The title of Shadowblade, the number one assassin in the underworld, is not in vain. He is now only 15 feet away from Alice, but he has only glanced at Alice once from beginning to end.
Not a hint of lingering gaze, let alone revealing any trace of his presence.
He was acutely aware that for some individuals, an extended glance could raise suspicions, especially if murderous intent was present.
True assassins blend in like any other individual until the moment they strike. It's a swift and lethal move that doesn't allow the target any chance to react.
The Sword Spirit detected a demi-god-like presence nearby, likely due to its immense power.
However, it was unsure of this "demi-god's" intentions.
Attempting to assassinate Alice under its watch?
Such audacity seemed unlikely.
While Shadowblade concealed his aura, the Sword Spirit pretended to be oblivious, almost as if it were indulging in Shadowblade's act.
