Cloak of Talisman

The cloaks they pulled out were unexpected, I'll give them that. One moment they were just regular, albeit deadly, Goryeo Royal Guards, and the next? Boom. Out come these cloaks filled with talismans. Not just any talismans, either. The glow they emitted had that eerie, dark tinge that told me they weren't your standard issue.

Modern, dark magic.

Definitely not something the original Goryeo toolkit came with. The symbols on the talismans shimmered in the dim light, a mix of old and something disturbingly new.

I couldn't help it—a chuckle slipped out.

"Now this is interesting," I muttered. I tilted my head, studying them as they wrapped themselves in those ancient-modern hybrids. Their auras flared, a surge of power coursing through each of them. I could practically see the mana radiating off them, almost like a heatwave.

"This isn't Goryeo," I said aloud, though more to myself than them.
