Hearing Lin Mu's words, Elyon's eyes gleamed with a predatory light. "You mean to dismantle the heart before the body can flinch."
"Yes," Lin Mu answered simply. He moved to the edge of the chamber, his presence melting back into the wall as he phased. "The Patriarch was the first pillar. Now we test how many more can be removed before the structure collapses."
Elyon let the shadows engulf him again, his form vanishing into the dim recesses of the hall. Together, their silent hunt would now begin.
They melted into the Grand Hall like shadows folding into walls, two different halves of a single, deadly instrument. Lin Mu moved through seams of space, slipping between pillars and floors with his Spatial Skills.
Elyon moved through literal shadow, his Darkness Dao swallowing the light and making corridors seem empty even when he stood within them. Where Lin Mu's presence condensed, Elyon's absence made a hole. Together they operated as one mind with two hands.
