Chapter 21: A Battle in the Shadows
The strong wind in the tunnel thickened, and these two figures appeared before them. The larger figure approached, their evil spell shining with a dark force that sent shivers down Adam's spine.
"Last chance," the first man said, their voices quiet. "If you survive the drama, you might live to see a morning."
Mi-rae's jaw tightened, her hands moving to seal. "Do you want it? Come get it."
Adam fell. "Can we try the sign? for once?"
The larger man laughed, and a sound echoed through the narrow corridor. "The Degree? It wasn't that the accounts were made. "
They ran away suddenly, their large form closing the distance. Mi-rae immediately responded and activated the barrier spell that had revived when the shatter spell hit. The impact sent a shockwave through the tunnel, causing Adam to turn around.
"Adam, get away from the fragment Sag!" Mi Rae shouted, being deflected by the wind.
Adam turned and grabbed the bag. It was a slow, steady beat, and the energy in his chest was like a new heart beating. "Yes, no problem! Just leave me alone!"
Do Hyun leaned against the wall, his face pale. "They're not just hijab sellers," he whispered. "These prayers - they rely on your life force. They will not stop until one of us dies. "
"The Dream", Adam He grunted and pulled out a tie.
The first figure stepped forward, their movements quick and precise. Mi-rae intercepts them with a flamethrower, blasts them with flames, and retreats.
Adam activated his binding law. The chains held, holding for a moment.
"Mi-rae, now!" Adam shouted.
Mi-rae didn't hesitate. She released a bolt of lightning. A bolt that hit the larger figure directly. They screamed in pain, their magic blazing, the evil energy shaking.
But the deadline was short. The first form moved with blinding speed, cutting through the golden chains with its spell, freeing its companion.
The first form said coldly, "You are wasting your power." "You cannot win this fight."
Mi-rae walked away with her magic blazing energy - Let's see.
The larger form returned, their broken spell turning into a jagged blade. They attacked again, swinging the weapon with brutal force. Mi-rae activated the protective glass, blocking the blow, but her teeth gritted under the pressure.
"Human, find an opening!" she shouted.
Adam's eyes darted between the two attackers, his mind racing. His magic was few and far between, and neither enemy showed any signs of fatigue. He shot His weak whisper clashed with his thoughts again.
"Use me," he whispered. "My power can end this. "
Adam shook his head. "No chance!"
"What?" Mirai woke up and looked at him.
"Nothing!" Adam shouted, forcing himself to focus. He pulled out the Speed Talisman, activated it, and threw it aside as the first man's shield was pushed away.
Corrupted Energy ricocheted off him, cutting a deep gash into the tunnel wall.
, "You'll be quick," the eye said. "But not fast enough."
Adam's teeth were gritted, and another spell appeared. He pressed his fingers against the bag containing the crumbs, and hesitated. The whispers grew louder, their intensity deceptive.
"You can't win without me. You'll all die."
Adam growled under his breath, bringing a fire symbol. He threw it at the first form, the flames becoming intense They had to escape
Mi-rae took the opportunity and activated the air blast, bringing the large form back. "Adam, focus! Don't let them in the box!"
"I'm trying!" Adam shouted, and the darkness grew.
The first form laughed, their spells glowing evilly. "That's enough."
They slammed the spell into the ground, sending a destructive wave into the tunnel. This force broke Mi-rae's barrier, and Adam scattered.
The large figure stepped forward, their faces raised.
As Adam stepped back, his heart beating fast, his hand closing on his chest. His whispers, a plea, a command.
"Let me go, I must show you what I do. "
For a moment one thought.
But Mi-rae's voice cleared the fog. "Don't listen, Adam! Fight!"
Adam blinked, his grip on the umbrella tightened. "I don't… I won't let him win."
He cast another binding spell, the golden chain wrapping around the larger form. This time he gave every ounce of attention to her and forced the chains to stay tight.
"Mi-rae, done!" he shouted.
Mi-rae activated the purification spell, her golden light as it shattered into the larger form. The force of the blow recoiled, shattering the blade in their hands.
The great form roared Before they fell, their spell was broken.
The first form to be cast aside, their gaze darting between Mi-rae and Aram. "This is not over," they said coldly.
Confused, they retreated into the shadows, disappearing before either of them could answer.
Adam fell to the ground, his chest heaving. "Tell me they won't come back."
Mi-rae lowered her mana, her face pale, still firm. "Not tonight."
Do Hyun sank To the wall, his expression bitter. They kept adding.
Adam looked at the bag containing the chip, its glow, but still. "Then we'd better find out what this thing is - quickly."
