Severus turned his body towards Atherion, who was sitting in the chair to the right of the table, in the palace waiting room.
Atherion stared at Severus and said indifferently, his arms crossed over his chest, "You want us to become your students so that Eldrida can also be safe, right?"
Severus, who was holding out the crystal ball, was momentarily taken aback because he didn't expect Atherion to say that, but then he burst into laughter.
"If you already know, hurry up," Severus said after he stopped laughing.
Indifferently, Atherion placed his hand on the crystal.
Soon, the crystal emitted a black mist and then shattered.
Seeing this, Severus was stunned. Duke Valois and Camelia were also stunned by what they saw.
"Hmm," Severus murmured. "The power of The Darkness is indeed immeasurable."
Atherion snorted softly, then said to Severus, "What do you want to teach us, old man? Hurry up, we don't have much time."
