Kai took Noxian's words—that the Nightborns within the Andromeda Constellation are much more docile with a grain of salt. And since he was now in possession of two Primordial Locks, enhancing his presence within the House of Night, he decided to be confident.
He used the night to probe the Nightborns around him.
Filtering the stronger ones from the weaker ones.
Another reason that he dared to probe random Nightborns like this was that he didn't feel any hostility from them. Unlike the hostile Nightborn that he encountered before, the ones here have a more controlled presence.
So, he decided to be bold.
It wasn't his first time using the night to probe a Nightborn; he had tried it on Perion, but this was the first time he had used it on ordinary Nightborns. Kai watched the darkness envelop them one by one, at least three at a time within his reach, as faint glowing stars—slowly began to emerge from their bodies.
Glowing stars that hovered right above their heads.
