Chapter 524
“So we have to finish this within five hours now?”
Jiyeon arrived while I was reading the message and asked.
“Yeah, unless the magic circle gets destroyed again.”
It wasn’t strictly necessary to finish within exactly five hours. For Haram to fully recover his vitality, all protective magic circles had to be active.
The restoration time for each protective magic circle varies. In other words, if we destroy them the moment they’re restored, the time required will keep increasing indefinitely. Five hours was the guaranteed minimum time, assuming we didn’t repeatedly destroy the magic circles.
“If it takes too long, I’ll handle the magic circles.”
“Got it!”
Myeong-hu and Ji-yeon headed back toward the temple. Arriving before it soon, unlike their first visit, they didn’t stop walking and entered the temple immediately.
[Temple of the Forgotten God – You have entered the Sealed Temple.]
Unlike the first time, when countless messages appeared, this time only one message appeared.
Myeong-hu shifted his gaze from the message to High Priest Haram. The blankness that had filled Haram’s eyes was gone.
They were filled with sharpness. Seeing Haram staring at him with those piercing eyes, Myeonghu cast the Mark.
“Mark.”
[Marking is applied.]
Whoosh!
The moment the mark appeared, Myeonghu swung his staff and struck it. The mark flew toward the protective barrier of the seal shielding Haram at tremendous speed.
