Stepping out onto a narrow alley, the sounds of the city fell into his heart.

"Where are they now?" Adam asked, his voice trembling.

Do Hyun pointed weakly towards the street. This way. "The hideout is two blocks away, in the basement under the doctor's shop."

Adam announced, half crawling, half running with Doo Hyun. Down the hall, the sound of shouting behind him encouraged him, but he couldn't turn.

Through the fog, he saw Mi-rae holding him against three fighters. His movements were quick and precise, his magic blazing with power as he parried their blows.

"Keep going!" Mirai shouted without turning.

Adam clenched his jaw, forced a look, and focused on putting one foot down. Before the other
