It would serve him well as a hidden ace in the long run.
Who knew that he would have to use it so soon, and against someone of his own Rank, no less?
