It appeared whatever apparition Travis had discovered was also noted by Roy whom quickly disengaged and sought a defensive action instead. Zuri's voice then resonated from the shadowy figure, assuring Travis of some unspoken plan before lashing out a series of dark waves toward he and Roy. Sharing the same expression as his assailant, Travis too anticipated the worse but instead found the would-be attack helpful as the dust that prevented him from casted spells was then blown away neatly. The particle surge of dark-energy was apparently nothing more than an illusion has we watched the waves phase harmlessly right through him and dispersed. Trickery aside, it had at least spooked Roy just as much as it did he.

Travis drew in mana to his palms after lengthening them out in front of him with a few spells he had in mind to use but decided to reserve them for the moment. Regardless, he kept his eyes set on the ex-hunter, not wanting a repeat of the situation moments ago.
