Kassian smiled and launched a casual attack, completely underestimating a Ren with the pendant that hid his true mana level after 6 months since Kassian had last seen him.
He had considered that day's purifying light in the children's battle against Klein as simple nonsense that had seemed revolutionary, it had to be only an intelligent use of the infection that Ravenspire had just cured in his own soldiers.
However...
He realized he was somewhat wrong when Ren dodged his attack with impossible fluidity and hit him full in the face.
Unfortunately the light claws didn't cut Kassian, instead breaking owing to the fact that there was a big mana density difference.
The punch connected exactly like Selphira had done that same day, though the old woman had ended up restraining herself.
Kassian stepped back surprised though not truly hurt, more from shock than physical damage.
However, rage grew uncontrolled within him.
"Damn brat!" he spat, preparing for a more serious attack.
