Modern Day Talisman Crafter

Adam's words hung in the air, the weight of his challenge weighing heavily on the weight of the room. Mirae folded her arms, her sharp eyes looking at him as if trying to decide whether he was brave or lazy.

Finally, Miri said in her cold voice, "You want to protect me." "And do you think it will end well?"

Adam took a deep breath, and insisted on meeting him. "It's better than waiting for them to rush at us like rats." Look, we just didn't survive the last few times, and that's Because we were despised. If we keep running, they'll catch up with us in no time. But if we fall first. .."

Mi-rae raised an eyebrow. "And you think you're ready to 'beat'?"

Adam clasped his hands, sadness welling up inside. "That's why you have to teach me". Show me how to fight like you."

Mi-rae looked at him speechless Bayan sighed after a moment. "Okay, but if this is done, it will require more than you and me." "What do you know about their work? Where are their weaknesses?

Do Hyun's voice was weak, but his words were carefully considered. "The black curtain works in the rooms. Small groups with a leader answer to the one above. If you take out the leader, some are gone, for a while. "

Adam's voice rose with hope, "Excellent." "Then find their leader and bring him down. It's easy."

Do Hyun nodded. "It's not easy. Each leader has their own position, guarded and well-protected. And the leader of this cell. .." He hesitated with his expression troubled "We call them Wraith. No one survived those who fought them. "

Adam swallowed. "Yes, it may not be easy."

Mi-rae laughed a little. "This little story But if we can take out the Wraith, it will send a message. The black veil cannot be removed."

Adam looked at Mi Rae and Do Hyun. "So what's the plan?" "We need a plan that won't let me down."

Mi-rae walked over to the table, laying out a large map of the city's underground tunnels. "We know they're after us, but they're also holding a location.

Do Hyun nodded. "Probably the Wraith base In the abandoned part of the subway, this is a dead zone, no cameras, no surveillance. It's great for them."

"It's great for us too." "If we go in without knowing, we'll be surprised."

Adam's face. "And how do you do it?"

Mi-rae pulled out a book with a carving pattern. Invisible spells. "They're advanced, but with a lot of practice you can kill for a short time without being detected."

Adam groaned. "The most advanced spell. Fantastic." "

Mi-rae laughed. "You want to learn. This is your chance."

An hour later, Mi-rae challenged Aram relentlessly. The speech was never seen to be precise and focused, every move of the student required full attention.

"Not bad," said Mi-Rai, inspecting his work, "Now, let's see if it works."

Adam moved the amulet, and it was surrounded by a field of light. his body It was isolated and almost invisible against the dark background of the room.

"Wow," Adam said in a confused voice. "It's amazing."

"Don't be fooled," Meirae warned. "The effect will only last a few minutes and you won't be silent. One wrong move and they'll know you're here."

Adam nodded and removed the amulet. "understand" and silence. like a ninja"

Mi-rae's face turned. "Like a ninja. "

Hyun coughed, Getting her attention "If you're serious about this, you need to be more invisible." Wraith is an expert in magic. You want to stop it. "

Mi-rae's heart sank. "Really. Evil spells are bad because they drain energy in unexpected ways. If we're going to survive this, we need purification spells. And they're harder to cast."

Adam cried. "Of course they are. Why not?

"Stop May Rae called.

An hour later, Adam worked tirelessly. The purification formulas required complex designs and deep, concentrated thought: to remove the corruption and restore the balance. His first attempt failed, the spell turning to ash.

When he succeeded, the edges of the card burned, and the mana reserves seemed to be low.

"That's it," Adam took the spell.

Miri said suddenly, "Okay." "You should have three more. "

Adam cried, not struggling.

Finally, the outer tunnels were quiet. Adam's bag was full of new magic, his body ached, but his resolve was strong.

Mi-rae clung to her belt, looking evil. "This is it. We find the Wraith, hit hard, don't stop until it goes down. "

Adam nodded and tightened the grip From his bag "This must be done.

The Breath: As they entered the abandoned underpass, the air grew colder, and a sinister force seeped into the tunnels. From the shadows came a soft, icy voice: "I've been waiting for you. "
