The news of the four captured Dawnblades members reached the members of the organization in Atrium City sooner than the Order of the Sky Sword expected.
The moment Ruth learned what had happened, she immediately gathered several of the organization's elite members.
There were eight of them in total.
All eight had awakened the same Arcane Path.
Dark Arts.
They were among the Dawnblades' most capable members when it came to infiltration, concealment, and nighttime operations. Unlike ordinary adventurers, they had learned how to manipulate shadows and darkness in ways that the people of the Valor Realm had never seen before.
Their leader was a young man named Timothy.
He stood at the front of the group, dressed in a dark cloak that covered most of his body. A black mask concealed his face, leaving only his eyes visible.
The other seven were dressed similarly.
Of course, none of them carried the insignia of the Dawnblades.
