The arrival of the five Tier 8 mages who obstructed Terran's path confirmed that they belonged to the faction opposed to Mad Dog.
It was evident that they were the ones behind Terran's Deployment , fully aware of the presence of an Evil Sect Mage in the city.
Their motives had been clear as their scheme unfolded, they aimed to either manipulate the Cardinal's hand to eliminate Terran or place the blame on him for any resulting city damage, ensuring his capture.
Their plan to restrain Terran had not accounted for a significant variable, the Minotaur, which ultimately showed up and also led to Alfred being summoned.
Furthermore, they were the masterminds behind persuading the Dean to assign the task of guarding to Alfred, believing that his laziness would result in a refusal to help.
