Cynrik only stayed in his [Shadow Leap] for a short time after talking with Brance. His next move was to double-check his DMG loadout one last time before moving out and sweeping through the remaining three mischiefs of Fanged Rats. Without having to worry about the others or holding back, it took him less than 15 minutes to clear through them like a chaotic storm filled with flames and darkness.
After the battle with Ragnar, Cynrik was aware of what he lacked in combat and took this time to work through his skills by stringing together combinations formed of fire and shadows. This process saw the birth of his fourth Fusion skill [BlackFire Sewing], which in a sense was just coating the previously formed shadow tendrils with a layer of Fire Mana.
