Xion led the other team members in a deeper investigation. The result was obvious and differed little from their previous conclusion.
The traces left behind in every aspect proved one thing: last night, the powers of at least three lineages had collided here. Apart from Radiance and Umbral, the other was an entirely unknown energy signature with no record on file.
Through astrological divination, the Umbral power and that unknown power appeared to belong to the same person. As for the Radiance, it presumably belonged to that pastor. Every pastor of the Holy Candlemas Church above the ritual rank was a transcendent of the Radiance Spectrum.
