Two figures stood on a rooftop across the street from the portal facility.
Both were cloaked in dark, fitted garments. Their faces were partially hidden beneath hoods, with only the lower halves of their features visible. The taller of the two wore a slim mask across the bridge of his nose, leaving only his eyes and mouth exposed. The shorter carried twin daggers strapped along the small of his back, their hilts wrapped in black leather.
Their auras were completely suppressed.
To anyone glancing at the rooftop, they would have been invisible. Two shadows pressed against shadows. Two silences within a silent night.
Both of them were peak Surpassers. Top rankers in the kingdom's Surpasser rankings. The Awakener's Association didn't deploy assassins of their caliber for ordinary work. The fact that they were here, watching a single Evolver enter a portal, spoke volumes about how seriously the Association was treating Moon's protection.
