The assassination was going to happen at the **Grand Cathedral.**


    Aurelia had a sermon scheduled there **tomorrow night.**


    Eclipse wasn’t wasting time.


    I strapped on my **guns and sword,** then activated **Stealth Mode.**

    I infiltrated the cathedral **before dawn.**


    Guards were stationed around the building, but they wouldn’t be enough.


    I climbed onto a **high beam** overlooking the altar.


    Then, I waited.


    Midnight struck.


    The temperature **dropped.**


    A **figure cloaked in black** slipped through the shadows, moving toward Aurelia’s private chambers.


    I activated **Mind Reading.**


    And what I saw **sent a chill down my spine.**


    This wasn’t a normal assassin.


    It was one of **Eclipse’s Seven Demonic Generals.**


    And he was already **inside the cathedral.**
