Chapter 2097 Twin Flames (Part 1)

'Don't worry, we can do it on our own.' Tista said. 'Solus?'

'I'm already back at my full strength.' The stone ring switched hands and the Eyes split into two Monocles.

'Are you sure you don't need help? My Golems are too big, but I can still send Locrias and Varegrave with you. They are the strongest of my Demons.' Lith asked.

'No need. Besides if you give them enough power to be stronger than me or powerful equipment, they'll become visible from a distance by anyone with Life Vision.' Tista checked the corridor and left the room, looking for the final piece of the puzzle.

She tracked down a female clerk and sucker-punched her from behind. Then, Tista bound and gagged the unconscious civil servant before shoving her in the broom closet with Lith.

'If she wakes up, just knock her down again. Just make sure to not kill her.' Tista said while stripping the woman of her uniform and badge, putting them inside the Scalewalker armor that turned into a perfect copy of the clothes down to the smallest detail.

At the same time, Tista used Invigoration to study the clerk's life force and gradually altered her own until she became an identical twin of the woman.

'This way, even if she has a communication amulet, her rune will remain. Also, I can now move freely between the floors without having to hide whenever I meet someone.

'You get rid of the guards before they can check my badge and this suit of flesh will do the rest.'

'I like your idea, but taking a prisoner is overkill. What are the odds of a civil servant having a communication amulet?' Solus asked.

'During peace times, none. Yet this is war and Thrud has proven to be a sly opponent. In her shoes, I would give an amulet to all the people with clearance to access key facilities, even janitors.

'It's a small price to pay for making sure that no one has killed them and found a way to tamper with the badges.' She replied.

Lith nodded in approval and gave the Demons new orders. In his book, there was no such thing as "too paranoid".

'Change of plans. On my command instead of killing the guards and possessing their bodies, just suck their vitality with Abomination Touch until they faint. Manipulate them like puppets and keep them alive until it's strictly necessary.'

The Demons grumbled in annoyance. The scarce energy they possessed made them hungry for warmth and life, but they resisted it. Lith had promised them a feast and a fight that would sate their needs.

Meanwhile, Tista moved along the corridors of the third floor of the city hall and reached the first node of runes.

'Elemental magic is sealed and using Spirit Magic would light a beacon that will alert the Forgotten.' Solus pondered. 'I can guide you step-by-step on how to disable the node with first magic but it will take a long time and-'

'Don't worry. There's a reason why the Royals requested my presence. While you and Lith were on honeymoon, I worked my ass off with the Phoenixes. Also, I've been working with Phloria's Awakened corps ever since our family got the clearance to return to the Kingdom.' Tista cut her short.

'I was not on honeymoon! I- You know what? I don't want to talk about it. Let's focus on our mission.' Tista could feel Solus's emotions turning into a chaotic mess through the mind link.
