Adam leaned against the wall of the maintenance station, the cold stone pressed against his back. The glow of Mi-rae's flashlight illuminated the small room, casting a long shadow over the rusting racks of equipment and forgotten machines.

"Okay," Adam said, still breathing. We're being arrested again. We escaped a group of cunning psychics hiding in the sewers, and some kind of vicious dog is trying to eat us. "Did I miss something?"

Mi-rae ignored him, picking him up Beside Do Hyun, consciousness had not yet returned. He pressed a bright mark to his forehead, a soft light spreading over his skin like waves of water.

He said to himself more than Adam, "It's stable."

Adam stood up, his muscles protesting. "Yeah, that's great, but what's the plan now? Because I'm really tired of running for my life."

Mi-rae stood up and faced him. "The Black Barrier has sent a dangerous monster after us. They must be close. We can't stay here much longer."

Adam raised his hands. "Say how many times will it end. What about long-term solutions? Like, I don't know, finding a way to make it happen? "

Mi-rae narrowed her eyes. "Do you think we're ready for this?" You don't know how to use your magic, and Black Veil has been perfecting it for ten years. "

"Now teach me!" Adam replied. "Yeah, we'll keep running, they'll keep chasing the end. I've got to step up and do that. now "

Mi-rae studied him for a moment, staring hard and counting. Finally, she shook her head. "Okay. But you have to follow through."

"Okay," he said as he picked up the brush and paint. "Let's do it."

Mi-rae watched silently as Aram began to draw symbols, his strokes guided by the system's weak signals. Sweat dripped down his forehead as he worked, and the attempt to transfer power through the brush became more difficult.

After what seemed like an eternity, he After finishing the last line, the spell flared, the pattern glowing with golden light.

"How did I do?" Adam asked as he held her.

Mi-rae looked at him carefully, nodding in agreement. "It's not bad. Turn around."

Adam hesitated. "Um, we know this is a good idea?" We've been here a while.

Mi-rae still didn't answer, when a small sound came from the outside hallway.

Adam's stomach growled. "Please tell me it's just my imagination." They walked together by turning their claws into stone.

"I'm here," Miri said in a cold, calm voice. "Get ready."

Adam stood up, holding Link's amulet in his hand. "I thought you said this place was protected!"

"It is," Meirae said. "But the protection won't last forever. ""

The door to the guard station closed, a sound echoing through the room.

Mi-rae sent a reassuring sign to Aram. "Write it by the door. It'll be a good time." "

Adam tried to continue and activated another defensive spell to protect Do Hyun while the fight intensified.

"Now, Adam!" she shouted.

Adam activated fire magic and threw the beast away. The paper caught fire in the air, exploding into a blaze that consumed the creature.

The beast howled before the ash erupted.

Adamo fell to the ground, his chest heaving. "Please tell me what the last thing was."

Mi-rae didn't answer right away. She looked across the room, her prayers still clear.

"Now," he said finally. "But we must move. It's just a reconnaissance group. The real threat is still outside."
