"...They're already here."
The room fell into silence again as I finished my words.
Or they were powerful enough to do that. My senses were telling me that a skilled Mystic was involved in it.
One with a shadow affinity.
I thought as I remembered the guard's shadow moving even after knocking him out earlier, when I stole his identity for a bit. Thankfully, I managed to implant the scenes I witnessed as 'him' before waking him up. Although I wasted Glacia Sinfonia, it was all worth it.
However...
I was unable to save this guy's life.
Just like the assassins, I was fooled as well, believing this black pill was the real threat to their lives. That I could save him and the others, who had likely been threatened with their families to do the job. Heck, I was certain that most of them weren't even real assassins. I even used a Character Insight to test it. And I turned out to be right.
