The Shadowmare refused the summoning!
This power comes from Wayne's right eye, where the homeless Goddess of Death resides.
Wayne is merely an apprentice Death Knight. When it comes to the Shadowmare, his priority is certainly below that of Rone. However, the Shadowmare is the creation of the Goddess of Death, and her authority surpasses Rone's.
The Goddess can give the Shadowmare to whomever she pleases, but Wayne cannot. It's like Wayne wielding the Goddess's hand to swing a sword—could Rone really wrest the sword from the Goddess herself?
Ridiculous. Does Rone think he's that powerful? Come on, the guy at least has faith to bolster him.
Unlike Wayne, who's been fantasizing about defying the Goddess the whole time!
Rone failed to grasp hold of the Shadowmare. His chaotic thoughts immediately cleared, and he looked at Wayne in shock and disbelief: "You… the Goddess… rejected me?"
"Indeed, the Goddess is with me."
