Lilith's Plan, Beginning of First Mark (5/8)

Five hours had passed since Rin and Erix crossed the Umbral membrane.

Both had fought a Royal-order shade each and won.

After an hour, Erix flew towards Rin according to the plan and met up with her.

"One hour left before the challengers arrive," Rin said as she put away her Blade Eater.

Erix nodded as he took out two round candies from his Hunter card and handed one to Rin.

"Let's see if the effects really are as Lilith told us," Rin popped up the pill along with Erix as strange energy and feeling permeated their entire body, mind, and even deeper.

Lilith had told both of them to eat these so-called magic pills after four hours. She had given them to Erix yesterday.

The duo had never heard about pills in any store here or seen anyone use them, but they also couldn't inspect the pills.
