Underground Facility [1]

A few minutes ago...

After the first time, Aina and Eve waited for the invisible barrier to be uplifted again. However, for the last few hours, the barrier had not been lifted, making the two women frown deeply as they thought they had predicted wrong.

"Perhaps that was the last wave?" Aina thought, a lost look on her face.

"Yeah, it seemed so," Eve responded. "Then it seems I just need to get that runesmith and make him tamper with it. Maybe he'd be able to find a way to break this restriction."

Aina nodded, considering the options. Since they couldn't use brute force or risk damaging the structure, the best option was to contact a runesmith. However, just as they were about to agree for Eve to return to the Duchy, the runic patterns on the walls lit up, immediately drawing the attention of the two women.

Aina and Eve's eyes lit up! This phenomenon was very familiar!
