"Where is Adam?"
Lunevy's voice trembled slightly as she asked.
The others exchanged uneasy glances, their expressions mirroring her concerns.
Nearby, a jagged hole marred the ground close to Isaac. And Adam? He was nowhere to be found.
It didn't take long for them to draw a conclusion: the man with the Book was undoubtedly an ally of Krainel Salvador.
"Adam must've found that hole and he had probably encountered Isaac down there… and something happened.
Isaac remained silent.
Unbeknownst to the group, Isaac had carefully erased his presence and concealed his mana while dealing with the unknown man. Yet, despite his best efforts, the man's desperate counterattack had escaped suppression, alerting them all.
Now, Isaac faced a critical dilemma. He couldn't revert to Adam—not now. If the group ventured into the hole and found a corpse but no trace of Adam, it would spark even more questions, questions Isaac wasn't prepared to answer.
