Chapter 20: Chapter 20: Uneasy Alliances
The chaos in the tunnel continued after the beast broke loose. Adam sat on the wall, still holding the bag of items, as if they could connect him to the truth. Mi-Rae stood a few meters away, her expression unreadable as she put the piece in her bag.
"Okay," Adam said, his voice shaking. "We fought a ghost dog from hell. "Well, because this whole thing is like a great death sentence."
Mi-rae turned to him with her sword. We must continue. Black Veil knows he's on the line now, and won't let go until he's got it. .. or until we do."
Do Hyun, leaning against the wall, shook his head weakly. "We need allies. If Veil is already releasing evil beasts, it means they are increasing. We can't handle this alone."
Adam sneered as he stood up. "Oh, we'll send out a message. "Required: Strengthen To fight a mad spell an amulet. It must carry its mysterious powers. "" That will be fine. "
Mi-rae ignored his taunt, her mind clear. "Do Hyun is right. There are others: families, artists, even traders. People who have lost everything because of the hijab. If we find them, they will join us. "
Adam's face fell, and he stopped being tired of doubting. And how do we know they won't stab us in the back? You ask us to trust strangers Fight against people who specialize in corruption and deceit. "
Mi-rae's eyes are piercing. "We don't have the good faith, there are too many of us, if we don't compromise, we will die immediately. "
Adam groaned, running a hand through his hair. "Okay, okay. But where do we start?"
Do Hyun sat down, hunched over as he shifted his weight. "There's a group in the old southern region. They are lonely, but they have fought against the black Years of the Hijab If anyone can help us, it is them. "
Mi-rae nodded. "Then we must head south. Adam, you have the power to hide the curtain." If anything happens, anything, it'll come from here."
Adam hesitated, his words losing weight. "Yeah, no pressure or anything."
Dry blinked weakly, as if answering a phone. Adam woke up and pocketed the clutch.
"Let's go," Miri said. debate
groups entered the tunnel. Their footsteps rang in the dim light. The air grew colder, and they became silent. They would only break with a few drops of water, or break against the rusted metal.
As they walked, Adam couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness at the sight of her glow. Her weak pulse seemed to echo in his heartbeat, a silent reminder of her presence.
Adam said softly: Do Hyun, look at the old man. "What do you think? Is this thing real? It's not just a part of the Wraith, is it?"
Do Hyun's spirit grew dark. "I don't know. But whatever it is, it's ancient. But they didn't create it, they discovered it. The soul is just a vessel, a tool for transferring power. If you tell me. "..that means he sees something in you."
"Great," Adam whispered. "That's exactly what I wanted to hear. "
Mi-rae slowed down, her hand going to her waist and turning back. "Silence."
Adam finished, His heart pounding, "What is this?"
Mi-rae's eyes looked sad. "We're not the only ones. "
A figure emerged from the shadows before us. They wore long cloaks, veils covering their faces. In their hands was a glowing spell, its power slightly explosive.
"You have something that is not yours,"
Martha said in a calm and measured voice.
Adam's stomach clenched. "And I should think: Are you here to answer?" "I don't think You, give me the place, and I will be saved. "
Mi-rae walked away, her spells shining beside her. "It won't happen."
The figure sighed, her spells shining. - So I think we'll do it the hard way.
Excitement: When the man's magic was activated, the tunnel exploded with blinding light. As Adam's vision faded, another figure stood beside the first, the last taller, his presence a sinister, malevolent force. "Give it to us." The tall man growled. "
