The black-robed figure stood motionless beside Feng Xiu, his presence pressing down on the entire theatre like an unseen weight. When he finally spoke, his voice was low and distorted, as if layered with something unnatural.
"I am a member of the Red Cloud Mercenary Group," he said calmly. "I am currently recruiting five people to hunt the Leviathan."
A ripple went through the audience.
"As for the Qualifications to attend this recruitment..." he continued without pause. "As long as you have Tier-5 mana, you are welcome to try. Those who are interested may meet me in the duel chamber for a test."
His head tilted slightly, as if scanning the crowd through the demonic mask. "That is all."
Without waiting for questions or reactions, a dark aura surged around his body. The light on the stage warped for a brief instant, and then he vanished as if he had never been there.
