She could sense a complex rune structure beneath the mark, seemingly capable of resonating with mana.

Ali looked up at the sky; the rotation speed of the mana needles and air vortex was far from normal, suggesting she still had ample time.

With a calm mind, Ali mobilized her mana, tentatively feeding it into the intricate structure beneath the mark.

It was like pressing the button of a nuclear reactor, a surge of heat so intense it felt like it could melt her burst forth from the mark!

A simulated wave of sound exploded in her ears, and everything in Ali's vision was coated with a faint white light.

"Here are the last two pieces of advice."

The voice of Nameless echoed in Ali's ear.

"First, 'Brave' directly alters causality by stripping away lifespan, which will change the rate at which you age."
