Modern Day Talisman Crafter

Chapter 11: Rumors in the Dark

After the battle, the audience fell silent. Adam collapsed on the boxes, the weight of exhaustion dragging him down. Mi-Rae walked around the room, her eyes scanning every corner, as if waiting for the shadows to come to life.

"Do Hyun is unconscious," Miri said, looking at the man still lying on the sofa. He would recover, but there was a simple solution here. "

Adam nodded, his mind a whirlwind of darkness and fear. "We can't keep running like this. If this man with the eyes is walking freely, how can we let him go?''

Mai Rai replied in a voice that was ringing, "They are working. "And they will let him go even worse."

Adam cried. A hand ran through her hair. "Okay. Just what I need to hear."

Before Mi-Rae could answer, the previous villain reappeared, carrying a bag full of interesting things. His face was filled with worry. "The black carpet is no exception. Luckily, none of them finished the job. "

Adam's face fell. "Are you lucky? How can you fight someone like this?"

The frightened man looked back at Mi-rae. You can't do this. "Even if you want to survive this situation, you need better spells, better skills, and better friends."

Mi-rae nodded. It's true. We need to regroup and figure out what we're going to do next."

Adam delayed. "And Hyun? The black veil dissipated the cursed magic. Isn't this what we're going to do next?"

Mi-rae nodded. "One step at a time. If we don't survive, we can't stop."

The frightened man reached into his bag and took out a small carved stone. He gave it to Adam. "It's a hidden treasure. It will hide the system's power signature for a while, but not permanently."

Adam picked up the stone, its surface cold. "So I carry this in my wallet?"

"Close to your skin,"

the men explained. "If the Black Barrier can track your system, it will slow down. "

Mi-rae's heart sank. "But don't wait too long. We have to move before they see us again."

The angry people were exhausted. "There is a safe path in the desert. They'll leave you out, but it's not good. "

Aram cried. "You're telling me our grand escape plan is to crawl through a sewer?"

Mi-rae looked at him. "Should you stay here and wait for them to find you?"

Aram sighed. "Okay, let's stop this. "

The coward led them to a door hidden in the corner of the room. The door opened to reveal a dark and narrow hallway that smelled of dampness and decay.

"Follow this tunnel until you come to an intersection." he commanded. , "From here, take the left path. You will be led to an abandoned maintenance station. you can Here is the group

Mi-rae looked at Aram. "Are you ready?" The glow of Mi-rae's magic lit the path, and the shadows were long. The tremors in the walls

"Remind me not to complain about my apartment again," Adam said, his voice hoarse in the damp air.

Mirae called out, "Look."

They reached a fork in the road. There was no trouble, but as they turned left, they heard a faint sound - a crash in the distance.

"Can you hear it?" He whispered.

Mi-rae nodded and reached for her amulet bag. The blows grew louder, accompanied by a low, guttural roar.

From the darkness before them, two glowing red eyes appeared, followed by a large, dark figure. The icy figure let out a groan, its body twitching as it moved toward them.

Adam called out a spell, but Mi-rae was faster. He slammed the barrier into the ground, the glowing shield rising just in time to block the creature's attack.

"What the hell?!" Adam shouted as he stumbled.

"The glass," Mei Rae said, her voice dark. "Let the Black Barrier guard the tunnels."

The creature clawed at the barrier as its movements became frantic. Cracks began to form like spiderwebs in the blazing mist.

"It's no good, he can't hold it!" Adam shouted.

Mi-rae pulled out a fire spell, swinging it in a sudden motion. The flames shot at the beast, and it retreated A moment later

"Do you have anything useful?" she asked sharply.

Adam reached into his pocket and pulled out a Force Charm he had just made. "I'd love to, but I don't think this shot will work!"

"Use it on the wall!" Mei Rae cried.

Adam hesitated, then threw the spell at the edge of the cave. The rock cracked, shattering from the added force, creating a temporary barrier blocking the current path.

The beast growled, thrashing around in the dirt, but held on.

"Move!" Mi Rae shouted, grabbing Adam's hand and pulling him forward.

They ran through the dark tunnels, a scream echoing behind them.

When they reached the guard station, Adam broke the wall with a sigh.

He said between two breaths: It's not in the textbook.

Mi-rae ignored him, her attention focused on the running tracks carved into the station. the walls "This place is guarded. We are safe now."

Adam groaned and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Right now? Don't say that."

Mi-rae turned to him without saying a word. "If you want guarantees, you're in the wrong office."

Turbulence: Behind the sewers, the ruins were transformed by the progress of the evil beast. Behind him, a black-clad figure stepped into the light, his voice low and threatening. "Find it. "a system user"
