Chicago, Illinois
A portal with glowing white edges flickered into existence at the top of one of the high-rise buildings. It pulsed once—before two men walked out, their mere presence exuding power.
One of them flicked his wrist, making the portal close behind them. "Thanks for accompanying me for this, Valentine." Gabriel angled his head to the Necromancer beside him.
He wore a sharp, form-fitting crimson suit, his short black hair perfectly styled. The fading light of the closing portal glistened on his caramel skin.
In contrast, Valentine adjusted the collar of his black cashmere trench coat. "How adorable. You think I chose to tag along because of you?" A small smirk curved his mouth as he raised his head to the night sky. "I'm merely here for research. It's not all the time you get the chance to be up close with an SS-Rank monster."
