Second Phase Project on the Mask of Truth

Time is like flowing water. The years pass by easily without one noticing.

On this day, in front of the massive test bench, Grimm set out in creating rune strokes on the Mask of Truth using a quill pen dipped in precious magic ink.

Tick, tock, tick, tock…

The gears in the mechanical clock kept on spinning. Further away, was a chronograph hourglass that produced a constant, yet faint "shh, shh" sound. It was as if both of them were creating a synchronized beat that accompanied Grimm's progress in his work.

From time to time, Grimm dipped his quill pen in the magic ink before he continued drawing the runes meticulously.

Dong…

Suddenly, the mechanical clock chimed, indicating that the solidifying process for the high-density energy gel block in the Eternal Destructive Energy Meter was complete.

As if woken up from a dream, Grimm jolted subtly from the chime. He sighed before putting down the quill pen on the table.
