Modern Day Talisman Crafter

Adam leaned against the wall, his legs shaking. The fight had exhausted him physically and mentally. The beast was gone, reduced to ashes, but the sound of distant footsteps sent shivers down his spine.

"Tell me there's no one left to meet," Adam said, clutching the messenger as a lifeline.

Mi-rae sat beside the rotting remains of the beast, unable to read as she searched. The ashes in his hand were not saying in his voice: No, we are not "Tang, but we need to know what they are after us." Adam's patience was running out. "Is it important now?" They are coming, and we are sitting here playing detective!" Mi-Rai ignored him, and he released a small burst of black energy that burned from the ashes. The flame slowed down like a heartbeat.

"This,"

said as he held it. "They're fans. They'll introduce themselves to each other

Do Hyun, still leaning against the wall, opened his eyes. His voice. His words were harsh, but encouraging. "They can track when this part is active. It's connected to their network."

Mi-rae's jaw clenched. - And we destroyed it.

Adam watched as he pulled the spell in a complex, twisting pattern. He placed it on the chip, activating it. The magic flashed before breaking, catching the fragments.

"Okay, fine," he said. Adam, standing "No pursuers."

Mi-rae nodded. "Let's go. Now."

He helped Do Hyun up, his movements slow but powerful as he walked. Adam took the reins and held the torch to light the way forward.

It was long, dark, and threatening. Every sound—the rushing water, the crashing wind—seemed louder in the ominous silence.

"Where are we going?" Adamu asked quietly.

"The other one is hidden deep within the system," said

Mairai. "It's older, off the grid The Black Barrier must not know this. "

"No," Adam replied fearfully. "It's comforting."

They walked for hours in silent silence, twisting and turning the narrow paths until Adam had lost all sense of direction.

, 444 they were ready. When MiRae reached a wide part of the tunnel, she raised her hand and motioned for them to stand.

"What is this?" Adam whispered.

Mi-rae pointed to the ground. Adam didn't see anything at first, but then he did: a small moon The ground, invisible in the dark moon.

"Runes," MiRae said, her voice inaudible. "It's a trap."

Adam's stomach dropped. "Can we do this?"

Mi-rae studied the model, her expression very serious. "We can go back, but it will take time. Watch my back."

She bent down next to Ron, pulling out a number of tools and spells. Adam just waited, his face squinting in the darkness.

The distant footsteps grew louder.

"They're going," he whispered.

Miri said without looking: Get him off me.

Adam reached into his pocket. His hands were shaking as he pulled out a powerful spell and activated it. The force of the force shook him, and he trusted her still.

The first figure to appear in the tunnel: a black hijab merchant wearing dark armor, his face hidden by a mask. Their movement was precise;

No one did Wait for their attack. He cast a fire spell, and the card ignited. The customer dodged, and the wall behind them was engulfed in flames.

"It's okay," Adam whispered.

"When, Mi-rae!" he called out.

"We're almost there!" he shouted, his hands working quickly.

two more officers appeared The spells exploded with dark power. Adam's heart skipped a beat as he uttered another spell, one that sent a powerful gust of wind and knocked one of them to the ground.

The second defender approached, his shield blazing. Adam activated a binding spell, piercing the golden chains to confuse the pursuer.

"I'm clear!" Mirai shouted.

As she cleared the trap, the shadows on the ground faded and darkened. She grabbed Do Hyun's hand and pulled him forward. "Come on It's up!"

Adam didn't have to say it twice. He turned and ran, following Meirae along the light path.

the officers followed behind them, their footsteps echoing behind them.

Ahead of them, Mae Rae pointed to a rusty metal door attached to the wall. "Here!"

Aram was the first to reach the door and open it. The three of them ran. Inside, he fired again as the officers approached.

Mi-rae activated the barrier symbol and sealed the door with a shield. The Merchants He attacked her, but the barrier held him back for a moment.

Adam fell to the ground, panting. "This... This is not what I signed. "

Mi-rae leaned against the wall with a sad expression. "Get used to it. The black curtain will never end."

Adamo looked at Mi-rae. "Now let's stop hiding."

raised an eyebrow. "And what should I do?" "To face the black curtain ahead?" »

"Why not?" Adamo asked, surprised by the certainty in his voice. "We've been on the sidelines the whole time, watching every move." What if we follow the next steps? »

Mi-rae studied him for a long time. "You're really big."

Adam nodded. "I'm tired of running. Let's fight again."

Edit: In front of the door, the leaders of the Black Barrier retreated as another figure approached. His presence exuded power and his voice was calm but authoritative. "Let me go I think they ran away We will wait for him at the next shelter.
