Everyone turned around in unison.
A figure draped in a robe, face pale yet with a resolute expression, stood in the corner, exuding a sense of death.
He was clearly a powerful Bloodline Mage, but there was an indescribable look in his eyes, "I have been waiting for you."
"Who are you?" El asked warily, "What happened here?"
He slowly approached; the man introduced himself: "I was once part of the research conducted here, my name is Noah."
"We conducted countless explorations and experiments with Bloodline Power, but the cost was heavy. Everything I did was in pursuit of a way to transcend life and death."
Upon hearing this, the team members exchanged glances.
"So, what do you want us to do?"
David asked, unable to resist the urge to uncover the truth behind the secret.
Noah's lips curled into a faint, elusive smile: "I need new strength, and you will become my successors, exploring the true secrets hidden in the darkness of this world together."
