Chapter 322: Traces
The air around the crime scene grew heavier as Mrs. Kira stepped closer to Marcus Rayner's lifeless body.
Her delicate fingers reached up to her face, and in a single motion, she removed her blindfold. Gasps rippled through the small crowd of onlookers as her full face came into view... her white eyelashes framing bright, luminous yellow eyes with a haunting black sclera.
The golden shimmer appeared on her hands intensified as a strange sun eye-like pattern that appeared on her palm.
She gently crouched down and placed her hand on the man's forehead. Beside her, Claus moved, his single visible eye was focused. With a sigh, he reached up and removed his eye patch, revealing a striking difference from his other eye, his uncovered eye was black with a white sclera, his lashes as pale as Kira's.
Kneeling beside her, Claus placed his hand on the man's chest. A faint black moon eye sigil, appeared on the back of his hand, complementing the glowing pattern on Kira's palm.
"Are you ready?" Kira asked softly.
Claus nodded. "Yes."
The moment the words left his lips, their eyes began to glow... Kira's radiating with an intense golden light, Claus's burning like an inky abyss. A massive, radiant magic circle materialized beneath them, its design a mesmerizing blend of black and yellow, a vivid interplay of the sun and moon.
The runes and sigils within the circle pulsed with mana, casting the entire in a strange glow. A Union official standing nearby took an involuntary step back, awe written across his face. "What...what is this?" he murmured, his voice trembling.
Seth, leaning casually against the lamppost, whistled low. "How flashy," he said, scribbling something in his notebook.
"Don't get to see this kind of light show every day." He smirked but couldn't hide the slight edge of unease in his tone.
