"W–What the hell are you doing here?!" Lyanna's voice trembled with disbelief as she watched Adam stroll in like he had all the time in the world.
"It's too dangerous—you need to leave," Luna-Evelyn stepped forward.
"You again..." Krainel finally spoke, his oozing corruption making the air feel heavy.
"Adam." Luna-Evelyn called Adam once more.
The last time was a stroke of luck he got unscathed, it wouldn't happen again.
"I know how to beat him." Adam's voice was calm—too calm for someone standing before a rampaging demon. He extended his hand, and in a flash, a sleek black case materialized before him. "Just buy me some time."
Lyanna blinked, utterly dumbfounded. "You?! Have you completely lost your mind?!" She could hardly believe what she was seeing—Adam, casually kneeling down, flipping open vials, and beginning some kind of alchemical experiment... right in front of Krainel in his full demonic form.
