Chapter 157 – Marked
"I see you now," Lux muttered, voice smooth but charged.
His vision—layered with Corvus' aerial overlay—highlighted the rooftop where two hidden figures stood, cloaked in mana-smoke.
"Mark the coordinates."
[Marked. Two confirmed targets. Real bodies. Minimal masking. Poor sportsmanship.]
He raised a hand.
Mana shifted.
A thousand infernal threads curled upward toward the clouds, forming black stars of fire.
"Hellfire Rain."
The sky broke.
Molten black droplets fell like celestial spite. Controlled. Smart. Elegant death from above. No reckless inferno—just precision murder set to a tempo.
The annex rooftop across the block screamed as spellfire detonated across its surface. Flames painted the skyline. Then—movement.
Two shadows bolted.
Lux didn't need to guess anymore.
He saw them. The real ones.
